Busted
I thought it would be fun to share stories of when you were busted for buying car parts or when you busted someone else.
Here's mine.
My husband bought a Mustang several years ago. (I know...no Mustang jabs, please). I wasn't on board because we had domesticated ourselves to sedans and SUVs. Whenever we own any kind of sports cars (i.e. Mustangs or Camaros), our bank account mysteriously disappears. Well, my husband was scoping this car out for several days online and kept telling me about the great deal it apparently was. I didn't want to tell him what to do because I wanted him to make a responsible adult decision....
To make a long story short, he kept on and on until I finally said, "Go ahead and buy the d*mn thing, but you better not do anything to it!" The obvious tone of my voice should have said that I really didn't want him to purchase the car. The next thing I know he is purchasing a one way ticket to Houston to pick it up. Apparently, it doesn't matter how mad you are when you give permission. The only thing that matters is the actual permission.
When he got back, of course, he started doing things to it. A new radio, new speakers, the very expensive wires to run to the amps, etc. I tried to ignore all this hoping that a sound system would be all that would happen.
I was so wrong. I took his Suburban to the grocery store because it was blocking my Intrepid in the drive. I made an interesting discovery as I loaded the groceries in the back hatch.
When I got home, the garage door was open, and my husband was knee deep into some wiring. I looked at him and said, "Why don't you give me a hand with the groceries and shocks and struts that are in the back of the car." The look on his face was textbook for "BUSTED." Apparently, he had ordered an entire new suspension for the car and was hiding it in the back of the Suburban where he thought I would never look.
