Here's the big question Wife or car? - Page 4 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

We all love our wives, I am sure. It's just that some ladies by nature want their spouse to spend every moment with them (often in the mall).

In my case I'll go with the wife. Through the course of our marriage I've had/have many Corvette's and I was allowed to get them all after minimal amounts of begging. To date, she has let me have every Corvette I've wanted...but she did give me a definite "NO!" when I expressed an interest in a Viper...everyone has their limits I suppose.

It's better than the alternative...having a Corvette and then begging some woman to be my wife.

I married my wife back in 1990 - a full 9 years after I purchased by first Corvette - a 64 365. A few years into our marriage SHE encourages me to trade my 64 Corvette for the 67 435HP Corvette I have started think about. Then last year - SHE encouraged me to purchased my 95 Z to go along with the 67.

Hey, there are plenty of cars out there. I'll keep my wife (who also provided two wonderful kids as well).

I havent consulted one car purchase with my wife (girlfriend) I can buy what I want when I want with my money

Damn right!! I see absolutly nothing wrong with that logic. At the same time, she can do what she want's...I'm not her keeper. If she doesn't like it, I can have another set hanging over the sink tommorow. I always say...the door swings 'Both' ways, if your not happy here

Damn right. I mean my god! It's not like your asking her to envite her girlfriend over for a threesome or anything. But she has no problem reminding me that her money helped pay for that ZR-1 to. But when any of the cars breaks down guess who fixes them while she sits on her but and watches American Idol. But I do have twice the buying power being married.

I have a different problem. When I got my Z my wife loved it so much she said "you know those new ZR1s are really nice too, hint, hint". My only response was, you know we are in a bad recession right?

When its all said and done I'm sure we will all agree that its cheaper to keeper. "Oh hey honey! I didn't know you were standing behind me!"

I'm lucky. MJ bought #364 for my birthday in 1998. She didn't get upset when I started racing it, only asked that I get more life insurance. She bailed me out one time when I had too many to drink at a bar and couldn't drive, she got a ride to the bar and drove #364 in full race trim back to the house. She even semi-hammered it on Central Expressway and then looked down at 150 on the speedo and nearly croaked. I won't be trading her anytime soon.
