Playing around with some decals I plan on using on my 911 outlaw. Wifey says no way on the GTS

Maybe you should get a beat-up VW bus for those decals. That way you can get it out of your system, and not ruin a perfectly good 911.

Like Bob Newhart once said, "Is this one of the guys in the office trying to fun us"?

I can sense you want to break out

Long answer

(1) get one bottle of Jagermeister
(2) get one case of your favourite german beer
(3) get a 1l stein
(4) get a shot glass
(5) get your transfers and take them to your garage
(6) fill stein with beer
(7) fill shot gas with Jagermeister
(8) drop shot glass into stein - depth charge
(9) drink it as fast as you can
(10) rinse and repeat until the GTS with Jagermeister decals not only sounds good but might look good
(11) pilots check - one more depth charge
(12) apply decals to GTS - looks greaaaattt
(13) have a celebratory depth charge and admire your handy work
(14) at his point you're feeling like the jagermeister stag,you have done your decals - a few of them are straight, the glue was a masterstroke..
(15) feeling good have another jagermeister bomb - by this stage you're thinking that your handiwork has delivered a top end motorsport look that no one could resist
(16) you are certain you have a hit a home run - might as well go for two
(17) you know your wife is wondering what you've being doing in the garage, you know she'll conflate the jagermeister stag with you in full Le Mans Steve McQueen mode you know its going to be a great night
(18) introduce her to your handy work and ..................

(a) have a panic attack
(b) run
(c) reach for the flak jacket
(d) call Uber
(e) your son did it and you're trying to fix it
(f) you were knocked out by the man with one arm, hes fitted you up
(g) you're going to sell it to Singer because they won't know the difference and you'll buy his and hers matching GTS's in PTS colours of your choice with the proceeds of the sale of the GTS

Short answer

NO

Marriage is a relationship where one person is always right and the other person is the husband.
