B-rad has done it again

OK-so I've told you countless times how B-rad is NEVER happy with what he has. He's always thinking & scheming of ways to change EVERYTHING. Except me. I figure that is because:
A) I'm the one who skimps & saves money to bankroll his hair-brained schemes &
B) if he gets rid of me I will make sure it costs him a ton of moo-lah.
There - I said it...I feel better now...he has been warned...
We bought his truck last year around this time. It was the truck he'd always wanted - his 'dream' truck, if you will. He was so excited about it & he said me, "This is the truck I've always wanted. It has everything I want on it." Silly lil' me was convinced that B-rad had been rehabilitated of his 'changin' ways & was gonna leave the truck just like it was the day we drove it off the lot. Alas, I was bamboozled. He left it alone for like 9 months. Once he thought the pain of the truck payment had worn off, he brought up 'new muffler & exhaust'. UHM-what's wrong with the muffler & exhaust the perfect truck came with? He tried to confuse me with technical terms like, "Lowers exhaust gas temps. Keeps the pistons from melting..." And then he put on the new muffler & exhaust....
He knew he was going to need new tires before winter. And just any ole tires just won't do for B-rad. He had to get some supped up special 4 wheel drive manly tires. BUT-not only that - he got a lift kit thingie for it. I don't know why... Sigh. It's already too high for me to get into without a step ladder. Do you think he's giving me a signal? First he won't let me drive it - now I can't even ride in it?!
He also decided that since he was getting new tires - he might as well get new rims too. Psssh, I mean - why not? The old tires had to come off & since they were already going to the trouble of doing THAT-lets just go ahead & put NEW rims on too. He's killin' me people. A slow, painful killin'...
So a bunch of moo-lah later, B-rad has the MODIFIED & IMPROVED truck of his dreams. And you may be wondering, "Oh, surely this is it. He won't want to do anything else to it! It's so pretty, er I mean TOUGH looking now!" Tsk, tsk my stalkers - next up - he wants a spray-in bedliner (it has a bed liner in it NOW - but it's not a spray-in - duh!) & tinting the windows.
Please, join me as I exhale a sighhhhhhhh.......

Ha ha ha! Sighhhhh! I hear ya, girl. Boys and their toys. I do agree with ginmommy...I tend to do the same thing EXCEPT, my new pants, or new shoes cost WAY less than the things that Eric wants....a new gun, a new truck, a spray-in bed liner. Just sayin!
