You guys are doing it all wrong. You have to scam it the right way. You hide the engine at a friends place. then you buy her something she really wants within reason. Wait about a week, then drag home your new "good deal". It always works for me.
Lol… I’m not a great scammer with her. I have parts show up multiple times a week… usually little boxes… this is what I was told last week when asking for more parts off this donor dart…. Haha. My wife will kill me if it happens. But I’ll gladly put a tarp over it in my driveway until I get a shop
I don’t get mad at my wife for her shopping though.
