    Soo her trickery is working on you. Just watch out for the Ol' Switcheroo after she walks down the isle. I don't think mine has bought me anything car related since the wedding.

    Women marry men expecting that they can be changed and they can't.
    Men marry women expecting that they won't change and they do.

    When a woman says " I DO " is really only the first part.... the rest of it is "I Do.... NOT do any of those things you like so much any more"

    Scientific study has found a substance that drastically reduces a woman's labido. It's called wedding cake.

    To all the Ladies out there I am just kidding :cry: {kinda} but Seriously don't string me up just yet I am just kidding. Have been happily married since 1996. My wife is very tolerrant of my hobbies. She totally and completely doesn't understand what I see in old cars of guns or hunting and fishing but she is very tolerant of any of the hobbies I have had along the years

    What you do is tell the wife.....you say I'm gonna hunt,,fish and mess with my car...or I'm gonna bar hop!... now which do you want me to do? it worked for me hehehe
    Now on to something I can't get to work...this blasted tach, I hooked it up like it said and when I have the car running it (the needle pointer) jumps all around at all rpm ranges, I have rewired it and it still does it, I made sure I had good ground for the ground wire, I made sure I had good connection on the ignition wire and the coil wire also, they have all been done twice now....and it still jumps around.
    BTW this is not the same tach I had, that one had a spring on the button missing and was stuck in shift light set mode, sent it back...this is the new one they sent me, I really don't like the electrical gauges built into the 4 in 1 (more than likely won't use) but it is nice otherwise.
