AMEN

Don't you guys use the "wife pricing" when talking? What's the wife pricing? Well, take the actual cost, divide in half, now add a few bucks to make it more realistic. Here's an example: My 3-link wife price is $300. Nice round number and doesn't sound too unrealistic.

By the way, I don't do this with my wife. She could care less what I spend on my car, so long as it makes me happy.

I told my wife the actual price of a few parts I got in the beginning, and she hasn't asked since. Either she's scared to ask, or she's not half bad and I should feel quite lucky.

Although, when she comes home from Bed bath and Beyond with five sacks full of new crap to clutter up the house, I don't dare say a word.

Know your pricing up front....so when asked, you can just blurt it out. Should we all converge on $16,500?

 

[Hank Dondero]

Jack,

I like that number.

Don't forget to tell her that even though you've ONLY invested $16,500 in the project that you could turn around and sell it tommorow for $30,000! You go you financial wizard you.

And the Halibrands were part of the kit!

I still haven't figured out what to say about the wheels coming from Australia. I'll have to admit to more than my standard "few hundred bucks" answer.

 

[BillG]

Wish I could go but, I have to work this weekend.

 

[fact5racer]

Easy OldGuy, the wheels are coming from Australia? Two words: EXCHANGE RATE!

 

[oldguy668]

Is "exchange rate" Australian for "free lunch"?

 

[David G]

I believe "exchange rate" is the number of times per week you have to sleep on the couch.

Ryan, AMEN brother!

Damn I laughed at that comment about the crap to clutter up the house.
