I didn't have to. My wife was all for me buying it. She fell in love with the car at the dealership when the engine fired up and the exhaust began it's song.
She's a keeper - the wife. The car? At least for now.

She says over her dead body. She says they are ugly, expensive to maintain and nothing but a ***** extension.
Is she implying that's a bad thing?
Forgiveness is always easier than permission. Well, if not easier, generally quicker. But seriously, as long as your house is in order, and she has the things she needs for security, and God Forbid she has enough shoes, holiday decorations, and clothes, the Porsche ALMOST balances the equation.
Go forth and recreate! By the Porsche!

You might not want to read the April issue of Motor Trend. Z06 vs 911 Carrera S and Cayman S vs Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Embarrasing for Porsche. I have yet to see a head to head between Porsche and Chevy where the Corvette didn't send the 911 home with a sore rear end.
Don't let your wife read it. You'll never hear the end of it.

over her dead body!! buy it anyway. she will get over it. Thats how it happened for me I bought an 81 924na (yeah yeah I know not a real porsche thing lol ) but you know what she supports the fact now that I want to perhaps get into a 911 next. You only live once enjoy yourself.
Some women like to be in controll and need to be reminded that it doesnt always go thier way.
