Do what she says, or it could end up costing you a lot of money. She will think you like spending time here more than being with her... Read posts when she goes out shopping,

I think Pablo's wife should voice an opinion on this matter.

Pablo? My wife got over it years ago.

If you have trouble with one, two won't make your life better.

However, scoring a deal on a nice synthetic and DIY oil changes give you more $$ to spend on the aforementioned wife.

Wife: "and that's when I killed him, officer"

My wife tells me to wash my hands and clean the oil off the keyboard after the BITOG visit.

I've got 28 jugs and 12 quarts in one corner of the kitchen, and taking most of the space under the kitchen table. I guess I like looking at them while I eat ).
My wife hasn't thrown them out yet... I guess I'm lucky. I'll give her a kiss and start thinking of a place to move at least some of it

Between the Harley forum the Mustang forum and here my Wife says all she ever sees is the back of my head. Perfect! She is busy designing her own website so she doesn't really care.

The wife just came out to the living room to give me the glare as I was reading this thread at 1:40 AM. I gave her the normal dumb look and answered "what???". She said "really?". I laughed and said "mind your business, im learning stuff." If she cant handle it, i will use option 2 and find a new gf. lord knows i put up with her stuff that i dont understand or feel is a waste of time and life

 

[CharBaby]

Yeah, and because of sites like BITOG and other sites, I am the go to guy! Even amongst my car buddys' I'm the guy that gets the most calls for information about anything car related.

No, I'm not a know it all! I often need to look to you kind folks for information. I just know where to go to find the information.

And oil? Pfffff; well, what can I say!

I don't think my wife has caught onto my "sickness" yet She did however start questioning my sanity before I even found this sight

 

[Nodak]

I am basically a newly minted member of the BITOG family and Oh what a feeling!!! the things you see and the things you learn makes a persons heart go all a flutter--Definetly hooked!!! My wife knows I love golf, basketball, and other outdoor activities and now she has to put up with this; but that's OK she doesn't mind 'cause I'm out of her way--Ha!!!

Your wife is right.

Well that is a bit weird but understandable if you don't have a storage locker, basement or garage.

The only thing I find wrong with you is that you have a bad habit of using a coma in place of an apostrophe.

 

[SLCraig]

This site is a lot more than just motor oil. It is full of good people, and other good knowledge and conversation too.
That is why I spend time here. It's really not the oil aspect. Every thread is always summed up with "Just use what's on sale" so how much discussion is really relevant anyways when it comes to oils?

hehe

 

[HM12460]

Women come and go. They always do. BITOG will be here forever. Get your priorities straight!

Not long ago my wife of 46 years opened the freezer and behold, 1 qt of 0-20AFE and 1 qt of M1 5-30! She said what's this! I said oil, of course! She just turned around and shook her head and muttered something about BITOG. Remember I'm the same guy that has rebuilt carbs on the kitchen table.
