Ok listen and learn kiddies: I have a garage full of toys and here's how.

A. Wheel and deal on parts.........when stuff comes up buy the lot , keep what you need and sell the rest.........hand the Mrs the profit.

B. want more datto parts....take on side work , then hand the Mrs her cut.

C. She won't know it's a deal if you don't educate her. " hey honey can you belive it some guy wanted $1600 for a stock A-series , he's on crack" over the course of time tell about every sale you see and laugh about how outragous the price is, THEN we you find a deal she'll be so conditioned to hearing much higher prices she'll be happy your spending less.

D. Bribes shameless bribes..........make sure to buy her a little something from time to time..........this way you'll throw away money on her as well as your Datsun.

E. Suck up , compliments and more sucking up.........it's like oil changes the more you do this the longer it lasts. Oh and remember you can't suck up 3 minutes before you annonce the CA conversion.

F. Finally diversionary tatics...............if you want an A12 to A15 upgrade announce you want to do a CA conversion , then back pedal and say it isn't practical. If you want a CA conversion bring home ads for used Porsches....you get the idea.
