Are you 12? I'm not sure at what point in your misogynist brain cramp of a life that:

1. I implied I or my wife controlled the other.
2. That there was any need for you to insert your negative bull**** drama on a lighthearted thread. Now that you have why don't you go sit in the corner and STFU like any other moronic child.

Less drama here...
"Can you give me a ride to the Porsche dealer? I bought a 911 Targa"
"Sure"

Actual exchange, a year later...
"What car did you take?"
"The 911 Targa"
"Oh, I forgot you had that car."

When you're married for 30 years, stuff hits differently. LOL

Two weeks before taking delivery, I mentioned it. She only asked if I had the money for it.

I've been married for 25 years. When my wife found out I ordered a car because of the deposit receipt I left on the counter, she just shrugged and shook her head. I love that woman!

How did you get PTS after April production?? We had a September TGTS allocation the dealer traded for a T4S allocation that was built in April so we could get the color she wanted..

All the work of my sales advisor. It took him a long time to work with Porsche to be able to coordinate PTS and
European Delivery before conclusion of 992.1 Targa production.

I'm so jealous. My Targa GTS goes into production in a couple days, I would have loved for it to be in Aetna blue...

Congratulations!

Ya, my wife would cut me off as we well. The Porsche is probably worth it though, and pornhub is always an option......

Does your wife control your entire life? This is not funny but disgusting that a guy has to ask his wife for permission to buy a car.

I somehow convinced my wife to let me buy my 911 while she was 7 months pregnant.
