DavyP:

Is it just me or does anyone else's other half not get the point of modding.

My every attempt at purchasing a mod is met with grief and the usual you spent x amount on the car why do you need to spend more?
Whats wrong with the brakes you have? There's nothing wrong with the exhaust you have already got etc.

Her latest tactic is to match my spending penny for penny, which is somewhat disturbing.

Should I have beat her when we first met? Is that why shes now so unruley

It's got to the point now where I have to covertly syphon off funds to make a purchase, made harder by the fact she's an accountant.  So make me feel better and enlighten me with your tails of grief and domestic strife.  Or perhaps a solution to my problems? :confused:

My girlfriend is pretty good as she is almost as bad for speed as I am. I got her Beetle remapped and when the clutch started to slip I told her we might have to take the map off. Needless to say the map is still on there as she wasnt happy with losing any power. She loves driving my remapped Golf and as long as all the bills are paid she is happy for me to do what I like!  :happy2:

Greeners:
My philosophy has always been the same!

''Can't live with em, can't kill em''  :laugh:

I have my own account and do what I want with my money, this seems to work until she asks how much a certain thing was then begins to think about what she could have bought for the house with ''that much!!''

 :rolleye:

magpie:
same as mark really she love the power so soon as i get a golf it will be in for a remap i think just need to decided on GTI or GTTDI then the modding will begin, she can't complain becouse i dont when she is buying another bag or shoes or make up

tony_danza:
Mine doesn't care less, she knows I only ever spend what I have (i.e. I have no debt from either buying it or modding it) and I've always got money if we need to go halves on something like a holiday or stuff for the house. I don't question her shoe collection for the same reasons!

I don't don't have any money hungry habits like smoking etc, so the car is my only luxury expenditure.
