The wife gets a new lease every 3 years because she can choose what she wants within reason and if it doesn't come with servicing I make sure we add it (at a discount) because then she can choose whatever thing she wants and I don't have to worry if it is poo poo because it has a warranty, servicing and is going back in 3 years.

Rhyno posted:I don't play that game anymore, we're more than well off enough that I don't even do my own oil changes anymore. Honestly, I only do oil changes when I want to send a sample to Blackstone, or on my old junk like the AE86. edit: and the free car wash that comes with the oil change is frequently the only time they get washed, too. Is it bad that I'm looking at a 2006 Mazda5 Touring on FBM for $350? No key, but has auction title/paperwork... Maybe if I sell the Kia successfully. And promise to sell the CV so my wife doesn't murder me in my sleep.

I've got a buddy who buys cars for his wife without her input because the Bible tells him that he is in charge of all decisions and I'm not making this up. I'm an old man that has been through an absolute nightmare of a divorce and remarried to an amazing woman and the last thing I'm going to start an Actual Fight over is which Jeep she wants to drive. We've had the Renegade for 7 years and the message that wouldn't go away is the first thing to go wrong. I think that's pretty good. Like I said before, I think a Cherokee would be more to our needs here, but if she wants a Renegade then that's what she gets. Could be worse...she's always wanted a Wrangler.

It’s not about fighting tho. My wife trusts my judgement when it comes to cars and doesn’t question it. Sure if she really wanted something that wasn’t the best ever i wouldn’t mind but she always gravitates to the worst cars lol (when I met her she had just bought a new Sebring  ). So usually I get an idea of what she likes and give her a list of good cars in that category and she picks from there. She loves the Lexus I found for her so everyone wins.

tuo posted:That's the BMW C1, though I can't remember a version with two front wheels. I drove one for a couple of months, since you didn't need a bike license for it and also didn't need to wear a helmet. It was pretty fun to drive in the city, but way too expensive for what you got. I think you might have the Piaggio MP3 in mind. Tilting three wheeler, two in the front. Seen a few around here in Athens

Sure if she really wanted something that wasn’t the best ever i wouldn’t mind but she always gravitates to the worst cars lol (when I met her she had just bought a new Sebring Trust me I understand that everyone's relationships are different. I think where our issue comes from earlier is that I am not an auto mechanic or even really good with the mechanics parts of cars. I like to think I know what I'm talking about and do a lot of research before I buy a car but it is not my primary or secondary or even any kind of number on the list of things I'm good at lol. There are things that coincide with what I've done with my life and my career that I get to absolutely have full rain on and that's technology stuff and computers. I have no doubt that you are providing the best possible options and explanations for her and she would be smart to listen to you :-) Edit: growing up it was always a bit of a joke that my mom said she could always tell when a car was a Chrysler because she liked the way it looked. My old man would only buy Fords for his whole life and absolutely refused to buy her anything that she actually liked because it wasn't a Ford. He passed away unexpectedly several years ago and I have since told my mom that she can now by whatever she wants but she's very old and just doesn't want to buy a new car and doesn't want to be stuck with the Taurus and the issues they're in. But that's an entirely different thread and subform.

Okay gently caress it, lets do this. 10 votes either awesome or terrible. If they match my opinion, you get "rewards" side of the buttons. No downside. You may ask for votes to be cast. Good luck!
