My wifes passion is horses, she owns five. These are champion horses which cost us big bucks. My comment to her every time I flip a car is you have your passion i have mine.

My wifes Passion is saving money- thats where we have an issue -flipping a car and losing 10K is a victory to me(drive a car for 2 years and only lose $10k are you kidding!) she thinks its a major waste.
So then talking her into a new one for $40K more is a major accomplishment for me. this is a woman who will spend 5 minutes in the bean section of Costco trying to decide which refried is less per ton
Rosarita or Kirland brand- with me draped over the basket beggging her "please can we move on to the next item?!" But hey she has her house and her place in the mountains and her 335i twin turbo so its not like she doesnt have any thing not to mention her new granite counter tops. But hey after 25 years of marriage you learn to adujust.

I couldn't stand hearing my wife continually refer to the ordered TT as "our car" so I took her to the MB dealership and told her to pick out "her car." She left with a SL550 and now doesn't call the recently delivered TT "our car." "My car" and "her car" cost me a lot but it's worth it me to not have "our car."

When you said you were going to get the mrs into DE I figured you might pick up a late model Carrera or something. 997TT.....that's beautiful. So when you bring up the idea of a GT3 for you this winter I'm betting that will be an easy sell.
