I guess I shouldn't complain, I did buy the camaro without really consulting with her. I mean, we talked about it and looked at them and what not but when it came down to it, I got off work one day, went to the dealer and left with a camaro.
I just wanted to vent my frustrations about wanting to mod my camaro and catching grief about it from the wife with other C5 members.

but when she buys an $80 purse and a $75 pair of shoes every other week, that adds up reeeaaal quick, and THAT is what needs to be explained to her. Just had an idea here too: just start taking $100 and setting it aside everytime she buys a purse/shoes till you have the money saved up for your parts, since she doesn't seem to think that is a big deal
