This reminds me of a guy I used to work with who played video games when he was younger. He knew I played them from time to time and one day we got talking because he was interested getting a console for both him and his son.
A few days later I bumped into him and asked if he had made a decision and his response was "Yeah but my wife won't let me get one."

but my wife won't let me get one
One of the main reasons I don't wanna get married. My money is mine, not ours. I spend it however I damn well want.

I cannot tell you the number of times coworkers have told me the "wife won't let me" excuse for everything out there.
I was getting a motorcycle. Suddenly several coworkers tell me about all the fun they had with theirs when they were younger. I think "sweet, let's go on a ride this weekend!" And here it comes "oh, I don't have mine anymore. My wife made me sell it. Too dangerous."
I got into racing and picked up my first fun car. Coworkers are excited to talk fun cars. Everyone used to have that awesome ride! A Porsche 911. A Nissan 300ZX. A Mustang. A BMW M3. All gone because family and kids now. I have 4 cars, what gives, they could not have picked up a family car and just kept the fun one for themselves for driving to work and enjoying on weekends? Well, of course not! Wife can't let them have fun without her!
Gaming? "Ah, yeah, I did before I got married."
And then, inevitably come the "so, when are you getting married, man? You got yourself a girl?"
Ah, no thanks. I got myself a life.

It's not just about fun. It's about selling all of HIS toys so that they'll have extra money for her to spend on HER crap.

I got 3 awesome computers from a guy because his wife said she 'needed the space'

I got stargate atlantis the complete series and stargate Universe the complete series, plus stargate Ark of Truth for 40 bucks form a man who clearly enjoyed the series but had to get rid of it cause his wife forced him to. Sucks for him. Great for me.

What did you get? I'm planning on picking up an S2000 next year after I get into a house this year. Gotta have a garage for the toys!
[–]TheRiseAndFall2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I actually got a 300ZX myself. I am keeping it mostly stock for now, but I know guys who have theirs tuned to over 400whp. You got to get the twin turbo though. The NA is limited in power increase. This thing can make Corvette owners sad at dyno day.
The S2000 is a great car. I know a couple of guys who run them at autocrosses and I love the way it drives.
I picked up a NA Miata recently as well and I want to put the Flying Miata turbo kit on it. I love the way it can take a corner, but the get up and go just is not there.

My friend had a turbo 300ZX in college. That was a fun car. I personally found the HICAS to be annoying, but he loved it. I have been wanting a Miata for a while. Cheap, easy to work on and reliable. I've driven a few over the years and discovered I couldn't deal with the lack of power though, and power adders mess with the classing. I think an S2000 would be a good level for beginner HPDE driving, as well as being able to fit into some decent classes if and/or when I get into wheel to wheel/ TT racing. Planning to do brakes, GOOD coilovers, cooling mods (live in AZ) and oiling reliability mods in addition to the basic safety gear and having fun with it.I've had a lot of time to think about this recently. lol.

"I couldn't deal with the lack of power through"
I'm assuming you're talking about the Miata and if so you should look up "monster Miata" where this company can drop a V8 in your Miata or they send you a kit and you do it yourself
[–]TheRiseAndFall2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Racing classes is a whole other thing. I currently run the Miata stock in ES, but I was thinking of getting a 944 or an MR2 to continue autocrossing it.
For real racing, I am looking at a 350Z or a Boss 302. I am working toward an SCCA license right now, so I have time to choose.

Hey man I've owned a 2005 AP2 S2000 for six years and it is the BEST DECISION I have ever made. Still amazing every time I get behind the wheel. I guarantee you won't regret getting one!

"We need to get you a girl!" Uh. No.
this has always been my issue with marriage. I don't mind sharing money. i don't mind buying gifts, I make ok money and i'm not selfish, i'll totally be a good husband and share and have a family and share my money, but that is NOT marriage, marriage is oh, you work 90% of all the hard work and give me and child 90% of your earnings and profits. it always starts oh i'll split a meal here and there, oh i'll buy the movie tickets this time, then the romance fades and its, why aren't you giving me everything that's in your bank account.

To be fair when I was married the wife didn't decide any such thing and if she had a headache I slapped her with my cock until it went away.
I may have lacked knowledge of the court system, but I wasn't a cuck.

She's supposed to be his wife not his slave master.
Culture disagrees. Courts disagree.

I am on several musical instrument subs. One of the most annoying things is when someone posts 'my wife finally allowed me to buy this guitar/bass/drum/whatever'. Even when I was married, I bought whatever the fuck I wanted. I have about 50 guitars and basses, several keyboards, and a full goddam drum kit. She didn't work, I paid for everything. Fuck asking permission.

ya, i have a friend who just got engaged, bit pot smoker, he said he can still smoke on weekends with his bros....that's what his fiance allows. lol.

I loved shitting on ultimatums when I was dating. I know my finances, I know when buying something isn't going to fuck with my budget. So I'll be damned if I'd let a woman tell me I can't go do "xyz". Usually their reasons are strictly selfish. She either doesn't want you spending your money cause it's less for her to go shopping on that month, or it's something that will divert your time away from her.
I think I've ever only see one instance where the wife had a point when she said her guy couldn't do something. The guy wanted to get into a car loan when they had a decent car to get around in already and they were 20k+ in debt.

Now I'm curious about wives and motorcycles.
Wives are handy for polishing motorcycles.

Next show a scene with him gray haired, bald and jowly, stuck behind a desk processing accounts receivable, while his cupcake sits at home browsing through swatches tinder to redecorate the living room for Chads to fuck for the tenth ninetieth time.

Rewatched falling dawn not long ago. The life of the main cop is so much like that.

I hate this kind of shit.
It should be men trying to drag women away from their fucking phones.

When you get married, you don't just gain yourself a wife, you got yourself a new boss that you pay for.

Here's the PC I had built for me in 2014. The guy is a hobbiest and I found him in Ottawa. He even took apart the fans and air brushed them

Wow that is a beauty. Thats a work of art my friend, hope you are cleaning it every six months at least dont let it get too dusty. that build looks fantastic im jealous.
I build as a hobby as well but stick to stock parts and mess around with cable management xD great stuff!
[–]Marque011 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Thanks bud :) I appreciate the compliment. I paid $800 CDN for it and it's worth every penny. When I bought it, it was pretty much top of the line. I suppose I could have held out for an I7 but it's been able to play all the games I ever wanted loaded :) My best friend's kid got a $1000 one built for him from the same guy, and he gave him a Thermotake case ( https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/55/dd/f6/55ddf6df4de2aa81f410ddb37ac05acc.jpg ) That machine is a freakin monster!

I got a great snowboard, boots, bindings, bag, everything only used once for less than $300 AU because wifey dragged this guy away from his recreation.
Let them do it, clears up the slopes for me.
As a side note, I would probably divorce immediately if she was dragging me away one second after winning a PUBattlegrounds game. That's a 100 player free-for-all and I want to save my screen caps.
