Me: Why didn't you buy pillows that matched?

as for the others... good luck. i had a deal worked out with my wife that any money that came into our posession that wasn't from a paycheck (tax return, mortgage company screw ups that give money back, etc...) we'd split 50-50 and no questions are to be asked about what we spend it on.

Also, my clutch is getting increasingly difficult to put into 3rd gear and reverse. There's also this shuddering whenever I pull off in first. That's always been there. Bad clutch?
The exhaust and LSD I think I can slip by her un-noticed Any expert opinions on the latter?
