I’m sure she’s just getting it for you as a surprise present. It will be like one of those Lexuses with the stupid bows, except junkier!

“You can do what you want but definitely don’t buy a car.” - Mrs. RPM, before I went and test-drove a car today . Which I did not buy, yet.

It’s not a bad thing to have an extra voice of reason around sometimes...

As long as you can keep her from buying the useless crap that some wives love to drag home , it all evens out.  If not, I hope you enjoyed freedom when you had it.

That’s about how good my Raptor conversation is going at the moment. 

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo 11/27/2019 at 02:08

One time I showed my wife a stupid Craiglist car I wanted to buy, and ... she JOKINGLY said “yeah it’s cute, I’d ride in it”

So the next day I bought it.

The best strategy is to Keep asking and eventually she’ll t rip up and kinda say yes.

My wife keeps telling me I can’t buy a Mini. She’s probably very right

That’s how I bought an M3 online once. I didn’t want to give her time to clarify or change her mind- “you said yes dear? Ok, I just sent the deposit to some guy in Missouri that I’ve never spoken to and might not exist”

My S/O was not happy about the Morgan but she tolerates and even drives it now. I just bought a tow vehicle/ DD within the budget we set with  an agreement that my next car once these are paid off that it can be as stupid as I want. And if you think the Morgan was stupid then you can guess the next one.

Ended up with our Evo after “I don’t care as long as it is four doors”.

My wife is a really good sport as evidenced by the menagerie of cars that we have.

“You can do what you want but definitely don’t buy a car.” - Mrs. RPM,

So the new Porsche  will be  a lease then?

This is basically how I got my WRX. I think she was surprised just how quickly I could find, test, inspect, and purchase a car.   I think she is still wondering “How the hell.....”

Months ago I told my wife I wanted to buy a Camaro. To my surprise she said “Okay, lets figure out how to make it work.”

I still haven’t bought a Camaro, partly because I haven’t figured out how to make it work. But also partly out of suspicion.

Ha, I’ve tried that, but the math rarely works out. “Boy, that’s a lot of shoes you’ve been buying...”

“Oh, and how much did you spend just this month fixing your Saab?”

“...They’re very nice shoes.”

Thank you! This is what I am wondering, too!

We can start the guessing with no a vehicle that has no roof.

Exocet or an Ariel

No, its the “ coupe” version of the GLE SUV, which used to be called the M Class.

So like an X6.

whatisthatsound > Tapas 11/27/2019 at 13:52

Oh yes the tow vehicle is a GLE 350 4Matic, the idiot car is an atom or a Viper ACR but I think the ariel is a better choice.

whatisthatsound > Longtime Lurker 11/27/2019 at 13:53

Yes an Ariel 3S or Viper ACR

Tapas > whatisthatsound 11/27/2019 at 14:30

I’d say the Nomad is a better choice!
