In the course of a long drive today, my wife and I discussed the idea of keeping my GTI for a long time. Seemed the perfect time to say, “I have been very, very, very, very seriously thinking about getting a toy car.”
Her response was, “Keep thinking.”
That’s not a no.
So, I’m still hoping someone might help me with a carfax, and that I’ll be able to get the owner to show me the C5Z.

[Edit] This evening I told a family member that I was going to get a Corvette in front of my wife.
The woman said, “Are you really?” My wife turned and said, “No.” I said, “Yes, I’ve just got to find the right one, that’s cheap enough.”
So, there is both a continuation of the conversation as well as a certain amount of assertion that this will happen.
I’m sure that it will be a topic again this weekend. I’m not asking a question, just getting her used to the idea. 19 years married, we know how to live well together, and sometimes it’s a dance.

That sound like a pretty firm no to me... Like “get real” but slightly nicer.

:) - the “that’s not a no!” hasn’t worked for me... that said... I have discussed my potential need for a vette at some point in the future and I have reserved the right to pull the trigger w/o prior approval within reason.

It’s the first step in the conversation. About how this is happening either way, basically.

You want a dog and she wants a cat.
So you guys compromise... and get a cat.

That just means it needs to be parked where she won’t see it

That actually would resolve her biggest concern.

That’s my weekend strategy.

It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission!
