Let's say you have a nice car. It's yours, not your wifes per se'... but you both share the bills, so it's hers too I suppose.

And... let's say you go to the track one night. And let's say you had gobs of fun until the car broke.

And, let's say the wife is not gonna be happy about you breaking the car at the track.

What excuse would you tell the wife?

Any takers?

Just come clean; can't be as bad as if she finds out later on down the road that you had lied to her !! Just my 2 cents...

Jen would not be happy, not because I broke it, but it broke and we need to get it fixed and that costs money. Money we are trying to save, money that isnt budgeted in that has to come from somewhere else...

Thats easy G, use the..oops. If she doesn't take the bait on the oops, then try the..my bad. If that doesn't work buy chocolates!

This doesn't have anything to do with a particular trans am does it?

Tell her you are installing a muffler filter and canooter valve.

Gilbert@Ace Racing

Bullshit! Jen would be pissed 'cause you were at the track without her!

I personally would tell her "**** happens, ill fix it, dont worry about it." She would be mad anyways but they get over theese things so it really isnt a biggie.

yet another reason why you never get a performance car together with your wife...

make that bish all yours that way if/when it breaks... its your car... and in no way, hers

Give her the truth. You broke a car at the track, she should be pissed. Don't give her a bigger reason to be mad.

Hell, I take HER car to the track and rag on it too.

You know my answer G. Be honest. I talked all my big performance purchases over with my wife. Not because I had to, but IMO it is a matter of respect. I'd expect no less from her. Plus I don't want to be a eunoch.

As far as breakage, IMO whether it happens on the track or on the road doesn't matter since this hypothetical car is driven hard in both situations and by both drivers. Plus what if this hypothetical wife ruined the O2's and plugs by being cheap on fuel? Maybe this hypothetical breakage is a result of running lean and hot from said hypothetical O2 malfuntion.

Just throwing it out there.

FACT: Racecars break occasionally, and therefore, cost money.

If one cannot accept this fact, one must go dyno-racing instead.

Well if you make up a story or try to smooth it over to her your going to be spending money on her and the car which could get pricey!
