Re: Grounded by the wife.
My g/f gave me the 2 car garage as my man cave. I ground myself. cause it takes money away from the volkswagen build. (which could of been done a long time ago cash wise) but those damn good deals and parts at discount come up that you are afraid wont happen again cause parts are 20+ years old.

Since more cars are gettign to almost roller status, needed to clear room for more boxes of stuff and more builds. do what i can on things as i search or see what else i need since so many builds going on. easier to make lists, especially when sitting there and just want to wrench to wrench. (my anti drug)

Re: Grounded by the wife.
If it gets delivered on Monday or Wednesday she never knows about it because I get home before her, the problem is the rest of the week she gets home before me. She never has grounded me but has laid a good guilt trip on me at times. Its never stopped me but it does slow me down from time to time.

Guess I should have added a disclaimer NOT to Google image search that unless you want to be scarred for life (it's similar to farmer's RC-10 pic, but worse. Much worse. Much, much worse.).R Cane wrote:ewww

Re: Grounded by the wife.
I told the wife I had just one more order to make this week and I got the look.
She knows she's losing an uphill battle. Gotta love her.

Re: Grounded by the wife.
haha, yeah, I haven't been there all that much either. My thirdgen projects pretty much stalled after I got the IROC motor swapped into the GTA and promptly ruined my brand new Vortec heads by overheating the car the 3rd time I drove it. I've had a Grand Cherokee apart in my garage (next to my IROC which is still apart) for a year now, so the GTA sits in my carport.jwscab wrote:Hey Jim, I just noticed your handle, another thirdgen guy!!

Re: Grounded by the wife.
ugh overheated, that sucks. I haven't been on much since I got the iroc running, and then got the GTO. Iroc runs but leaky t-tops keeps it inside most of the time.
sorry for the derailment of the thread. If I don't ground myself AND the wife, we would be flat broke.![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
