Question is, what will she let you replace it with?

I’m allowed to replace it, but I can’t buy anything until this goes away. We’ll see!

That’s a nice thought, but might not work out so well when you inevitably get pulled over by a dude cop.

I may need to cut myself in half to fit into an Elise. Actually, my limbs are starting to go clickety-clack so they might just cut themselves in half for me.

I’m a nobody engineer and the wife is a doc of some sort.

When we get a break from parenting, we pretend to be fancy. Next time I should give her a matching hat and tell people we teleported out of 1930s Shanghai in search of our heist money.

Parenthood

Where you cherish a rare opportunity to take the wife out in a car that she doesn’t like.

If you got an R8 she would be like oh Audi, how refined and German and sensible, even though it is just as low as the 355.

Unless the offer is too good to refuse (it cannot be!), keep the Ferrari. Timeless beauty and a fantastic soundtrack - talking about the car here...

To my wife, all sports cars are “low, uncomfortable and noisy,” sometimes shortened to “ridiculous.”

She does admit that it looks breathtaking on the road.....from the comfort of her own car.

Low cars wreak havoc on skirts and dresses of any length. Long ones mean you can’t even reach a leg out very far without pulling the other leg or catching on something.

I’ve accepted that I’ve hit peak car soundtrack. But other cars are much sharper to drive, mostly because they are newer and better-engineered.

They will find a way to catch on things and make your car look bad in front of your wife. It’s a losing game, but don’t go down without a fight.

Indeed, perhaps the Ferrari tenure will make way for a new experience. Looking for a car to fill the same ethos or a different usage?

I seriously cannot picture myself owning a Countach (if I could hypothetically afford one.....and I can’t) or anything newer from Lamborghini. Driving any exotic requires thick skin, but Lambos are just on another level.
