Fiance "When are you going to sell one of your xj's?"
Me "Probably never cause after i finish building my 99 I'm gonna want to build the 94"
Fiance "Well then what about your firebird?"
Me "Thats my muscle car project sweetheart."
Fiance "Well how many cars do you really need?"

"you spend to much money on your jeep when you gonna save up and get something more practical?"
This just irritates me. Then I get " you need to stop buying tools. You need to save your money."
You know how difficult it is not to buy tools when your tools make you your money everyday? I'm a newer technician it's kinda hard not to spend money on tools that help your paycheck every week.

Then he starts saying I cant do a burnout right, so I did a brake stand, left two black marks about 15 feet long. He asked why it slid sideways. I just said "because its not a POS Chevy with an open differential, it doesn't just one wheel peel"
