Phil,

I like the rope dangling in front. Is that so your wife can hang you when she finds out how much the project costs?

Evan: I was able to slip the winch/bumper/light bar projects by my wife without incident. However, my subsequent purchase of a Volvo TGB1312 6X6 radio Truck just cost me a trip to Europe!
Marrige is definitely a compromise!

...Oh Well!!!

No doubt I am trying to figure the compromise between adding a
duece and a half
a 6X volvo
or a 710

to the collection, OOOPS almost forgot or keeping the wife.

That's easy, don't have a wife in the first place then you can buy what you want!

.....Say's I with 2 Pinzgauers, 2 Haflingers etc, etc!

Mike: You know that you REALLY need all three additions! The beauty of military truck acquisitions/projects is that 99.9 out of 100 times he significant other doesn't have any accurate idea as to the $$$ involved.

Tip 1) Do not have a joint checking account!

Tip 2) Always discount your actual costs by at least 50-75%!

Tip 3) Decide if the truck(s)/projects give you more pleasure than your significant other.

Tip 4) Ask yourself why the Hell you ever got involved with the significant other and make a choice!

Tip 5) If none of these work, sell your truck(s) , buy a minivan and become a solid citizen!

In my experience, the relationship with the significant other will generally survive whemn we make "STUPID" decisions. Hoqwever, it will probably be a bit chilly between the sheets for a while!

Next I need to convince my wife that I really need an M119A 105MM Light Artillery Gun and a halftrack. HOpe my tips hold up to the challange!

Peter
I was already envious of you Pinz but the Haflingers really put me over the edge.

Phil
Tip 1 and 2) have my own business so no problem there
Tip 3) Trucks without a doubt especially considering 20+ years with sig other
Tip 4) I got involved with wife when I had a Jeep (I was young and dumb)
Tip 5) My minivan (Dodge Durango) is lifted and has larger tires and the Astro Van (hers) is AWD (not yet lifted)

I guess so far she has excused most of my "STUPID" decission so I keep her around and besides she likes the Pinz
