Its nice to be supported. My wife doesn't "get it" but always allows me the freedom and let's me know its OK to enjoy things I like.

Sounds like you have a great wife too!

Tough call because although it's made for a man. the appeal has to be for the woman.... so it smell like shoes

The idea is to get the man into to the smell so that he is compelled to visit his nearest Porsche establishment to make a large purchase.

Sounds like you have a great wife too!

Ive allways given this excuse.....you want me happy in the garage....or looking for happiness in the street ?

Then prior to a purchase Ill look at something out of my budget....I threw a 2004 gt3 at her...at 50k....then I "settled" at a 996 at half the price.

Overall shes very understanding....but sometimes she gets into these moods.

I'm surprised you haven't already modded that sucker - maybe throw on a different cap, or a spray nozzle that increase the volume of cologne 3x....at least put a carbon fiber wing on it somewhere.

You should have started out with a $325K Carrera GT, then you would have had to "settle" for a new 2010 GT3 at 35% of the CGT price.
