What's your choice?

Sell the car, buy an 80s model Crown Vic, use the other $15K on energy bars and demand it 15-20 times a week.



Seriously, I'm not married, so I can't give you any advice.

From your attitudes, it's obvious that none of you are married I could: 1) Ignore her "request" and hear about it the rest of my life and lose my access to sex for the next few months. 2) Buy a new car, make her happy, have peace, be able to read the Sunday paper undisturbed, and get some 3-4 times a week. What's your choice?
I know marriage, and she owns joooo!

How about, "But honey, I thought you married me because I'm not the run of the mill Wally Cleaver who has to do everything by the book, never taking risks. You married me because I'm a "go getter", I'm not afraid to be unconventional. Sure, I could go out and get a station wagon and we could continue our pretty suburban safe and quiet life, but I feel YOUNGER driving this car honey, and that's what I want you to have - a husband who enjoys life and enjoys sharing that energy with his darling wife. Lets not cash in our chips now honey and live life like a couple retired old folks down in florida and the only fun they have is when they get together on Thursdays to play Bingo. Lets enjoy it! Both of us!

well, that was my best shot at 2:13 am.

I would never, ever let my wife handle any of my cars. I would be like "Listen b!tch, it's my car you only drove it for today. STFU and you will get your damn van back soon."

You are the DEFINITION of pussy-whipped.

you get the doug christie jersey...



I feel dumb, I live in Sacramento and I don't get it

Apparently it's great sport to mock someone who brings their wife with them on road trips, & communicates with her via hand signals while he's on the court.

Hmm...

I understand your situation. I would talk to her about it though. Communication is the key.

You could argue that due to its lightning fast acceleration, it's actually safer.

Giving someone a Christie jersey = equating them with what they consider to be the definition of "pussy-whipped." - Doug Christie.

If you don't have kids, I don't see why she wants you to sell it. How much of a loss are you going to take on a trade? Probably not gonna be worth it, financially. Compromise should be the key, not her dictating an edict, then withholding sex if she doesn't get her way. Not the type of girl I like to get involved with. Might be a clue as to why I'm single

No reason to be scare of her. If you give in now, she'll own you for the rest of your married life. She'll know she's won, and will make you do more of the same later. If you do sell it, then we all know who wears the pants in the family.

Well, I wouldn't be that blunt and rude with my wife... but I wouldn't give in. Be a man. You want something, you're gonna let her push you around? Well if that's how your marriage has been....

doesn't sound like a very even relationship. are you afraid of her? explain that her opinion is based on ignorance. well don't say it that way. a sharp knife is actually safer then a dull one since your less likely to slip and cut yourself from over exertion.

Few solutions:
1. Tell her to switch you cars...because you can easily turn it against her..."you're too boring, you need to drive something fun"
2. Withhold her sex...
3. As other have mentioned..go get a larger even faster car You could get a typhoon which is pretty fast and has rollover danger...then tell her to go drive your suv...
4. Have her go out and buy it...and it has to be worth as much as your wrx...as in she goes out GETS A JOB instead of mooching of you...and BUYS you a new car...and you get to keep the money you sell your wrx for...and buy a CROTCHROCKET

more than that...apparently she escorts him in and out of the locker/hotel room...to the point where he either does not have conversations with other females or avoids eye contact all together...from what i gather...
