Congrats on the marriage, 2ed time for me, June 18, will be 22 years, been together since 81. Told my wife the first night we meet on a blind bate ( her sister set us up ) my cars come first you come second.  :smilingly:. I have since found over the years that it is a trade off. If I buy something major then she gets something in return. She never has told me no if I wanted something for the cars or shop. Going tomorrow to pick up a Track Pack Dana, although she did give me a little crap about the price, she is getting a deck around the pool. Which is going to cost a lot more, better find something I need to make up the price difference. . So if your soon to be wife is cool about your car hobby that's great, she sounds like a keeper, a man can always have worst hobbies you know. Hope you have a long & happy life together.  .

 Well yesterday was the big day. Everything went very well and my wife was thrilled about the way the wedding went. Been busy today running around getting a few things, we leave for Vegas in the morning. We opened up our wedding cards and we did pretty good money wise. I told her today that I could order some parts for the charger, she told me not to push my luck save it for Vegas!!

If you save it for Vegas..yer gonna lose it all down there..at least buy Charger parts and you will have something to show for it.

 Believe me I wish I could order me some parts but I  made a deal with my wife when I went to buy the 70 RT. I told he if she gave me no grief about buying the car I would take her to Vegas for our honeymoon and she could go to the shows and gamble. She loves vegas so I made good on my part of the deal. lol maybe I will win a little bit and be able to buy some parts when I get home!!

The only thing my EX wife understood about me was my 70 Charger. Your wife ACCEPTS your "hobby" and that is priceless! Take her out to dinner and a show! 

My wife never had a problem with me and cars. She said it was because I am not in a bar or chasing a skirt and I usually am within earshot so its a trade off.

Way to go!  Hope you have a great time in Vegas.  Am married for the 3rd time.  Meet my wife on line, she was in LA and me in Seattle.  We talked everynight and I always told her about the bird (a Mopar guy since 1968).  One night she said she was not jealous of the bird and I told here that was great because if she did not like talking about the cars she would not like the life style.  We have been HAPPLY married for 7 years now and she is a keeper.  I always enjoyed the ride, but it was her that said she wanted more bling.  Really is great when the wife understand your addiction.

Hey congrats on the wedding Memphis Mopar, she sounds like a good catch. My girl likes my car and the previous cars, we've been together 15 years and married for 9 . Enjoy your honeymoon and your cars when you get back 

[Memphis Mopar]

Back from the honeymoon in Vegas!!! Had a blast and did not lose much money. My wife on the other hand brought home an extra 2 grand that she won. I was thinking she would throw me a few bucks but she has other plans for the money she won.

Congrats on your new marriage !!   It is hard to find women who truely understand the car hobby.I am lucky enough to have a lady who puts up with my obsession  .
It is always a trade off that will save the day and give you the slack you need to enjoy the Chargers.
Nice 70's by the way !!

And so begins lesson number one in Marriage 101. 

[Memphis Mopar]

Yes I am learning the marriage 101 class and I am trying to get straight A's. My first marriage ended badly and I want to do everything I can to make this one very successful and stay happy. Yes I have a very nice catch. She is a good woman and a great cook. Comes from a very nice southern family and she is a RN.

[Ghoste]

She looks happy in the pic there so that is always a good start.

[chargergirl]

Ya'll look adorable. Since you spent your money prior to the honeymoon this stash is hers.

[Memphis Mopar]

Chargergirl thank you.. LOL yes the money she won is hers. In the end I still think I came out ahead. Very nice 70 RT project and all I had to do was take her to Vegas. I am not much of a gambler. She loves to play the slots, blackjack and roulette (sp). I had a lot of fun learning how to play craps.
