What do you tell your wife when you mod?

I tried honesty.... now she wants me to get her a 997 Turbo (because she thinks they are nicer looking than 996 Turbos)... and she's already planning mods for it... ouch.
Gentlemen... lie, then lie some more!

see, the way i get away with getting mods is because i work full time, and i have my own side business. therefore, i don't tell my husband to get me one. i just get my own. =)

Question is:
What do you tell your wife/girlfriend, when you need to mod it?

LOLOL Some of our customers tell them they are in for repairs.
Some of them have a special "file" for those things with us.
And honestly a lot of clients wives encourage it and are supportive of it.
One of my customers wives said. I prefer him spending his money on the car rather than going out drinking and partying and getting into trouble.... At least I can enjoy the car too... My response.. Do you have a sister ? LOL

for those of you w/ wives that have an issue with mods or you feel the NEED to butter up to them in order to purchase them.....even though you make the income.....send those ladies my way! they just need to have a little chat w/ me! or...REMIND them of their shopping sprees! i'm on your side!! if you don't have it, then don't spend it. if you have to charge it...don't spend it. but if you make it....then SPEND it!
one more thing....just wait till she starts bugging you all about having a kid! =P

okay..that's PW'd. tell the ladies to go and get a job. that way, you can afford mods. =P
my guy doesn't feel compeled to buy me gifts if he mods his car. he makes way more $ than i do! our bills are paid, we both eat every night, we have savings, credit, p cars are paid off, so why would he need to buy something for me if he can afford mods? you guys shouldn't feel at ALL guilty! if you can swing it...buy it! either that or give her the pants to wear! =P

That's callled the old "If you want a dog.......ask for a horse" routine........and Im surprised to see no one has quoted the old adage " It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission"
