Ok I swear this is the last thing I am buying for my GS this year! Hey guys did that sound sincere? I keep saying that to my fiancee and I will once again have to explain again tomorrow "how" when I told her last year that I was not going to buy anything else for the GS "so how did this box get here and what is a TEIN". Also is casually mentioning that I needed new rims the same thing as telling her that I bought new rims? 
The rims should be here soon as well. If no one hears from me again it means that I have been banned from hanging out with you mod addicts on Club Lexus.
She saw an e-mail that I sent to my brother about next weeks NELOC meet and said "I didn't know there was a Club Lexus Meet next weekend" which actually sounded a lot like "I don't remember you asking me if you could go to any Club Lexus Meet next weekend." Anyway I may very well be in trouble but she can't make me send the TEIN and rims back!
Speaking of the TEIN's are they pretty simple to operate anyone have any tips or stories about what NOT to do with them?

damn bro, fiancee or not, you need to not back yourself into such corner...you arent even married yet and youre talking like your more whipped than anyone ive ever met. permission to buy rims? permission to buy coilovers? permission to go to a damn MEET? are you serious? next youll be handwashing the dishes whiles shes out at the club because she doesnt like the way the dishwasher cleans the fine china. i hope this whole post was just a joke and youre not really worried about her getting angry at you...because if you are, you're SOL for the long run...banning you from CL for buying stuff for your gs with your own money??...i mean you are a grown man arent you? im assuming you provide atleast half the support for you two and your house, etc, and you dont get an allowance from her or live with your parents right? yeah im pretty sure your probably independent, so you need to stop worrying so much about what she thinks you should do with your money. if you can afford it you BUY WHAT YOU WANT, WHEN YOU WANT- i mean if theres a kid on the way and youre blowing savings that are set aside for other things or something of that nature, i could then totally understand her frustration for you being immature and irresponsible...but if thats not the case and all your expenses are in line as far as you're concerned, i think maybe you should be far less worried about those rims and suspension you just bought and try giving her a taste of her own medicine...maybe she needs to be told she needs a few less D&G dresses and only 15 different kinds of designer perfume instead of 30...maybe she should sell 10 of her 300 pairs of shoes off on ebay lol, to make some extra cash for the family as well.....sorry im comin off so strongly about this it just seriously sounds like youre scared to buy yourself nice stuff you deserve just because of your girl having too much of a say, and im sorry but that is just depressing to ever let anyone control you that much. you need to step back and ask yourself why she doesnt want you to spend the money, and whether or not its even reasonable- like i said, saving for a house? kid on the way? medical expenses? all reasonable and understanble examples if thats the case, but something tells me its not...im worried that shed like there to be more of YOUR money sitting around to buy HER stuff and well... "i aint sayin shes a golddigger, but she aint hangin with no broke..." lol- have some confidence bro we here at CL are behind you 100%
WOW is all I can say to that bit of unsolicited relationship advice.

I just sit there nodding like "yes dear" as I figure up in my head how much it would cost to do a 2JZ engine swap.

I should have known that anything more than a "lol" or a thumbup or a smiley face in response to your post would have been an issue. apparently nobodys allowed to say anything that actually has any meaning behind it without being told they call into talkshows every day! 
sorry for my comments bro, i take everything i said back. id delete my posts but they were quoted already so it would be impossible to kill them all so maybe a mod can take care of it.
take it easy

Believe me when I say I don't have a problem with what you said and am in no way trying to reflect anything bad onto you because you said it. That was your honest response to what I said and if I was really in that situation I probably would have to take a step back and say hey what is going on here. So I take full responsibility for the comments that I made that started all of this. But it's all good.
and im only trying to help BOTH of you out,
help out with what? Being single? lol, trust me, I respect your viewpoint because it's yours and I won't bother trying to point out an opposing viewpoint to everything you just wrote because it would get tooo "OPRISH" (yeah that's a new word) and get off-topicThe man is getting married to a woman he chose of his own free will so his happiness is decided by him and not open for debate or opinion. He's getting MARRIED, not going out with a girlfriend so her opinion does matter no matter how 'Cavenmanish' (yep, word #2) we want to come off as, we all make sacrifices in a relationship based on our partners wishes.
But to come off and question another man's manhood because he JOKINGLY let us know why he now has to explain to HIS fiance why he went back on his word
I keep saying that to my fiancee and I will once again have to explain again tomorrow "how" when I told her last year that I was not going to buy anything else for the GS
As you said:
any strong person that has any self respect for themself
You took his joke to another level and one that is entirely personal.

makes him less of a 'HE-MAN'
As you said:
Your self respect should also be deteremined by the amount of respect you command from others. Your word is the only thing people cannot take away from you so self-respect starts with living up to what you say you are going to do.
You took his joke to another level and one that is entirely personal.
