I've always marched to the beat of my own drum and buy what I what, when I want, and whatever I want. Even if I were married, I'd still roll that way. Probably explains why Im not married, never been married, nor do I plan on marrying.

Me too - my wife complains I am impossible to buy for because if I want something, I just go get it.
We agreed upon a "no buying zone" from October 1 onwards so, if I see something in a flyer etc, I am not supposed to just go get it, I give her the circled flyer and I get it as a "surprise" on Christmas morning.
Too bad it does not go both ways when she showed up with some new jewellery last week.....

Well, I think most of us buy what we want, otherwise we would not have our 993s (964s/931/toys...).
I think what E_T was trying to say is that when he gets asked what he wants for christmas and his honest answer is Tuning chip/tools/car parts/steering wheel, his better half does not recognise that as a valid gift.
Am I right E_T ?

I'm lucky. I fold over page corners and circle items in the Griots catalog. Same with ads in Pano or Excellence. I leave email quotes from Sunset up on the computer screen.Then good stuff appears on my birthday, under the tree, and in my xmas stocking. They come from my two year old son, my mother-in-law, and my wife. I think it works great for everyone.
Should I send you a dogeared Excellence JoAnne?

yearseses ago in our courting stages, I got all sorts of gaskets and trim bits and this and that for my TR3 resto from what's her face for bday / xmas
attagirl 8-)
nowadaze... it's socks and shirts and what not - necessitylike. I buy the crap I wants, she buys the crap she wants... and I buy her the crap she wants. Hey, wait a second...
Kidding aside (1/2 kidding)... jah mon... those requests are totally legitimate gift requests. Keep workin the angle, you'll persevere.
now...
WHAT 'tuning kit' is this??? Sign me up... 8-)
