looking for an original excuse?

[vanordinaire]

I've had a look at a wee project car which is on sale locally. Not advertised yet and IMO a bit of a bargain. Trouble is my wife thinks I've got too many projects on the go and should be spending more time on the house. Can anyone think of a good reason/excuse for buying this? It'll have to be something pretty original, I've used up all the usual ones.

ps it's a '97 MGF , just run out of MOT and tax but reasonable nick, should sail through a new MOT. I can have it for £150 if I'm quick.

MTFU shouldnt need to ask

[s p a c e m a n]

Some bloke on an internet forum told you that people that bought an MGF found that their penis grew 3 inches within a week and that they could last 3 times longer in the sack.

Say you won it in a ring-toss game at a local carnival

I don't need to ask first, just need to calm her down afterwards for a quiet life

Wouldn't work, I doubt she could take any more.

I don't know what a ring toss game is but it sounds dodgier than I would want to admit to

You lost a bet so you must drive round in a hairdressers car for a month or two.

Seriously? from the owner of a diesel Seat?

Tell her you won it in a grammar rodeo two towns over.

There is no such thing

Unfortunately she accompanied me to that event and witnessed me coming fourth.

[Monkeylegend]

Simple really, tell her you bought it as a present for her, and you would be traumatised if she rejected it.

It's an excuse amd better because claiming it was punishment in a bet means you can always hint the alternative was much much worse.

They're becoming increasingly rare, and it will be worth a minimum of 5 grand in a years time.

[northwest monkey]

Tell her you've had it for ages but she's just not noticed it.

[MarvGTI]

Take her shopping and give her a budget of 150, the car will have cost you 300 in the end but she can't call you out on injustice and should provide some calm.

Oh, and don't forget to compliment her on her new clothes afterwards and you'll be golden.
