Seriously, in retrospect, the only two mods that I discussed first with my spouse were the Ford Performance Leveling Kit and the FP Power Pack Tune because they involved what for us is significant money. Smaller stuff I just go ahead and put on, and she either does not notice or does not care.

Congratulations! We are past thirty years married (and definitely more than three eye rolls)!
Hit 40 years married shortly after her cardiac arrest last August and a lot of things don't matter anymore(life is short) so that is when I got the tunes.

Nope. She decides what's for dinner, I decide what-do regarding my motorized toys.

She's always spot on with dinner.... and she seems to like my taste in motoring related things.. it works out! ?

Mine is another state now, 32 years and lots of water under the dam. My new girl is Natasha. Never talks back or gives an eye roll and drives like a dream! Just like the wife, the more accessories the better! ?

Plus with Natasha you can just put her in the garage for the night and she won't complain. :lipssealed::shock::bandit:

Edit: I really hope you named your truck Natasha. ?

Just for the record I did! Even changed the Nav voice to reflect that! Additionally, my pellet stove that’s going on 20 years now is named Ashley. She’s always a hot mess ?

Mine doesn't influence my decisions on mods, but after 43 years I've found that she has a much better eye on what looks good, and what doesn't. So I defer to her with several options I like, and we then talk it over on which is best i.e. color, design, etc. When it comes to unseen stuff....that's when I'm apt to get the dreaded "eye roll". :) But she never says "no" on those. She's a damn good woman in my book.

For sure.

Things like that either bring you together or tear you apart.

Our mentality as a couple changed very much after my wife's major medical issues a half decade ago. She's mostly all good now, hope all is well with you and yours.

She was doing good until her defibrillator shocked her last week, so now back to square one with the fear of her heart stopping. o_O
