Now she wants one.

Just so happens, the dealership has a Coupe 6MT, with the Aero kit, and Brembo brake option, Black on Black.

$36,000.00

Too Bad, not to be...

She did enjoy the Auto/Manumatic shifting, though. Red-Lined the car a few times, and caused the rev limiter to kick in.

It is a fun little car.

The I30t, is just barely broken-in @ 45,000 miles.

Yeah,

For me it's been a struggle to not let her see the Pathfinder Armada. Her 97 has been "just fine" according to her, but now that there's a monster truck pathfinder, all of a sudden there's little problems developing with hers.

:rolleyes

Better to want new cars, than new Husband.

I have 17 payments left on the I30t, and then we might make a deal on a new one.

I just bought her a new guitar, last week. That makes 7 total, not including the Mandolin, or Bass.

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.

Most Infinti drivers are former BMW fans, but there are reasons we switched...

needs more mud on it:D

yes, being single does rock:ylsuper

me and BMW's are kinda hit and miss, well, I just want the M cars for the most part, despite lame relibality and maintence costs, they're still badass cars...

if I had the money right now, I'd be tempted to go get a Q just for the sheer size and styling, such a nice car (well, except the early ones with the goofy hood and ornament, no offense early Q owners)

or a G35 Coupe:drooling...

women are too damn expensive. Thats the other reason Im glad Im not married. Plus the woman Im dating is a RN, and is planning on either buying a RX8 this spring, or a G35 coupe. But she is pissed that the Coupe doesnt come in AWD like the G35X

My GF drove my new car for the first time yesterday. She always keeps bugging me when I accel through turn, but in the G she pushed it quite well trough 270 degree ramp. She said it was fun and that I'll get to drive her suv more than I think :)
