Questions that wives ask......

[Brosky]

I originally posted this elsewhere, but thought that it needed everyones input:

"Is there a Runyon in your family history that I don't know about?"

"Who is this guy in New Mexico?"

"Please explain exactly why you need a spare cylinder head?"

"Why do we always have time to go for a ride to some machine shop 30 miles away, but never to JC Penney's to look at curtains?"

"What exactly is the difference between Mother's and Meguiars and we do we have to drive all the way across town to buy it?"

How many spare speedometers and tachometers do we need if the originals are still working?"

"Now that the car runs so well, why are you getting another distributor recurved?"

"NO, I DO NOT want to learn how to properly use a clay bar today!!"

 

[roofman]

I get the stern " there is ANOTHER box on the porch".

 

[TR6oldtimer]

I get "Ha Ha Ha, you screwed it up again!"

 

[angelfj1]

OR, "the FedEx man and I are running away together.

 

[DrEntropy]

Hmmm. That's odd.

My admonishments don't usually come in the form of actual WORDS...

...it's more of a "look" kinda thing.
And it can induce a frightenin' chill on me nape. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/jester.gif

 

[tomshobby]

I am not sure which is worse. The questions you guys get or the sad eyes I get when ours is not running.

 

[DrEntropy]

Last "sad eyes" I got was when the A/C in Diesela pooped out and I didn't just JUMP UP AND FIX IT!!

...sheesh. You'd think a Uki girl would be a bit more heat tolerant. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif

 

[toysrrus]

Hey DrEntropy;

A "UKI" girl? I happen to be "Ukranian" myself if thats what you mean?

If she is a "Uki"; What was her Maiden Name? Perhaps we know ea. other?

Relative to what my better half says or thinks; I really don`t care!! When it comes to my toys; I do whatever I want to do!!

See Ya All Later;

Regards, Russ

I am fortunate to be married to the daughter of a car tinkerer. The list of cars my Father in Law has owned is pretty amazing. 1950 Austin A40 that he used to drive his Weimeriners around in, Austin Healey BN6-100, 1956 Sunbeam Rapier, 1949 MG YT, etc, etc.

When I met my Wife, he had just started getting into Model A collecting. His first was a Street rod coupe with a pinto engine with air conditioning.

My wife is very sympathic, except for 1 question.

"When do I get to drive?"

 

[CaptRoy]

My wifes favorite... "So how much do you really have in that car??"

Prezactly what I mean. I Posted This Info In a Reply To a Post You Made When You First Arrived Here inna BCF.

If she is a "Uki"; What was her Maiden Name? Perhaps we know ea. other?

Not gonna post that, Russ. ~I'm~ not the Uki. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif Ever know any of the "Ukranian Dancers of Miami?" Go to H.S. in western PA?

Relative to what my better half says or thinks; I really don`t care!! When it comes to my toys; I do whatever I want to do!!

You sound JUST like my wife.

...must be a Uki thing.

"nostrovia!" for lack of a better (Cyrillic) word. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cheers.gif

 

[Harry_Ward]

You guys got it easy!

How much can we get for it?
Why does it cost so much if it's so old?
You paid how much for that rusty looking part thing?
I'm not gonna get hepatitis from that am I?
I heard you only have to touch rust to get hepatitis?
What's that creaking noise?
I saw Mike the UPS guy at work today and he wants to know where you want him to leave the box this time?
Where's that gas smell coming from?
Where's all this smoke coming from?
How long is this going to take? (while helping to bleed the brake or clutch lines)
Why didn't they use real seat belts back then?
Can you move this lever thing here hitting my leg?
How come it gets so hot?
How come it's so cold?
Can't you stuff more padding in the seat?
Why no head rest?
Can't we put a bigger mirror there and why are those so far away?
Why are the lights flickering on and off? Are you welding again? See follow up question concerning smoke.
What do you mean I have to push?
Is that little red light suppose to be on all the time?
I'm sure there's more but I really don't want to think about it anymore.

My wife stopped asking questions. Well almost. She asked why I needed another hardtop when I already have one.

One is an old Parrish Plastics top, the other is a factory top. She accepted the explanation.

BTW she doesn't like riding in the TR6. She prefers her Miata.

 

[DrEntropy]

This makes perfect sense!

...You found the factory top AFTER having the T. Parrish for a while. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

I can't understand why the question was even asked. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif

Mine's favorites are:
"And just where are you gonna get the money for that?"

"Where you gonna put that?"

"How many projects do you need?"

"When are you gonna..
Finish the siding (actually just did that)
Paint the bathroom
Fix the porch
Etc...Etc...."

 

[BJones]

Mine always says more of a statement than a question. "Why is it when it is one of your things it gets done right away and when it is something around the house that I need done you drag your feet?"

 

[Guest]

Well I found a way to stop her complaining about the car (for a few days). In an unguarded moment I made the mistake of telling her how much the new tvs *really* cost.

Now of course when they are installed and she sees them she'll stop bitching, but until then - ooh boy am I in trouble...

 

[artpart]

Jill's top questions:

1. How do I get THAT stain out?

2. Where's the support group for the wives?

3. Can we sell them (the cars) yet?

4. When are you going to let me see the receipts?

5. Why didn't you tell me you bought ...
