"she hates everything about it" should have been the fourth option. My wife hates it because it takes up my time and money, double whammy!

how about another option.......a b*tch is a b*tch.

Does it really matter? Its my money, and if some trick tries to tell me different....oh well then. I mean seriously...am i smoking crack? Its r/c cars. My girl hates my Mustang too, and I dropped 20g's in it without flinching. She hates my other mustang, and i still bought it. If she dont like it, i'll find another that will.

I must be lucky. My wife doesn't mind my hobbies, none of which are cheap. R/C is still a fairly new one but expensive if you let it be. My Mustang takes the $$$ cake as there have been thousands put into it but she likes the car and even will get to take it for a spin (with me) on occasion. Fishing is another hobby where you think ahh all I need is a pole and some lures....NOT! Guitar playing is another one that can be cheap, but I don't do cheap...USA Jackson's, Gibson Les Pauls and a few others all start over a grand a piece add up pretty fast as well. The only thing she doesn't get about the R/C trucks is why I need more than one, although she is getting me a Revo for Xmas...or at least a Gift certificate from Tower towards one.

My wife hates it only for the reason that I HAVE to fix it when it breaks, and I have to have the BEST stuff for it. She even hates it more since I want to get another R/C, either a boat or heli. But she does stomach it as she does get her hair done and nails, most every other "GIRLIE" thing as well, so thats a little ammo in my defense.

Does anyone else's wife ask this:

Did you break anything? How much is that gonna Cost?

Every time i run or race she asked this, not did you have fun, did you win.

My Wife bought me both the T and Rustler. She doesnt mind one bit. I just have to give her a 4 days notice when I am going to bash so she can go shop. I have fun but this is not an insane hobby for me so I spend when I need. If it aint broken and it runs fast, why do anything? Shit who am I kidding just bought every Parma color, airbrush and a compressor. LOL


It Broke, I Freak

My girlfriend doesn't mind it she says it is my paycheck and I should be entitled to spend it. She has even come out on occasions and taken pictures. She has tried the TEX 4, but she is scared of breaking it. She has even tried gotten involved in helping me try and work on my cars. So I guess I am lucky that she at least show an interest.
