I bought the MM without my wifes' approval /knowledge.
I will say, I still am paying for it.
I asked her later, (many months) "Would you have given me the, OKEY DOKE?"
Absouletly not!
I followed up with, "See!"

Exactly! It is much easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.:D

Cruzer said it best. The first few years define the relationship. Decide what kind of relationship you want to be in for the rest of your life.
 
If she gets a new car, then in all fairness you should get one too. ;) One of my coworkers daughter, a cute 18 years old, wanted a crown vic for her first car. Daddy got her a well used cop car at auction and was tickled with it. I therefore dispute CV/GM geing an old fart car. :) They are actually becoming popular with kids around here because they can be had for cheap and last indefinately despite abuse.

Stories like ths remind me what a wonderful wife I have. She is a far better driver than I am and sees the value in owning a big oldfartmobile as our main car. She has a seven year old mustang for her play car as a reward for being a wonderful wife.
 
It is easier to ask for, and get, forgiveness than permission.

Hence...all of MY toys :D

This has been the funniest thread I've read on here in a LONG TIME!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The bottom line tho, everyone develops their own relationship with their spouse. One that works or doesn't for THEM. Realistically, how my relationship works with my wife doesn't matter compared to this case.

Of course... I have a Marauder... and drove nearly 3k miles roundtrip in the middle of the winter just after Christmas to get it. So I may not wear the pants in my family... but I damn sure get to borrow them whenever I want!

Good lesson for my Sons

Another good lesson to teach my sons before they get married. Worst thing to do is let a wife rule your marriage especially when it comes to buying cars.

Best new car story I have is when I bought a new loaded EB Bronco years ago and showed up with it to pick my wife up at the hospital after having an operation. That was over 10 years ago and I still hear stories about it. HA!!!!

And, even if you don't check the wife's ambitions for yourself, do it for the rest of us. The world will suck even more if the other wives hear about this.
 
Where did this guy go??:confused: Has he (??) responded at all??:rolleyes:

I can't believe any self respecting person would even post such stuff.......ON A PUBLIC FORUM!!??:shake:

"Ok Veruca" Lol!!!!

I think I can decode this obscure "Veruca" comment, apparently from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory:

"After many years of this arrangement, Wonka, in a surprise move, decides to re-open his factory to the public, by initiating alottery. Five Wonka Bars are sent out into the world which carry Golden Tickets hidden under their wrapping. Each ticket will admit the finder and one member of his/her family into the factory for a guided tour by the chocolate maker himself. A frenzy of chocolate-buying sweeps the globe. The winners of the first four tickets eventually prove to be a gluttonous pig-like boy called Augustus Gloop, a spoiled brat called Veruca Salt, a compulsive gum chewer named Violet Beauregarde and a television-obsessed little boy called Mike Teavee"

We really shouldn't criticize other peoples wives, especially when we don't actually know them personally. As others have pointed out, many women have hidden talents, that can enchant a man into submission. Even the Greek God has been unwillingly possessed by the charms of (more than one) vixen, Medusa, and Jezebel!
 
Does the term "P.W." mean anything to you? She has a learner permit? You wimp!!! There is nothing she can say or do to you that will make it worse than the regret you will have if you don't get the Marauder you want. Grow a pair of jewels and go buy it. Tell your wifey to learn driving in a beater. My god!

Hmmm, I didn't think it was that obscure. Whenever my my wife says, "I want ....", I reply, "I'll buy it for you Veruca."

Ouotes from imdb.com:

Veruca Salt: Hey, Daddy, I want an Oompa Loompa. I want you to get me an Oompa Loompa right away.
Mr. Salt: All right, Veruca, all right. I'll get you one before the day is out.
Veruca Salt: I want an Oompa Loompa now!

Veruca Salt: [singing] I want the world. I want the whole world./ I want to lock it all up in my pocket. /It's my bar of chocolate. /Give it to me now.

I want a party with roomfuls of laughter, / Ten thousand tons of ice cream, / And if I don't get the things I am after, / I'm going to screeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEAM.


Veruca Salt: I wanted to be the first to find a Golden Ticket, Daddy.
Mr. Salt: I know, angel. We're doing the best we can. I've got every girl in the place to start hunting for you.
Veruca Salt: All right. Where is it? Why haven't they found it?
Mr. Salt: Veruca, sweetheart. I'm not a magician. Give me time.
Veruca Salt: I want it now. What's the matter with those twerps down there?
Mr. Salt: For five days now, the entire flipping factory's been on the job. They haven't shelled a peanut in there since Monday. They've been shelling flavored chocolate bars from dawn till dusk.
Veruca Salt: Make them work nights.

Veruca Salt: They don't want to find it. They're jealous of me.
Mr. Salt: Sweetheart, I can't push them no harder; 19,000 bars an hour they're shelling; 760,000 they've done so far.
Veruca Salt: You promised, Daddy. You promised I'd have it the very first day.
Mrs. Salt: You're going to be very unpopular around here, Henry, if you don't deliver soon.
Mr. Salt: It breaks my heart, Henrietta. I hate to see her unhappy.
Veruca Salt: You're a rotten, mean father. You never give me anything I want. And I won't go to school until I have it.
Mr. Salt: Veruca, sweetheart, angel. Now, there are four tickets left in the whole world, and the whole ruddy world's hunting for them. What can I do?

Mr. Salt: Wonka, how much do you want for the golden goose?
Willy Wonka: They're not for sale.
Mr. Salt: Name your price.
Willy Wonka: She can't have one.
Veruca Salt: Who says I can't?
Mr. Salt: The man with the funny hat.

Veruca Salt: Daddy, I want a boat like this. A beautiful paddle boat is what I want.

It's a great movie and it has lines that fit all kinds of life situations.

I have a friend who insists that she is orally skilled enough to change a man's political orientation. Too bad I didn't meet her in after my 10th anniversary.
 
The way it works with my wife and I is...She buys the car she wants and I buy the one I want with our funny money. (after bills/savings are taken out). She and I both work hard for our money, got to enjoy something before our tickets are punched.

Now if it is a single income household, I'm not sure what possible scenarios can be.?. Every five years a new car?
 
Good point Pantheroc. Most arguments are about money in the end. My wife was smart enough to know that. When we had one income, paid the bills and split the balance, her checking account and mine less 10% into joint saving/investments. When we had 2 we split the bills invested more and each used the rest as we wanted. Consequently we did not have arguments. I always had the toys I wanted and she got to travel and made sure I ate and had a nice place to live. Best of all worlds and I did not have to waste a lot of energy running around looking for some place to have sex to get even with my wife.:rolleyes: Dennis:beer:
 
New car...

I bought a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee Larado AWD for my fiance in November... She stole my dog and ran off to PA somewhere the following month. The Blazer wasn't nice enough for her "first car"... I should've seen it coming...:depress:
 
My wife is the most wonderful woman I have ever met. She is a creature of grace and beauty. I dwelt in darkness before she brought her light into my life. I would surely be wallowing in my own filth if she hadn't saved me.















:depress: she reads the posts on this board.
