Tax Return

**Damn True** · 01-31-2006

So I visited the tax-man today and it looks like a fair sized return will arrive within a couple weeks. Not a huge sum, but enough to have a little fun with. So I called the fiance to share my excitement and her reply was, "Don't spend it all in one place."

Now, am I correct in the assumption that she means it would be ok to spend part on a Lincoln 175 and another bit on some tubs and SFC's from DSE?

Or am I about to get kicked in the groin for not spending it on Valentines Day?

Ok.. here is what you do.. it's called the "Enron Gambit"..

if you get $3000 back you spend $2k on the car but only tell her you spent $800.. then you give her a $500 gift and a gift card for $500 for her to go shopping with..

everyone's a winner!

Whenever I buy parts for my car I buy something for my wife.. now she actually encourages me to buy car parts

Detroit speed and vintage wheel works are in fact... two separate places!

**Damn True** · 01-31-2006

It's not THAT big of a tax return.....besides, I'm going with the Team III wheels.

Steve, that's some funny stuff right there..."Enron Gambit"

....but, it's just crazy enough to work.

All I know is, my Fed Tax refund is gonna go right to my town to cover the $2K increase in property taxes. Greedy *******s!

Steve,
I follow the same logic. If I get something expensive for the car, I give her a trip to the day spa or just cash to blow...works great! Like you said, everyone's a winner.

**RaceMan** · 01-31-2006

I tried to tell my wife that buying parts for THE CAR (ok my car) was really doing something for both of us , she'll get to ride in it too maybe even drive it some day .
anyway it didn't go over very well so don't try that one lol

**6'9"Witha69** · 02-01-2006

I tell my wife, the sooner I finish the '69 the sooner I can get to work on her '71.

**Todds69** · 02-01-2006

The welder can be used at many different things not just your car...once you get good enough at it maybe you could even make some cash on the side. It's all about the wording...."It's an investment honey"

**Jagarang** · 02-01-2006

You guys TELL your wives when you buy expensive car parts! Your all just foaming and the mouth crazy and have big cojones!

**CAMAROBOY69** · 02-01-2006

or... you guys do what I do. I buy a part for my 69 Camaro then I buy a part for my girlfriends 67 Mustang and it all works out perfect.

**Damn True** · 02-01-2006

Ok, here's the plan. I buy 2 passes for the day spa she likes. She can go twice, we can go together, or she can take a girlfriend. Then I buy a welder, tubs and SFC's.

This should keep me from getting kicked in the groin.

**chet** · 02-01-2006

go with her to the day spa? What kind of talk is that? she goes to the spa and you go to the man spa (the shop!) Good to see someone is getting something back!

I'm with Kevin, only tell them if they see the box in the garage. It's easier to ask forgivness than permission.

I'm with Jag, the first mistake you made was telling your sig other your getting a retun.... The second was how much....

Steve,

She actually reads these boards with me sometimes. Please don't add things to my posts that might be seen as inappropriate.

A nice massage and an hour in a hot tub with my hot fiance. Good stuff man.

**shmoov69** · 02-01-2006

You guys are a bunch of wussies!! I tell my wife what I am going to do and if she don't like it, she can kiss my butt!!

Then I give her my check.
