Dammit Dirk, stop cluttering up this :jeep: thread with these comments.
Right?

Wait. Hang on. You missed a big point...

Did yours ASK for the wider tire in the front or are you volunteering this great idea for her? HUGE difference with where the idea originates.

If she's asking for the wider front tire, that's a different story.
She most certainly does not give a fuck about a wider front tire for handling. I could sell the rotation thing no problem.

Until she decides that she liked the way the old wheels looked and why did you have to mess with something that wasn't broken and you always do this why can't you just be normal and blah blah blah blah

Bruh...you should know this shit by now.

Just looking out for a breh. Seems like he's creating a potential problem where one doesn't exist currently.

He claims it's so tires can be rotated to which you mentioned that your tires have worn evenly on your vehicles.

I'm sure he knows his :tits: It's what he doesn't know that can get him. Sometimes I'm really surprised by what sets mine off.

Example:

We're having a new garage built. Working with an architect, he sent us some early concept drawings and I reviewed with :tits: She liked it, so I told architect to go.

Drawings come in, and :tits: goes "OMG this is the ugliest thing I've ever seen! I hate it!"

I go :wtf: and pull out the original sketch SHE APPROVED

Apparently, a trim piece was removed from the original sketch to the final drawings for legitimate reasons. That move made the garage go from "fine" to the "ugliest thing she's ever seen".

I've been with this woman for 8 years...she's never reacted like that. I'm still :mindblown: by it TBH, this happened last week.

I had to WASTE hours of back and forth between her and the architect to get the fucking trim piece to look like his initial sketch.

Tl;Dr:

:tits: are unpredictable, and you never know what will set them off. Tread lightly when taking the initiative when changing things without explicit approval.

Bruh.....I'm only talking about getting two new ramz, and they are the SAME....400M. Just getting four wide ones. That would be the plan. No I am not just going to show up with coilovers, a mad drop, BBS MOTORPSPORT BRUH, etc. Which I could get away with until they rub, which they probably do. Otherwise everyone would be doing it.

Ohhhh, I thought it required a replacement of all 4 wheels.

Still think it's a waste :doe:

Next move on the Corvette would be Recarbros or :fullretard: A&A. The latter is too expensive however, particularly considering that my crotchfruit is moving her test scoring into elitist undergrad possibilities. She backed her first 770 Math/730 Verbal with a 690 Math/800 Verbal. Which is ten points lower unless you "superscore" and take the pick of the litter, which would make her total 1570...which converts to a 36 ACT. That's as good as you can do. Unfortunately, UC schools only take one test date. This kid is either going to save me a bunch of money or cost me a bunch of money, I have not figured out which yet.

I think that will not fly with :tits:. I'm going to have to do a double move.........sell old Tahoe, sell BMW, get new Tahoe and Jeep. That seems unlikely, and i have bigger problems, see above.

Why would you need a new Tahoe? What?
I don't NEED anything. Same as you. However, my woman likes driving the Tahoe......to the extent she prefers it to the BMW, and what that really means in :tits: speak is that she'd like a new model. You guys can talk till you are blue in the face about how the JL rides super nice, but I have grave doubts about ze woman liking it.........which means it would be relegated to "toy" status for me and I don't get two entire vehicles that ONLY I DRIVE. Only :waxer: gets away with that kind of shit.

Are you/her a california residents ? Also which major is she considering. Majors are more important than test scores, although test scores certainly indicate a very strong work ethic.

Right, I'm not worried about her selling drugs on the street corner. But the future spending prognosis is uncertain. I feel like we make enough that it will seriously impinge any financial aid she might get at one of these crazy $70K/year schools. But at the same time I"m not willing to spend $70K/year on undergrad because that is :fullretard:........with like maybe two exceptions, Harvard and Stanford, and those are beyond her reach.
