That's the problem, Jeff. The wife always seems to get the new car, while we guys get the old junker. We haven't brought a car in nine years, and it’s been nice not having payment for the past six years. Some bonehead in a parked SUV decides to open her door while my wife drove by in our 94 Accord and gets $900.00 in damage. I figured that I didn’t want to spend any more money on that car, but my wife would not drive the car with that big dent, so we should go car shopping. She was saying how much she wanted a PT Cruiser for the longest. We test drove one and see wasn’t impressed, and neither was I. Buying a car with the wife is a pain because they don’t make a car decision let us guys do. They look for a flashy car, (PT) or a name. (BMW) So when the PT was dropped, we started looking for Bimmers. BMWs are very nice cars, but you don’t get a lot of bang for the buck. I said that we should look at the G35. She wouldn’t even test drive it. She doesn’t like Infinitis. Yes, she should be shot. She hates my Q. She calls it the jalopy and thinks my Q is slow. What is she smoking? She wouldn’t look at anything else. I was thinking about maybe checking out an Audi and she said no. Well, after a couple of weeks later, and $36,000.00 later, we buy the BMW 330. Nice car, but small. Well here’s the kicker, with all the snow we’ve had, the fact we needed a car that can haul stuff around, and that $36,000.00 was more that we wanted to spend on a car now she tells me the other day that we should have gotten the PT. Women, can’t live with them, can’t kill them. I wish my wife was like yours. I would buy her the G35 and a Fender Strat. Funny you mention the mandolin, my wife got me one for Xmas.
