Help me quit (not really)
Friday I get a call from Radio Shack. They have a Black 49mhz Mustang for me (been on the list sence Thanksgiving) So I get it.
Sunday I'm walking through Wal-Mart and find the Nakamichi N Racer. So I get it.
Today I stop at Target and find a MicroSizer and I had to get it to.
4 Days 3 Cars and $55 Dollars
When will the Insanity end 
(Girl friend thinks I'm nuts)

The insanity NEVER ends.
If you're smart, buy the cars in PAIRS...Then tell the girlfriend that the second is for HER so that you can play TOGETHER!
This is of course a ploy (so that you can have MORE cars), but it makes you look good!

Re: Help me quit (not really)
You're telling me.. look at my sig and that list of cars.. that's all within a week or 2. I'm not even done yet.. =) I' really want the trueno body.
And my body started buying them a day or so after me and he has 6 cars, and like 3 bodies.

This technique works with larger RC cars too!
I bought a Traxxas T-Maxx and the wife said "hey that's cool". So now she "owns" one too! (Yeah, right!)
Actually, she does drive hers. Funny cuz I have like a dozen other 1/10 scale RC's and she only likes the T-Maxx and the "cute" little Bits.

My wife seems to let me keep buying these nasty little boy toys, so she doesn't feel so bad about spending the other half of our play money on her toys (gems).

 I have a battle with my wife everytime I buy one. She keeps saying "Don't you have 1 of those allready?" My reply is always something like "NO! Why don't you take some intrest in what I like and stop acting like you're my mom and I'm 12!" That shuts her up
I'm afraid it's not gonna work for too much longer.

haven't seen to many 'girls/ladies' in here. The male age range I'm sure is all over the place.
one never grows up when it comes to neat things.

Solution to the wife/girlfriend nagging about bits:
February the VW Beetle Bit comes out.....get her one.
That should be the ultimate in cuteness and change her mind.

One of the brands of Bullet clones HAS a new (Dung)Beetle. I think it was "Super Mini Racers" (Gas America carries them). The only ones I saw were red with black spots and ricer-stickers.
I got my girlfriend a (clone) Subaru Impreza (silver with purple graphics) for christmas and wrapped it up with a necklace (silver with an amethest) around the top of the snow-globe. She's cool with these things!
