Rob,

Watch for tell-tale signs, clues and various well placed words:

(1) FINE: this is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) FIVE MINUTES: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five Minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) NOTHING: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) GO AHEAD: This is a dare, not permission. DON'T DO IT!

(5) LOUD SIGH: This is actually not a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) THAT'S OKAY: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistakes.

(7) THANKS: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says "THANKS A LOT" - that is pure sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say "You're welcome" ... that will bring on a "whatever")

(8) WHATEVER: Is a woman's way of saying Screw You!

(9) DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, I GOT IT: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's Wrong?"

If I read this right She bought the parts car.
Parts are hers.
What ever is left over you might could use if she has no other need for them.

MY HUBBY WINS!!!!

This was a great thread! And yes Gint, the entertainment factor was hilarious! But my hubby just took me on a great weekend get-a-way, and he was just amazing. I know how much his turbo means to him, and since I am still bonding with my creamsicle, I have conceded. I want him to have the best 2008 ever! And that means having his turbo completed and ready by Christmas.

All of you gave some great comments. Look for my thread next year on my LE restoration!

Mrs 914rrr,
Just curious if you would be willing to give a class to all the other 914 owners wives (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . Maybe a 12 step program or something (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

And here I was going to play the deveil's advocate. Since she is your wife, I was going to say, go ahead and rob the parts you need to make your car really nice. Then just don't mention it to her.










Now when she wants a divorce, just make sure my contact info falls out of your stuff on your way out the door. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

That is funny! I just asked Rob yesterday if I can drive the turbo when he gets it completed. He said "Yes".
Of course, the "Yes" will probably come with a list of do's and don'ts. I tend to like to race vettes, and I think he is worried about that.
