If you have not grown a pair by now it's way too late for you. Just put on a skirt and admit your place in the world. Even pretending to be a man is futile at this point.

Well yes and no.

Since you're footing a large part of the bill then you should have input. If you're not going to be the driver of it then maybe you should look at it as being nice to your wife (if she likes it). I still think you should have input though.

I myself can't really say you're being unreasonable if I don't know what the car is. The reason I say this is because say you're severely anti-Japanese or something, so you'd immediately hate a Japanese companies car. I would call this unreasonable, but not if its something that is almost universally accepted as crap (say a Yugo maybe).

Yep, I'm an indecisive bastard...

you are the one paying for it so it should be a decision that both you and your wife come too. i would have lost my temper in your situation.

btw. tell us the car.

BTW, no you're not being unreasonable. I have a certain breaking point for finances beyond which I will be a very unhappy person, and if mrsskoorb did that she'd have broken that point many times in a row. I'd probably actually die. Unless she came back with something ludicrous like a 350z and then I'd be just torn over the issue. But, considering you're now driving a scion xA, you're not being unreasonable.

ewwww, you boug ta new grand am? it could be worse...i suppose. A Pt cruiser is worse. A grand am is not a good car though. It's not embarassing, just not a good car.

Maybe she needs to stand up to her parents and tell them that you should have some input as to what car to buy.
Other than that I woudl be PO's too esp if i had to drive the damn thing... (i bet its a Toyota Echo)

Well, I think you're being semi-unreasonable. Grand-Ams aren't THAT horrible. They aren't great by any means (and you probably could have found something both you and her like better).

No offense man, but if they have had the propensity to do this in the past, then why did you let them go car shopping without you?

Yes you are being reasonable. Stand up for yourself, be a man! (yes, I am married... not sure I'd follow my own advice )

exactly how will you be obligated to pay for it..i mean you didnt sign on the dotted line did you?

so that means they or your wife took out the loan..

so then you make it a point that they or your wife be responsible for it, unless they or your wife want bad credit....

and sleep with her mom for good measure ..that way you kill two birds with one stone...your wife gets upset and so does your father in law

Take it back. There is NO reason to buy a brand-new Grand-Am. If you are buying a grand-am - get one a year or two old so you know which door is going to rattle. Make sure it's the passenger side that rattles(or atleast rattles louder than the driver's side)

<-sold lots of grand-ams to silly folks.

Oh and don't mind you can pick up a used one for like $2.

whats wrong with a grandam?
The fact that they arn't worth the money.

And the fact that it instantly depreciated by half its msrp the moment she signed the papers.

Ew, a Grand Spam? Ugh...I feel your pain.

if you have no voice in the picking the car, then your wallet also has no part in it either. You are justified in being pissed off esp if they are gonna make you pay.
