For example, this is the way it goes around the house. I have a Bronco on order. It started as an Outer Banks with just the Shadow Black top when that came available. A couple months later I mentioned to her that since we were used to all the little do dads on the Jeep "did she think" (now remember guys, those little words are essential) we should go ahead and add the "LUX package". She said, well that's not a bad idea. Score one for the boy. A couple weeks later I said, "you know, we should add the tow package for the bike rack and be done with that". That's a good idea she says. Score another one for the boy. A couple days ago I went with visual cues. I showed her a picture of the leather interior for the truck and made the passing remake "The leather package comes with power seats. We may should think about that to make sure you can see out of the thing (she's a towering 5'2"). Now it's beginning to get dicey. She paused a moment, and said with just a touch of distain in her voice "Well why not. The thing going to cost a ton anyway. Just go ahead and get the leather". Score a victory that almost caused the boy bodily injury. At this point I think it best for me to just let that bear lay, and not poke at it anymore. :oops:

Shhhhhhh, keep that under your hat for now bud. By the time that thing shows up she may have forgotten all the other crap I put her through. Then I can slip the wheels in right under her nose. But, just in case there is a problem, keep a room ready for me. She'll probably kick my big ol' dumb butt all the way to Arizona. :crazy:

I have a special wife who always closes the door by the black trim and not the paint...just my car/truck...her own ride is another story :rolleyes: ?

There's always room for you here brother. As far as her forgetting about all the other stuff, haha women have a memory like an elephant! They remember stuff we did from the first day we met them. ? One plus though it's a much shorter trip out here from IA than it is from Dixie.?
