My fiance and I got engaged last night and she wants to get me a gift. She already mentioned that she would like to get the Moroso Coolant Tank, which I've wanted. Is there something else I should get instead? Budget is ~$200.

Congrats on getting engaged! And to a woman who wants to buy you a gift

 

Congrats are in order I guess? :-)

 

IMHO, car parts are not suitable engagement gifts. An engagement gift should be more personal, something that reminds you of your relationship every time you see it. It should also be something that you wear or see every day for many decades. Really, how long do you expect to keep this particular car? Even if the answer is forever, how often are you going to look at the coolant tank? Even more than that, does looking at a coolant tank really remind you of your past and future happiness with your fiancée?

Or to put it another way, an engagement gift should be so personal and connected to your current partner that your next wife will make you throw it away before she marries you. Oh, and congrats on getting engaged.

 

Congratulations Dfink114 !!

I wish you well. Sounds like you got a really good Girl. Wanting to get you a gift!!! WOW

I am with Boss.. Get a gift that will last and that you remember that special day. You could get a Mustang Ring, Mustang Watch LOL

 

I was thinking more along the lines of a box of condums. Well less than $200 and the savings that comes from not raising kids (Well north of $200) can be put towards your car habit. Win-win situation, huh?

I have to agree with Boss also. Good call! Get a watch or some other type of jewelry...tattoo? Oh and pics of the wife to be?

 

Ummm...yeah we saw this coming! :-/

 

Glenn you crack me up!

 

"The only gift I need... is your love for the rest of my life."

Boom!

You were dealt an easy hand here! Take advantage of it. NO car parts!

 

Condums?

Are those like these?

 

Hah, you guys are funny. Here we are

 

Congrats on getting engaged!

 

Congrats brother, dont bother with the car parts as many have already said. If she wants to get you something let her get you a watch or a tie, something of that manner. I bought my finance a coolant tank when we got engaged just sounds pretty funny.... we get it though, we are all car guys

 

Hah, what can I say? She gets me.

 

I didn't know we, as men, got engagement gifts??...

 

Congratulations on your engagement. I say get whatever she wants to get you. If it's car parts, then so be it.

I'm engaged as well and have been for probably 8 years. Just haven't finalized it yet. I guess after being divorced once, I'm in no hurry. LOL I will have to soon though since my fiancee is getting impatient.

Hey, feel lucky, I didn't get a gift at engagement time.

Congratulations brother. I do agree with Nathan here. Go hug that girl, tell her you love her harder than a goat can butt a stump. Do that quite often, and you're golden. She'll let you get almost anything you want as long as nobody goes hungry after the purchase. Take it from a man that has been married for 37 years my friend.

BTW, she's a beauty. You're a lucky man. Oh, and buy her flowers now and then just because. That'll keep the num-nums comin'.

 

I would get an engagement pistol.
Just saying.

 

Or a decent haircut.
