    "The old lady won't let me keep the car"

    Married guys, can you explain this to me? How does it work that your wife can tell you what cars you can and cannot own, as an adult spending (presumably) your own money? I'm 18 so the concept of a girl telling me to get rid of a car is foreign to me. Only really had one girlfriend in my life, and there were times where I was whipped. But selling my beloved? I just couldn't imagine such a thing.

    90% of the time when a guy says "wife won't let me keep it" what he means is, "we talked and I agreed to sell it". Usually, they are not 100% set on keeping it. And when they are but still "get told to sell it" they probably spent money else where that they "shouldn't" have. Practicality and dudes when it comes to our toys can be pretty erratic.
    Need a part? PM me.

      Two things bro and she has the Flying V. Fortunately I had my e30 prior to marrying my 2nd wife and got another one also (1 garage queen/ 1 DD/Track car ) and have had serveral since then. Maybe you should have a sit down with her and find out what the issue is.

        I feel like I'd wanna drive an e30 over fucking my fat wife any day. Not saying anyone here has a fat wife, but it is a statistical probability that if you're in America your partner is overweight.

          it's not my own money anymore. it's our money. money that goes to that vacation that she's dying to go on or the bathroom that needs to be remodeled or you've been spending too much time and money on that car. etc.

          for me and my friends that are car oriented, the key is happy wife happy life. Keep them happy and occupied with whatever their interests are and they let us live our lives as we see fit. Also knowing that you're NEVER right helps. ;)

              I simply made it clear. I have a daily driver and I have a toy car. She has her car. Bills are paid and her car is 100%. I keep my cars. Been married for 8 years with no issue.

                Speak for yourself. I've got 5 cars, 3 motorcycles and a skinny wife. I don't see a problem.

                  This is why I am not ready for a joint bank account.


                  I already stop myself from buying the things I want.

                          Even though she hates my e30 with jealous rage, she'll take a ride over having to walk, anytime.

                            I am going to pass on a few words of wisdom here.

                            Happy Wife ............................ Happy Life

                            That said, I buy what I want when I want to, 10 bucks, 10k bucks does not matter long as the bills are paid and there is still $$$$$ in the bank after the purchase is made then she does not say much. She can do the same if she wants too, bigger purchases of course we will talk about and bounce it off the other 1st. Its not about one telling the other what to, if its like that then there is something fundamentally wrong in the relationship

                              This. My wife actually tells me I HAVE TO GET something when I find it.
