    So I am reading y'all's posts and giggling like a little school girl. My wife walks by and asked, "What's so funny?" as she looked over my shoulder ... busted .... :D

    I said, "Let's go for a ride."

    As we are driving I look over and she is eyeballing me ... "I was waiting for you to mention this."

    She's a good girl ... bright too.

    We should start a thread, what mods have you purchased that your spouse hasn't noticed?

    Have any of you ever asked your spouse/significant other what they thought about a certain mod and just got a crazy look back or no interested response at all?

    I just say "Nevermind..." Lol.

    So I just installed a leather TRD shift-knob in my truck, wife didn't even notice and that's good. I think the shift knob was $70 which is normal if you've ever paid for a quality shift knob.

    My wife however would blow a head gasket, at the thought of paying $70 for a part like that lol. I keep a seperate slush-fund for mods and generally screwing off.
