1st Gen R53 Cooper S Most liked posts in thread: Wife Left me alone with the credit card

Wait till your reduced to acting like some junkie racing home to beat your wife and hide the box sitting on the front porch before she sees it....it at least puts off the reality until the credit card bill comes in....oh the shame of it all...lol

 

Damn you guys are wusses! :devil::lol:

 

Yes.....and who doesn't fear those four words from the wife.....

"WHAT'S IN THE BOX?"

 

:cornut: I agree. Stand up to her. Meet her head on..................the last 2 times that I did this, I met her in court and let me tell you that you've never really met a woman until you've met her in court!:eek6::wink::lol:

Have you reduced yourself to drive the opened boxes to the recycling bin or burn them yet?
I still have boxes in my closet :devil:

 

:cornut: Me too DaveO. Once they're on, they're on until they break.

Same here and that do help...but if things do start getting out of hand, I just say "well honey I can always just go back to my old hobby," which was drinking..... LOL:devil:

Then I usually hear "So what ya getting next!!!":cornut:

 

My wife likes shoes. And jewelry.

I'm old enough I really don't need/want anything expensive for Christmas.

Makes buying stuff for the MINI a piece of cake.

Now, telling her I'm going to the track on such and such weekend, that's a different story. She needs to get a boyfriend or something.

 

Good luck with your wife. :wink:

 

I've even contemplated having them sent to a different address :ihih:. However, I'm not married so... I don't have the issue of losing certain privileges :devil:

 

Hahahahahha ^^^^^


I bet the app on you wife's phone was ringing like a winning casino slot machine when you were shopping.

 

this is so funny to read because I do this all the time (buy stuff for the mini) and my husband is the one who says "whats in the box?" so I changed my work hours so I get home before him and therefore can get rid of...um...recycle anything... :wink:

 

Yeah my wife does not care about car parts. It's my hobbie.

At least I am not one of those cats that buys good car parts, has them installed, get tuned, and them take out and sell them a few weeks later.

That's nothing to be proud of Russ.

Back to Frilly Mini 2 face.....your a fake person.

 

Same here so I keep the major boxes that the part's and tools that can be placing the old parts in.

 

I have my vices (MINI) and she has hers, the two never cross.
Maybe because I do all the maintenance on her car and tell her how much we saved by doing it. She never gives me a hard time buying parts.
