Seriously? You're basically asking for marriage advice or just want random attention on this silly question.

I got the M5; she is getting a Kawasaki Mule. We have very different tastes in transportation, to say the least!

So I decided to keep the M5 and tell my wife to take a hike.. I’m gonna give the co-worker a test drive see how things are with her.. I’d rather trade the wife in than the M5

As I've said before...total instigator. Thanks for the continued entertainment. Make sure you take her out when it's snowing and you are driving on your summer tires. After the accident follow up with a law suit to the dealer and BMW NA! Sorry had to beat you to the punchline...

My wife has a lot of bags.

Pics of the 812, F50 and GT2 RS bags please? I'm just curious if they scale in price with the cars

Make sure the pics are with the cars - I'm keen to see some of your garage Sylvain

Haha, I know what bags she gets as much as she knows what cars are in the garage.

Lol I only drive one car but I've educated the GF well enough that she spotted when I changed to Michelins from Pirellis

That's impressive. I probably wouldn't even notice if someone swapped my tires overnight without telling me.

Sounds like she is using logic in her latest decision making process 😬

No one else did. I hope these don't stop. It's truly entertaining.

To be fair I spent from May to July going sideways in 2nd gear everywhere with the Pirellis - so when it started hooking up in 2nd she asked what had changed

I have that issue with shoes. It's in the triple digits. How does anyone keep track of that?

Do not sell.

But you have to start spoiling your wife.
Pampered Wife = Freedom

So true. It seems to work--pretty easy to spend whatever you want on a car, if every time your wife asks for something the answer is always yes. I'm still learning this though.

Simple.

If she keeps it up I may have to buy a M8! Just to piss her off more.. her complaining fuels my fire!

Bimmer6 · 12-09-2018, 07:23 AM
