The secret to getting your wife to go along with buying collector cars
is to make sure that you are never caught denying her the things she
desires that you don't understand. If you have ever heard yourself say
"you don't really need that" or "what do you want that for" then you
haven't got a leg to stand on. If you don't finish your projects then
that can be a potential cause too. If you are both intent on spoiling
each other and have a bit of self control then you will find little
resistance to future purchases.
Women are not in the least bit conned by all that "reaons why I need a
Hemi Cuda," stuff.They are not that stupid.Sometimes they just
capitulate because the argument isn't worth the bother.The best solution
is that she wants you to have a few toys because you make sure she has
some of the totally unnecessary but pleasant things she enjoys.
If how ever she is driving a beat up Toyota Camary wagon that has bald
tires and is dripping gas in the driveway and if her washing machine is
still some old piece of junk sitting on a 2X4 to keep it level than you
deserve nothing and your manhood is severely in question. The best path
to a collector car is paved with jewelry and antiques!
Amen
