If it's hitting a nerve with the wife... it goes.

 

Or... add a pole.

You need a third option on the poll for "all of the above". Pretty funny.

 

Do you by chance enjoy riding mopeds?

I'm clearly in the minority here but here's my take. Happy wife, happy life. If you take it off she will feel listened to and valued. That can go a long way. And when she's together with the other wives, you want them complaining about the one of the other wives' husbands, not hers.

 

To argue from your self-interest, you may even be able to parlay the act of taking it off into more understanding on her part of regarding something you really want to do or have. "Honey, I really considered what you said and I admit I'd never seen it from that perspective before. I'm going to take that grill off. I'm really glad we talked about this. Oh, by the way, [insert friend here] ask me to help on his coues deer hunt. I know your cousin is getting married that weekend but this is really important to me. Do you mind if I go?"

 

Plus, although I'm not familiar with the vehicle it's on, if it's liquid cooled and there's a radiator right behind the grill, that grill may block off some airflow and make it run a bit hotter than the optimum operating temperature. Probably not a big deal but something to consider.

 

Finally, politeness, sensitivity and a desire not to hurt other people's feelings unnecessarily are not "political correctness", it's common decency. So don't let others tell you what to do (not even me). Reflect on it and follow your instincts.

 

Let us know how this works out.

I was thinking cooking grill when I first saw it (fat guy got excited!) but radiator grill? As long as it runs cool, leave it!! It's more tasteful that the lifted truck guy with a ball sac hanging on their hitch. Best part...., they don't even know what a hitch is for!

To each, his own I say. Do what's right for you. I'm not some keyboard cowboy who tries to tell other people how to live their lives. And my book of marriage advice is not exactly a best seller.

 

Maybe a fat trucker sticker (yes, those exist) for her ride would make it even. :D

 

This song hits too close to home for me but still makes me laugh:
