I think it speaks volumes that you still have your W221. There is something special about that car that's hard to let go of.

Just make sure she is happy all around and you'll be happy and able to do what you want lol.
I guess after having 7 cars in the last 12 months, she is just used to it now lol. She knows it's my hobby and she respects that...When I told her I needed her to drop me off at the airport because I found a car that I am going to go buy and drive home she was fine with it lol. I was shocked... I guess she knows I buy my cars from FL and it's no longer a surprise to her.

It works the same way on a CPO car. The dang warranty is up and it's gotta get traded. It helps if you tell her when you bring the car home that you won't be shopping again for another three years or however long the warranty is. Then the expectation is set. Six months out, I remind her that the end of the warranty is coming. Then it doesn't look like I'm an impulsive retard with the attention span of a toddler and excellent credit.
Personally, 36 months is about my limit before I really want something different.

I'd still be driving my E60 M5 if I didn't have to listen to my wife complain about it every single day for the 18 months I had it. Then I sold it and bought the S600. Now she complains quite a bit less....but there is always complaining when it comes to cars I buy....especially ones that aren't Honda Odyssey's. She can't figure out how to drive anything else. Even the S600 has her dumbfounded. She broke the shifter off the first time she drove it. Needless to say, I don't let her get behind the wheel very often. She's a very intelligent woman, but is a total car-tard.
