Default She would buy me anything but RC

im in the middle of negotiation with my girlfriend regarding the gift that i want for valentines day. I told her that I want the traxxas slash so badly. She said anything but RC. She said it is waste of money. Man! These women just don't understand the pain of rc addiction. But anyways, if she doesnt buy it for me, i will buy it myself since now i've settle down in a pretty good IT career

Do this, ask her to get a gift certificate from you local rc store. Th certificate itself is not an rc!!!

the reason she thinks it's a waste of time is because you never bought her a car of her own to race you.
His and Hers!

My wife's not the biggest fan of RC but she knew what she was getting into before we got married. I don't smoke or hang out in bars and she and my kids have everything they could ever want so my son and I do whatever we like when it comes to this hobby. If she and my daughter can buy $160 boots we're buyin' some RCs !

I hear you! RCs are expensive, no denying that, but womens apparel can be just as expensive. Has anyone seen how much a genuine Coach purse costs? You can buy a brand new LST2 with 2.4GHZ RTR radio for the same price!

when a woman spend $1000+ on a Louis vuitton hand bag, that's what I called WASTE or unexceptable...RCs are expensive, but if you enjoy it, it's ok to spend a little. but make sure you're under control. If not, it's like a lighter, it can burn your pocket.

Worth is in the eye of the beholder. I don't really tell my wife what she can and can't buy and she doesn't tell me. We do have to budget our spending but what we spend it on is not up for debate.

She just got a new car and I just got a new 60" plasma and we have our second child on the way so we are budgeting a little tighter right now but parts and stuff are no issue.

LOL, true. The HPI Savage is still in style from the very day it came out. The same for the Losi LST. And from whoat I understand, the Traxxas T-Maxx is still in style and it has been out since 1997!!!! 12 years!

T- MAxx is what started the craze brother!!!!! Now it has something to be compared with/ to as well as some competition. But still a great seller worldwide.

I tell you what, back in '97, if my GF at the time would have bought for me a T-Maxx, I would have married her on the spot!

Some girls love RC stuff...

Perhaps if she had a gift she really wanted, that might help prod her into getting you something nice.

Isn't Valentine's Day supposed to be about candies and flowers and Vermont Teddy Bears anyway? If I may *******ize a Tina Turner song... "What's RC got to do with it?"

I'll tell you, find a gal who will buy you an RC, you better marry her! You find one you better treat her like a queen, all the girls I know look at RCs with disdain[]

My wife despises this hobby that I am in. I take care of business, pay the bills, raise the kids, go to school, etc. She just simply hates the hobby. Everyone has their vise and this is mine. She doesn't dislike the hobby as much as she dislikes the time and $$ I spend on it. Granted I go way overboard, but it keeps me happy and is one of the things that balances me out.
