Now my wife wants a new car...what would you do?
So after my Stingray purchase, my wife starts talking about wanting to upgrade HER TOY (a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited) with a newer one to replace her "old" 2012 Jeep Wrangler (the red one in the background).
Given that I had recently justified the Stingray purchase, I didn't really think I had a leg to stand on...should I have talked her out of it?
Once she saw the color on this limited edition "Polar Edition" Sahara Unlimited, she had to have it.

Welcome to my world. I buy a new Vette almost every year. In the last 4 years, my wife has had 3 Lexus (Lexi?) and now a BMW 435.
We just thought the Vette was an expensive habit. But look at it this way: Now she can't gripe about mods or another Vette.

Replace the wife with one more reasonable?
If she's like this because you bought the Vette, how's she gona act when you add the super charger?
You need to be firm!

If she wants it, and you guys can afford it, then go for it.

Option A- replace wife, Option B- get her the jeep, but I'm not crazy about that color or the decal on the front of it. Option C- Convince her to get the new SRT8 jeep ! lol

Real interpretation of above:
Do what your wife says ...
...Like an obedient lap dog....
...Then maybe you wont get your ***** busted as much.....but they will still be aired out.....with spiked heels.....or caressed with a baseball bat.....you don't need them anyway.....not anymore......
...Convince yourself you have a happy life.....
...Keep repeating ..."I am soooo sooooo happy."....... While wearing your YES DEAR T shirt.....Try to smile......
