I seem to have the same problem with No.12 Motor Graders, they've been following me home for years. I have a theory π€ perhaps, if I would take the wife's car and leave any oils and greases at home when I go look at a new find. Maybe just maybe one is less likely to follow me home.
UPDATE:
Didn't work.π I even took a shower, used the wife's foo-foo soap and dressed in my Sunday-go-to-meetings (no greasy Carhartts). The new find still sniffed me out and followed me home. The Uber ride home for the running 9K was 1.25 times more then what I paid for the Grader itself. π€·ββοΈ ...
Wife's response π€¦ββοΈπ. I could see in her face a change when she realized the new "shiny object" would keep me out of her hair for a good length of time. She regained her countenance, smiled that fake toothy smile π¬ nodded then turned and walked away.
