Got a raise today!!
That means I'll have money saved up for the wedding sooner, which means I'll be able to mod my ride sooner!

Ha... better think about getting modded BEFORE the wedding. You know, before the ownership takes place. On your wedding night your new bride will officially own you. Congrats on the raise. I used to work for a company that knew how to take car of their employee's. The company I work for now just flat out sucks. I've never gone 4 years with only one raise, but I'm the moron. I haven't left yet. For some unknown reason I care too much about doing my job for a company I hate.

My fiancee is pretty cool about this stuff. Unfortuantely right now I'm paying a mortgage, 2 cars and 2 student loans with her help. We have to pay for our own wedding and those cost a fortune. That's a lot of debt and we haven't even purchased furniture for our house. I really can't wait to mod. She's already given me the green light for a plasma TV, surround sound, etc so she should be ok with me getting a few simple mods right? Every time she sees me on this site she rolls her eyes and says "No!" because she knows that making my car faster is no good!

My wife told me that it was because of her that I have a house. I told her "If it wasn't for you, I'd have alot more toys than what I have now." She then thanked me as if I were paying her a compliment.
Remember... The only time a man is king of his castle, is when the queen is out shopping.

It's always easier to beg for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission.

Get your mods BEFORE you get married otherwise, you too will fall to the ball and chain. No disrespect to your soon to be. Just be weary of what the guys are telling you.

Well, i hear ya all. I'm getting hitched in June, so i'm trying to get all my stuff before, unfortunately these wedding things cost a lot of money...Deep down inside she loves the car, she just won't admit it. Speaking of really good days though! I just found out some dormant for the last 3 years shares of mine rocketted today, so i wound up with an out of the blue extra $20,000 today... What to do, what to do...
