ya i was like well if she thinks it childish lets see if i can piss you off wit it and rub it in your face but i have a dilemma now my best firned is going out with her..but like all my other friends rr tottally supporting my last girlfriend who moved was like thats so awesome....but really...RC as a hobby doesnt get as many chicks as telling em you can cook..which in fact i can...thats where the girls r at...i can see half of you single guys going and grabbing a cookbook this second...but most of them wanna drive em and its one of those do i make em sing a waiver...if it was a guy friend of mine i would be like sing here...but theyre girls and hopefully thet dont mess it up too bad so...its one of those ima just look the other way while you do this..either that or let em ddrive my 1/18th's cuz those things parts r really cheap for and i dont care about as much...

i was going to sell my trucks when i found out my wife is pregnant, but my wife wouldn't let me, she's pretty cool with it as long as i dont spend all my time wrenching.

[Jeepguy]

She really doesn't mind :confused: (as long as im not out drinking or doing something stupid she's happy)
Best of all, she supports it! She bought me my Mini LST for my Birthday.

man we really need the "she hates it catagory"! she will purposly make plans and leave the kid with me (shes 1) just so i cant wrench and figure out what else to buy. She will let the kid in my closet because she thinks it cute to pull the cars off a shelf and then procede to stand on it! what would you all do if you turn the corner and see your brand new waiting to be installed 20" lcd about to come off the shelf in the hands of your 1 yr old!!! man I dove like it was the last pop up in a world series! lol then again she dosent understand any tech type stuff at all. so when im fixing a car, rc, dishwasher, tv, flooring/homerepair.... I get the cold shoulder or death stare untill it does something good for her. although when it does do something good for her she does very good things to me!!!!

Just be patient, Rusty. You have the little one to corrupt! Start by getting an old body and trimming it down so that there are no sharp edges, then encourage her to paint it herself with a brush! Then run it! She will love it. Goto Radio shack and get a zip zap to run around while she chases it - more fun! Soon your little girl will love the hobby as much as you and then you will be Two against One! The wife will either get over it or marinate in her own frustration.

Mine knew better from the start. At least I got rid of my sailboat and I don't play golf! Talk about something wives hate! Threaten to take up golf! You will buy $1000s in clubs and crap and be gone ALL DAY every weekend. HA!

[rusty savage]

i like your thinkin mike!

Lately I get 4 hours once a month to work on my cars, and when I do (she's at work) I get the "When the cat's away the mice will play" speech.

I need to find a nice quite job where I can spend my lunch hours working on my stuff. I wonder if Al's or Leisure Hobbies is hiring....hmm?

[Ponch]

Dave, LH is hiring, seriously. lol...

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

I may have to give them a call.....

[kevinF]

lol

my wife totally hates it, but she tollerates a certain level of it, and she lets me have rc time as long as familly time comes first which is how it should be, i have almost been married a whole year and im still kinda used to buying whatever i want without consulting anyone, but im getting better, i would say i will buy whatever i want i dont care what she says but....... i like sex better than rc cars

[rusty savage]

i like your thinking too joey! lol

[salsaking]

mine loves to drive her T-Maxx and her newly aquired X-Ray M18MT (which used to be mine of course). I love painting bodies with her and she can drive it pretty well for it being her first R/C nonetheless her first NITRO.

You just gotta hit and then quit it

ahhh i got that outa my system 5 years in germany and various countries, when you come close to dieing enough times you start to think about stuff like kids and wife and stuff so i decided when i was downrange if i made it back i would finally settle down and start a familly and i have to say i have a great wife and son and wouldnt trade them for anything now i just have to finish up my time and become a civilian again im really looking forward to the day when i can wake up and say " damn its nice not to have to go to any formations or anything for the rest of my life " Hopefully i can get a good job when i get out, my wife has her masters degree so maybe i can get a job as a worm farmer and sell fishing bait while she has a kickass job or something lol who knows and if anybody is looking to go somewhere in europe for a vaction i highly recomend Sofia Bulgaria the country is full of basically untouched historical sites and tourist locations including the beaches along the black sea and in sofia there are clubs that are right outa the movies
