My wife tolerates it well, she even let me mod her car. hahahaha. She picked her own wheels and stuff but says she doesn't want anything else done to the car.

It's okay, I used to make fun of him all of the time and some times I still do but it's something he really loves and I love him so I thought instead of going against him I should try to enjoy what he enjoys. I do like it though and I love spending that time with him. So don't worry...maybe she'll warm up to it :)

She likes cars, she just wants a faster car already. I think the connection between mods and the changes to the way the car handles/drives are not being made and that's why she sees the mods as a waste of $$. But she does like the new retrofit headlights she got. So, she's coming around......hahahah.

I'm trying to convince her to get a new Mustang GT but she wants an old Mach one. In her words "It has to be badass and I want it to be black!"

She likes this one in particular:

Soon enough... hahaha. I did brake and suspension upgrades for her first since I felt like I was going to die with the way she likes to drive. It feels much safer now. She did pick her own wheels, which required me learning to do body work. Roll and shaved fenders.

Hahaha. When do you need them done?

Are you getting new wheels or are you rubbing your current setup? I can drive up anytime. I'd prefer to do it when the weather gets a little warmer, but let me know what you need.

They're rubbing now, only on hard turns though. And yea, when it gets warmer for sure, I'm not gonna be taking turns fast in the snow.

Well my wife want's to come up to Chicago anyway and go to a nice museum and out to eat somewhere fancy. So we can definitely make this happen. If the winter stays mild then we can do it sooner. I'll keep you posted and if me and her find a good week/weekend that works with your schedule that would be sweet. I'll pm you and such and see what we can work out.

She is going to Vegas for a few days in January so if I'm potentially "off" that week we could even do it then. I work a 4 day 10hrs then 3 day 12hr week. So I'm off Mon-Thurs every other week. It's complicated but eh, some days put together it nice.

Days off in a row are nice, I never have more than 2 in a row, usually it's just 1.
Be prepared though, January in Chicago is brutal. Spring would be better for you but of course, up to you.

Anyone else's suspension getting very stiff with the cold? Mine felt fine until we had 2 days in a row that were about -20 with the windchill and since then it's felt really stiff.
