Default Here's a good one

My wife drives a 2018 M/B C 300 cabrio...(now at 7,000 miles,) "WE" just leased a 2019 Macan S (for me!) I loved my 07 BMW 530xiT (Touring/Wagon) but she fell in love with the Macans at Parade.
Today she was running errands and took MY Macan.... she loved it....Oh OH...I really DO NOT want the Convertible....
SHE IS NOT GETTING "MY" MACAN

Sounds like you might be leasing another.......

My wife has an E400 Convertible, nice car, but so sterile to drive vs. a Porsche. Quite the amenities list, including massage seats. I'll take my Porsche over it any day.

It's gone, dude. She 'owns' you and the Macan. Hope you like driving the Mercedes.....

Wait for it: it's raining honey. And I realized you spent all day detailing it. But, I'd feel so much safer in the Macan. Don't you love me?

We have a ONE car garage...guess which is inside....so, hers will be inside and the Macan gets detailed 4 times a year....(but it's always dirty anyway)

Looks like you have room to add on. Time to break out the plans.

Took me 2 weeks to realize my '14 E550 Cabrio was a mistake. Fast from a traffic light, but no fun otherwise. I sucked it up for 2.5 years until the right 911 came along. Just nothing attractive about the MB product line, and the current styling leaves me cold.

The 2018 C 300 cab (wifes) seems "faster" than the 2019 Macan S ?? (seat of the pants 0 to 40 mph)

Not surprising, but that is one facet of the performance envelope. The E550 twin turbo V8 was a monster, but occasionally you could find severe turbo lag. Maybe the C300 is more fun on the mountain roads than my Merc, it was a handful.

I would order a Filet and my wife would order a New York.
Both meals would come to the table.
Wife would then announce. Yours looks better, lets trade.
I would get the NY.
Now, I just order what she orders. Now I never loose my meal.

o/p - You are doomed.
Any car is only yours, if you need to extinguish the need gas light or an impending service or repair.

As nice as the C 300 Convertible is, I like my MACAN S much better...However, she mostly likes to take the top down, so I guess I.m safe...

No doubt, top down driving can be awesome, but nothing beats the Porsche for fun.
