you guys ever hide a car from wife?

Yeah you're going to have to come clean real soon...there's now way you are going to hide the crated up chassis!

My God Father had property and always was hiding project cars in the trees as well as at friends houses. When he passed one, his wife found out about most of them...I think his friends kept some stuff knowing she had no idea what all he owned....

Do you have room in your shop for the car?

My wife was starting to get frustrated by my spending habits with the car, till I bought her a brand new S60 Volvo. Now she doesn't care what I spend. Bribery works. Plus you should not have to lie, she will find out soon enough. Better you tell her then for her to find out on her own.

Cant hide a car but i collect old porcelain signs and sometime they can be real pricy. So i "cool" them for a while and then put on the wall...

yeah i do have room the garage fits 4 cars and i have an enclosed trailer too that works for the nomad since it is a larger car , but i had the camaro home for 8 days when i first got it and she once asked 2 days after car came home "what is in the car trailer ? i may want to pick up some furniture " well lets say i dodged a bullet we never needed the trailer so after that i got the cat to my friends house .

my wife is involved with the cars , she does the polishing and small stuff to help , the reason i went a got the car with out asking was i just wanted it here and ill take the black eye soon and she will get over it . if i asked and she said no then bought the car i can see a kick in the balls and damage to our marrage ...

oh yeah paypal works wonders for spending cash .....so much i talked anvill into adding paypal on there site ......then they thanked me for it later .

I used to hide them or just buy them and bring them home. She gets all pissed and complains for awhile, but I have a selective hearing disorder and don't really remember her complaints. Something about I spend more on cars than her, I said yeah but there worth more.....

Paypal is nice...I just hate paying the fees....it adds up quick on the larger deals.

come clean...lying to her about something as stupid as a car wont help anything...definately wont be good for the marriage...

Do like I tell my boys when they want another toy, you have get rid of one to get another.. Not good advise, but might work for a while. Sorry, I would let you have my dog house, but I'm still in it from the Dart. You can't hide the TV...lol

He seems to be able to have all the toys he wants.. If she tells you to sell some of your cars...can I have dibs on the bird?

I think we can safely assume that if he gave her V.D. she wouldn't be too happy at all...........oh wait, just re-read your post
Back on-topic, I've been contemplating how to get a sedan-delivery under my wifes nose for a while now. No chance!
One tack may be to come home all excited about the car you got GIVEN as xxxxx couldn't do anything with it.

mine usually finds out when she comes into the garage and finds something that wasnt there before.
