Tell her you always wanted one since you were a small boy thats its been a life long dream....or if that doesn't work you can always go the zombie doomsday route...
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Tell her it is better to have a deuce and not need it than to need a deuce and not have it.
It is amazing how many things you can do with one once you own it......they can be a life saver in bad weather and after a natural disaster.
If you live in a rural area it is an easier sell since there are not issues with neighbors and codes.
You can often buy one for less than a beater 4x4 pickup and they are easy to find parts and maintain...they also run on just about anything that will burn to include the french fry oil you have been throwing away and waste oil from other vehicles.
A buddy of mine quit smoking and bought a deuce with the money he saved.....good incentive to quit a bad habit.
Just a few ideas.
Hello,
I agree with Wreckerman, that is the way to go.
You have to man up, and stand your ground, are you head of house or is she?
I agree 100%....but after the first two wives...I now know who the head of the house is!!!
I tell her EXACTLY what I want to do....and when she says it's OK...I do it
Good luck! I'm still trying to convince myself I need one and I've had it for almost two years.
OH you need the deuce.Good luck! I'm still trying to convince myself I need one and I've had it for almost two years.
Done this with a couple of guns! It also works for the little stuff that goes with the 10 wheel flowerpot in the yard such as parts or canvas or the military gear and tents and stuff. If you want a good trick, bring home a 5 ton first, anything small after that is EASY!!! Then it become a size that "She" might want to drive.Don't buy it and then tell her later, or just have it show up in your driveway--a deuce is way too big, she'll notice it right off the bat!
You can only do that with guns (if you already have a bunch she won't notice one more) unless your buddy walks into the room and says, "you husband just bought a nice, new gun." That happened to me, so hide your gun purchases from your buddies as well! There is still one out in the garage that will not be coming into the house for a long time!
I explained to my wife the joys of having a hobby, the benefits of a deuce in case of an emergency (we also watched the film 2010 and I told her a limo cannot do what a deuce can do.) She finally gave the ok because I asked, "I'm serious I really want one, can I get one." She said on one condition, I have to put a "hello kitty" sticker in the window!
I just figured out what you need to do.I have enough trailers that if one or two more show up, she can't tell.
Mine is a 68 M35A2 with manual trans. Typical deuce...nothing special.....YET!!Hello Kenny,
The deuce you do have, does it have manual or auto transmission?
Also, what is the "M" model number for that particular one?
I just got an M1009 Chevy CUCV.
Good night,
Jay
