What is the Wife in?

Hi everyone, if you don't mind me asking for those who are married, what car does your wife have?

We are looking at getting her a new car and looking at the X5 and the Porsche Cayenne S.

Your opinion and what you purchased for her is valued, we coming out a mercedes ML and weren't too happy!

thanks!

lol...


Wife is in a GLK... once the lease is up, we'll be getting her a GL

Can you tell me why you are not happy with the ML? We skipped the ML for a few reasons but would like to know your thoughts

A CR-Z... and she digs it because her job requires lots of road travel. But a Porsche Boxster S is on the horizon as well.

'00 ML 430. Next will be an X5 35d. We were supposed to buy the X5 before I got a new car. I somehow convinced her otherwise. Now she is resentful about my C63. But it is worth it.

My wife drives my old 08 G35 Sedan, but I took her to the AMG driving academy and now she wants the 2012 SLK 55. Now we are keeping our eyes out for a used one.

She stole my built 1995 Nissan 300zx (614rwhp and 525rwtq) and modded 04' Ford F250 diesel. I kept the S55, modded 04' Suzuki GSXR-1000 and turned and bought an 00' Audi S4 that I have begun a teardown and complete build (600awhp is the goal).

Do you know why divorce is so expensive??

Because it is worth it....................................

My wife wanted an SUV. She needs to visit patients on some bad neighborhoods and any German SUV would be too attractive to some douche bags. So we bought a 2010 Murano. Really comfy car, adequate and good looking (for her at least). Just got hit by a teenager on a 90-ies Mustang 2 days ago. The Murano shove off the hit amazingly! Only the rear bumper cracked, but the Mustang was like an accordion. I thank god the moment we bought that car.

that's what typically happens when a SUV and a sedan collide. The sedan will pretty much always come out the clear loser in terms of damage.

Good to hear that she is ok!
