Welcome to the forum!

My wife has fussed at me repeatedly about the speeds I drive, and how my truck drinks so much fuel. So that prompted my quest for better fuel economy.
I've now plastered various plastic things onto the truck over the years, which drew (multiple) complaints from her about appearance. So, when I told her she used to complain about how much fuel the truck drank, that started me working to reduce it. Now, with the changes I made, it gets better mileage and she complains about the appearance. I asked her what do you want? She said she didn't know what to say...
On the topic of the Prius and other hybrids, it still amazes me how many of those I see speed by me on the Interstates, as I cruise along in the RAM at 65-70mph. The Prius really isn't designed to scream along at 80mph...

The next morning he got up early and left for work. When his wife woke
up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box
gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.
Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway and brought
the box back in the house.
She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.
Bob has been missing since last Friday.

My boss, shortly before he married his wife, heard this from his soon to be father-in-law "Son, don't ever cheat on a woman that knows how to cut the balls off of a farm animal."
