      In my case all the items are due to " unforeseen break downs and component failures with plenty of preventative maintenance thrown in. After market parts are only a fraction of the price of OEM".

        Quite a few members have a list longer than that but just don't publicise it as much..

          The biggest issue with writing a list is the realisation of how much more than you wanted to spend has happened. Oh and if your that worried about what your wife thinks you've got a husband and your the wife! Just saying don't let it get you down just grow a pair!

            Some of us drive a collection of aftermarket parts with a Jeep badge attached.
            It seemed like a good idea at the time........

              I reckon that you are either not married, one of the lucky 10%, or didn't have wedding cake at the wedding. I am sure there is something in the wedding cake!
              My experience tells me that you can buy whatever you want before you're married, after that, due to hormones or something they pig out on in the cake, it becomes a battle unless it is something which benefits them.
              I must admit though you must have balls to bring that up!
