She was so happy/relieved - she constantly worried about money when there was no need to. So I just stuffed all my side job earnings into a envelope and after a year or so counted it up.... _~$6-7000 I think. So I opened a seperate checking account. A month later the statement showed up, she opened it and FREAKED! How could you hide this money from me, how could you do this, blah blah blah... I was floored, that was the deal, so before she could bitch anymore I went and drained the account on the Motec

Look, look, it's gone sweetie, don't worry anymore.

My wife's pretty good...I don't spend money unless I need it or it's a good deal and she understands. Latest quote: "it's ok sweetie, if you mess it up, buy some more."

All my 9 hour striaght work is done on my extra day off. You bet your ass you will see me in the garage every Monday if my work goes back to 4 10hr shifts. It is every two weeks right now with 4/5 day weeks

Nice! How goes the breakin Sean?

I was road tripping with a buddy of mine when he asks, "Brian, do you have a cap on how much you can spend in parts?"
"No, why?"
"Well, blah blah just flipped her shit when she found out I spent $1,200 on an exhaust for the Elise."
"What? You two aren't married, you don't share a checking account yet, WTF is that shit about? Your money, fuck her if she doesn't like it. She's really pissed becuase you have the money to spend and she doesn't. It's different when you're married, a little."

A few months later he kept spending money on the Elise and she kept bitching until he finally sold a car that he waited 2 years to get after 6 months of ownership.

He better be getting 1000 BJs a day or something after doing that.

You've been PM'ed

Phoenix7 · 09-07-2009, 08:40 PM

ouch, THAT'S whipped!

***TitaniumTT*** · 09-07-2009, 09:47 PM

werd, he married her too.

Phoenix7 · 09-07-2009, 11:31 PM

well, SOMETHING about her is worth his most coveted toy so at least they're cool. But 2 year wait, trade-in 6mo into it? that's cold.

***TitaniumTT*** · 09-08-2009, 07:03 AM

He's 32 and to the best of our memories he's had 20+ cars. So it's right about average for him

In the 4 years he's been in CA he's had at least 7 cars that I can remember.

WE3RX7 · 09-08-2009, 11:44 AM

Ha ^ I have a friend like that too... and right now he's selling his elise, lol...

***TitaniumTT*** · 09-08-2009, 09:06 PM

Ugh, that's painful.... just not fair.

So it's all set, the Dyno, 9/24.......... in the meantime I'm still working on some driveability crap. Light throttle tip in is pissing me off, I'm not even seeing an accel rate of change becuase I'm easing on so gently. Thinking about changing the type of input in the setups

Also, boosting 160 kpa or ~ <9 lbs. Cars a rocket, can't wait to see 15+

My B-day is the 25th.... A GREAT present would be a video *wink wink*

Side story, my engine blew yesterday coasting around a corner on my way home. Ordered up the rest of my lines fittings and I'm gonna try and have the other block in by the end of the week. I'm just glad my trip was the opposite of rush-hour traffic so I got to putter along at 70 mph popping flames off everywhere. Still started and idled on 1 rotor at ~750 rpms too. Now that the block is cold I can't get it to start back up but it sure does make some exhaust racket when it tries.

Hmmmmm, I'll see what I can do. With any luck I'll have most of the driveability crap sorted and a good base going so we can have some fun that day. Fun as in 8k & 15+lbs and toying with the sequentials. I'm really going to have to dial in some boost trims though. Spiked 12lbs tonight in 2nd and broke the tires loose @ 1/2 throttle.

Soooooooo, how'd she pop coasting a corner? I'm intrigued. Good luck with the swap over....... we demand pics damnit.

I REALLY don't know. Was hitting the U-turn lane to head back home from Bone Daddy's and just as I started accelerating at the exit of the turn the car just lurched and had a hard time accelerating. The way it sounded, and reacted, I thought I had hit something at first on the road and it got stuck on a wheel or something since the turn is basically blind from the walls being so high (or maybe my car so low) and the u-turn lane so narrow. I had clutched out and all of a sudden the car seemed to be rolling as if nothing was stuck anywhere so I tried free-revving..... *brathrptthrpthtrhpthrphtprht-BANG* "ooooooo, haha, Meester Vankel, ve haf a man dowwwn!" Unless it was some freak fuel starvation when I had 3/4 a tank of fuel I am clueless. Oil levels were right, had fuel, no smoke, no nothing.

WE3RX7 · 09-08-2009, 10:06 PM

9/24 huh... wonder if I can get some mods done up on the 8 and make another dyno trip, lol... my clutch officially sucks now too. Dave found it and now it shows up every time I shift into 3rd at 8500... time for lightweight flywheel... and stage II clutch!

***TitaniumTT*** · 09-09-2009, 08:57 AM
