So, I bought an electric starter kit for the wife’s 2003 Summit and wanted to give it to her as a x-mass present. See, I thought this would be a really thoughtful gift as I know she has a little trouble pulling the rope (all kinds of bad stuff comes out of here mouth actually when she does it). So, I thought I was being really nice right?

Well go figure, she does not think this is thoughtful and helpful at **ALL**. This is a totally in-appropriate XMAS gift. Her rationale is she does not need this, that is what I am for, and this is really something to help me - not her. She wants me to go out and buy something completely useless for her. When I asked her how much money she wants me to spend this Xmass, she asked me how much I spent on the electric start kit. Well six hundred and change?? :eek:.....what was I thinking :confused:, I should go and return this right now as it does not affect her and is not needed in any way.

Who doesn't see the logic in trying to help her out besides me? :D:D:D

I totally see your logic there 2003Summit but unfortunately women ALWAYS need to find that one maybe even half a dozen things to complain about. For example... i been trying for 3 yrs now to get my wife interested in sledding and even want to get her a sled. The answer i get every time is NO. Want to get her a quad so she could have more fun riding. The same answer....NO. So all i can say is good luck finding that xmas gift that will make her eyes sparkle like the north star....

OK this is how it works, if you love her put it in and go and buy her something that she can show her friends and say how much you love her. You know get her a nice ring or neckless just spend money on her. Thing to clean the house are not good gifts unless she has asked for it.

By the way having you pull start the sled just shows her that you care about her, by putting in the starter you are just telling her that you would reather not help her, or you see it as a pain in the a$$. But make sure you put it in because if you don't she will bitch about it when you get out on the hills.

In September my wife announced she would like to try sledden this year after I pulled myself up from the floor (fell over from shock) I said sure that sounds great!!!! All the time thinking this could mean a new sled in the future:confused: better not get ahead of myself. My son will be in Brazil for most of the winter months so she can drive his sled (which is mine) and see how she likes it, like I say if this works out I can see some new iron in the future.:)

Me, I'm lucky like shifty, my wife doesn't care for the "BLING" things. She's happy with a new TV, a helmet, a weekend alone in Canmore, a quite walk in the park.....
Not to say there aren't things that bling that she likes, but for the most part she's easy to buy for.
Sorry to hear your being pushed into a corner over an electric start. Good luck on resolving it.

I'm in, here is my bid...I might even throw in a case of beer (six pack that is) to sweeten it.

well, when i came across the deal on my fusion, which was one i could not say no too, lets just says she didn't feel the same excitment that i did. really the sled was because i wanted 1 short track (and its a 900) and to keep my summit 800. so for some reason i told her that i was buying it for her so we could go riding, why, don't know. ehh, wrong answer.

do you know what a women with access to a sled wants????

TO GO SHOPPING FOR ALL MATCHING GEAR!!!

do you know what the people at the store saw???

DOLLAR SIGNS!!!!!!!!

get my drift, a pretty young lady who wants to match from boots to helmut equals a hefty bill. and for what, she's not really going to go when its cold??
do you know what the best part is, whenever she meets someone or a friend that snowmobiles, she asks what they ride, and she always replys, oh i have a 900. even put pictures of MY sled bragging about how it is her 900.
but i pray that she'll like it so i can buy her her own and have mine back!!!
or she can give me 125% of what i paid for it ....is that wrong!!!!LOL:)
