Wife is pissed

I won't pretend to know how women think. I know it isn't the same way I think and that is enough. I have come up with a little mind game I play on her and I get what I want. Here is the story of how I got to build my blower engine with no arguements from the lady that can squeeze a dime out of a penny.

A couple of years ago we were sitting around the campfire. We were talking about building a second car, (not my true goal). I was asking her what she would like to have for a car and questions like that. Then came her big question. How much is it going to cost to build this car. I inflated the cost a little with the thought that she would want it to drive like a new car. She didn't like the cost very much as it was in the $20,000 range plus all my time. So things were silent for a couple of minutes, then I hit her with the blower engine idea. You see, she likes all the attention she gets when we are cruising around and a blower will increase that a lot. We tossed the idea around for a few minutes and then that question came again, HOW MUCH? I low balled it a little and told her 6 to 7 thousand. There was silence again for a few minutes. She broke the silence and said, "build the blower engine", it more within my price range. So, I got what I wanted in the first place and she figures she saved about $13,000 in costs.

A little psychology can go along ways in getting what you want with no arguements. LOL
