Some people just don’t get it. It’s not about how many vehicles you have. It’s about the ones you could have.

What is her favorite item to collect?

Use that as leverage.

She probably remembers when both Tercels and my truck were broken all at the same time.

It was — until doggo got her paws on it. Doggo was not allowed on couch. But once it was obvious that the Mrs. was not going to enforce that rule, there was no point.

Wait -- now I see you were making a “sleeping on the couch” joke that I totally missed. Not my sharpest Monday.

Try and get something she sees as reasonable(or most sane people) and maybe it will change.

Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo > Frenchlicker
10/10/2016 at 23:49

It’s no use -- she knows too much about the Allroad as it is.

Couldn’t you just get a land cruiser or something?

Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo > Frenchlicker
10/10/2016 at 23:53

That would be awesome! But it wouldn’t fit in my driveway, let alone my garage.

Frenchlicker > Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo

I see a street right there for parking. Don’t get a pristine one and that would be good enough.

My response to this (which I am seriously considering as I just backed out of a deal for what would have been a third car): sell both existing cars, burn it all down, start over.

My FJ80 is for sale as of today.

Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo > RPM esq.
10/13/2016 at 01:00

Wait — which of your many cars does this involve. The Rav4 and the Landy?

Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo > RPM esq.
10/13/2016 at 01:00

por que?

RPM esq. > Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo
10/13/2016 at 01:14

FJ80 and SQ5, probably. Rav4 isn’t really mine to sell, but a kid rapidly closing in on a driver’s license is a factor. Daily driving the SQ5 makes the FJ80 pointless for all but the roughest duty, and the only reason I’ve been looking for a third car is that I miss a lower, sportier car. The balance was better with the M3 and FJ. Solution: replace the FJ80 with something a little more comfortable but comparably tough (3rd or 4th-gen 4Runner?) so I’ll happily drive it more often; replace the SQ5 with the kind of sporty small sedan or coupe I should have replaced the M3 with (E90 M3? Cayman or 997 911? C63 AMG?); and alternate them more evenly.

This is stunning turn of events — I mean, you JUST bought that SQ5!

RPM esq. > Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo
10/13/2016 at 01:23

Yeah, in March, and it has a warranty and service plan through the middle of 2018, so this scheme isn’t in that much of a rush. But I know when I’ve erred. It’s plenty quick and comfortable, and basically the perfect one-car daily driver for my life, but I really miss driving something more FUN, and I fear I will buy an Alfa Romeo ( http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/cto/5822074585.html ) that I have no room for (and thus really do myself some harm) if I don’t get into something sportier soon.

Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo > RPM esq.
10/13/2016 at 01:27

I’m scared to ask how much you’re selling that FJ80 for. Though it is right now probably the “cheapest” LC one could buy (after an early LX), but it’s still a Land Cruiser.

RPM esq. > Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo
10/13/2016 at 01:47

Pretty good one too! With a lot of recent maintenance, but not the prettiest cosmetic example. I don’t know, this is a new idea, but you and Oppo will be the first to know.

I’m supposed to look at a bad-idea car this Saturday. It’s so bad I’m having a friend who specializes in bad decisions tag along. Not having a second vehicle has been PAINFUL (although having money is nice).
