so the wife asked to borrow the wagon for a day since she would have our 3 kids + 3 nieces/nephews for the day. That day turned into 4 days since i used it as an excuse to put my 6 door back on the road. thanks to the cushiony feel and smooth riding that i let her get used to, i've been demoted to the cavalier. i can't even argue because my commute is long and she's already been kind enough to point out the $ that would be saved in gas. Never again. Maybe i'll use this as excuse to search for another wagon.....
You got bit by the Honey I want your car syndrome. Now go out and buy a 50's or 60's wagon and make her drool.
Look on the bright side, now you are justified in getting another wagon, and it's her doing. Well played! David : )
i've already put that out there. now she'll have no reason to give me static. then again, she doesn't need reason, she just does.
Great maneuvering on your part. Get her hooked, then start with one not too bad one. Then a little later another, and another, and..........
I've been lamenting the fact that my wife is terrified of the idea of driving my Olds...maybe i should consider myself lucky. Still, I wish she was as into it as I was. I'd want her on my side in a fistfight, but the prospect of driving anything larger than her Sebring gives her the vapors...
I have the opposite problem, my wife won't go near the Fairmont wagon now that she has a b-body. Especially with the new Bilsteins... She says it still smells funny. I'll have to admit it does have that barnyard air about it.
How would you feel if you were a 14 year driver with no accident record, driving in the second largest city in Mexico with a 4-speed, and you hadn't driven in almost 15 years? That's my wife! She absolutely refuses to drive an automatic! She's one of the best drivers I've ever known. Careful, quick to react, and smooth. She wouldn't co-drive from Guadalajara to here - 2,600 miles! Did I mention that she's stubborn? I know that when I change the car to the Turbo/Stick, that I'll be walking, more than driving. OR... Get another one!
Won't work. She loves the FairStang wagon! And you know she'll love it even more with a 170 HP turbo on a stickshift. This momma knows how to burn rubber. Monterrey Mexico is 6 million people all in a rush 24 X 7. I drove through it once with the trailer on, even after driving through Guadalajara's 4 million people city, and its worse than LA or Seattle. It's rush hour all the time in Monterrey. She knew the quick way home. Its like an eternal Formula race. The only thing that will keep her from flying low are the speed cameras at the intersections.
