"Honey, I want the Flex"

I was going to say it sounds like its time to sell the wife for the new toy but i think some of the other suggestions here are pretty decent.



lol.

Ask her if she'd rather fight the mall and get some stupid tie that you'll never wear? Then, point out the exercise you get from buffing a car.

It's hard to be at all secretive about spending money on your hobby when just about every purchase you make is delivered by UPS.

Easy fix!! Have it delivered to your job, and then sneek it in the house. Works like a charm until she goes into the garage and sees a "retail setup" of all the different products.
 
My wife probably would not object to me getting a Flex, but that gives her leverage to spend money on Power Tools. Yes, I admit that she's the one in the family that's into the electric saws and things! My argument is that you can't lose a finger with a buffer!
 
I'm blessed - my wife was going to buy me a Flex for Christmas, just asked how to order it and was standing here - right beside me with VISA CARD in hand, and I said no........I decided to just practice up and get better with my Makita. I told her she could get me some 3M stuff. She's going to just give me cash and let me pick out what I want.

Sell the wife? No way mine is only a 1984 model.

We have a total honesty policy. Neither of us is allowed to spend over $50 at anytime unless we consult with each other. We have spending limits on birthdays ($200) and Xmas ($500) but otherwise its just about communication/

Cool. Just a different philosophy, I guess. :up
 
I figured if she asks me why $300 went to a company called Autogeek, I'll just tell her I had to put brakes on my car, hopefully she won't notice that they are out of state. Plus I left a note for the UPS man to "please leave box behind the big sycamore tree", just in case.

Now that is what I am talking about!!!! Good luck in not getting caught. Be cool:cool:
 
Im not married so im not sure if this will work. Tell your wife that this will make the car more aerodynamic and will increase fuel economy. Might work, its a long shot, but it could be possible.

My technique is to confuse & bore her with all the details. For instance…after she says, “you already have oneâ€�, which is exactly what my wife said…then I jump into the differences and details. ie. Amps, orbital throw length, forced rotation, the ability to correct and burnish to perfection in the same step, etc, etc, etc…



I always make sure you use a bunch of “detailing lingoâ€�…that just bores the heck out of her, plus she has no clue what half the stuff I’m saying means. Eventually she’s just so worn down by my excitement and refusal to stop talking about it, that she gives in.



And as always…delivery and timing is everything.



Plan B is just buy it…and face the wrath later :angry. Yeh, it’s hell for a week or two, but eventually passes. Plus you could hide out in the garage with your new polisher. ;)
