Make spending on your RX8 "an opportunity"

Post by warpc0il »

In discussions with her-indoors/SWMBO, spending money on your RX8 can often be seen as "a problem".

However, as Christmas approaches, we can turn that "problem" into "an opportunity". :xmasthumleft:

Men are notoriously difficult to buy presents for but your RX8 provides endless solutions to this difficulty, at a wide range of price points.

From your spouse/partner you might like to suggest a nice custom steering wheel or a set of fancy ignition coils and leads, or a pair of CG-Locks :xmasgrin:
From less affluent friends and family, there are real leather gear stick shrouds, a pair of high-output light bulbs or anything from the Halfrauds Pro range of tools. :xmaswink:
As said, the possibilities are endless, just make sure you choose what they buy, unless you like to be surprised with a set of pink fluffy dice. :xmaseek:
The women had the right idea here with the process of "the wedding list".

I also suggest that you don't buy your other half an ironing board or a vacuum cleaner for Christmas, unless they have been very specific as to which one they want, and even then keep the receipt.

Things that take batteries can be quite popular but make sure you buy the right size & the batteries. :xmasthumright:

Now for the small print...

This suggestion is in no way sexist and applies equally to female owners, same-sex partners, anyone who identifies with any part of the LGBTQIA+ community or the ADHD spectrum, or is in any way ginger.

No warranty is given nor should be implied and no liability is to be held against the author from following this suggestion.
No loss sustained, including but not limited to divorce, is covered.
