Ok it's a silly sounding title. (Husband or Car equally works)
But I've been in this situation to make a choice. I chose the car and never looked back!! ha. In life we all love our toys on our hard earned. What do you have which is a non-negotiable? As in it stays with you regardless?! Cars, bikes, whatever, something special to you? ps; fun thread, in good spirit Last edited by MercuryT; 07-02-2020 at 11:44 PM. |

Haha I would choose my wife! I got a good one, and my car isn't that flash. Can't think of anything I have that is non negotiable (except the kids/wife), all else is just material.
In saying that, when I eventually get an XC Cobra 351 4-speed all bets are off... |

Cars and boats are cheaper. Got rid of the wifw and its still costing me. Found a much younger better looking lady, but cant see her being any less to maintain.

women married or not are going to cost you for the "pleasure" of their company  you either pay as you go or pay at the end

If a woman makes you choose, choose the other. The one that doesn't make you choose is the one to keep.
I had a different problem. My ex kept encouraging me to buy toys. One of those I bought in 08 for 12 is now worth about 35. Always thought she was the brains of the operation... |

Only a low quality woman would be willing to ruin a relationship over an inanimate object.

I sat mine down early in the piece to watch Love The Beast. She got it pretty quick.
She watched and helped me build the Escort, she's a part of it's story now and drives it herself with pride. I won't part with either of them.

She did a youtube tutorial the other week and swapped out the thermostat in the washing machine. If I hadn't already I'd have proposed on the spot.

My wife keeps asking why I don't help with the grocery shopping like I used to years ago...I didn't want to tell her it's because we had a G6ET and it was the only time I could drive it... at night, quiet roads and cooler weather...sold the car and still have the wife and i'm just as happy until I see photo's of the G6ET come up on my pc's screen saver...

The old saying regards the three ”Fs”..if it flies, floats or err you work out the latter it will cost you money. Hey, can’t take it with you
Not negotiable is my old XM Coupe, first car I bought, too much fun, too many memories, I’m not letting it go. It’s getting the makeover when the ute is done. I’ll be into the flying side of it then. Luckily my better half likes me doing stuff, gets me out of the way and gives her some peace for girly stuff. I know I need garage time and space for my own sanity, not doing this stuff to me would be like amputating certain essential body components. Having an understanding other half makes me feel lucky, I gave her the drum early on so she knew what I was like and she was cool with it...whew. |
