There's not a chance in understanding.

10 years ago my wife decides it's time to get rid of the 87' Tarus wagon. Great running and dependable but starting to rust. She had 8 grand to spend on a car. I started research and found a 72' convertable Cutlass w/air and a 70 Skylark GS stage II w/air in the budget. I tried to explain how they will serve her well, drive great, and actually gain in value. Her only words were "I want a new car". She goes and buys a new Corsica and regretted it after a few years.

So now it's time to get rid of the Corsica. I don't bother because for the last 2 years all she says is "I want a Blazer" I think "cool" I start showing her some nice pre 80's K5's.......Nope...."I want a new one"


The cycle repeats itself.

Now she has a new Blazer and worries about it flipping over.

Never marry an Italian.

This is undoubtedly the right answer if I want breakfast in the morning...But I can probably get to the restaurant with an SRT10...Now that would be nice.

Run dont walk to your nearest FORD dealer and buy her a Lightning!

You used "understand" and "her" in the same sentence.

Stop trying to understand and say "Yes, dear."

Repeat as needed.

Buy her a mini cooper and move on.....

She (the wife) caught a glimps of the new Dodge Charger on a morning TV show.
She says "I like that".
"What about the 300 or the Magnum?"
"Nah, They're ugly"
(?Blank stare?) I say, "But the Charger's grill looks like the pick-up truck" (SRT-10 is nice! Seen the yellow one yet? One of my customers has a 2004 limited edition silver one...whoa!! Guinness World Book of Records!!).
"Still better looking than that 300 or 3000 or whatever they call it."
(In truth, she actually wants a Mini convertible.)
Any preferences?
