It's still a sore point that now and again comes up if we're fighting, especially as I now have to drive her crappy Corsa, but at the end of the day a worthwhile sacrifice (just don't tell her that, OK?).

When my wife starts paying for the house, 3 cars, jet ski, boat, electricity, insurance, credit cards, cell phones, or anything else than she can start having a say in what I spend on Golf, computers, video games, and whatever else I decide to buy.

My husband tries to bring up all of the insurance and legal issues as well, but I'll just get on the net and search up everything I can on whatever issue it is that he is currently b*tch*ng about and prove him wrong. He hates it when I do that, but he's learning. For some reason he absolutely hates any foreign cars, and has threatened to take a sledge hammer to my Prelude. He's always complaining about how much trouble it is, when it has broken down once in the 2 years I've had it, while his Ford Bronco has been parked longer than I can remember.

Ford owners NEVER learn. Take my word for it. :o I know a guy w/a $35,000+ FORD FOCUS ZX3!!!!!!! They are always right, and especially if they're guys.

My car causes me problems whether at home or on the road :o


So this week's Neon Drama Award goes to an O2 sensor. Last week it was a coolant temp sensor (don't buy sensors from Autozone btw).

No problems at home for me, my parents support whatever I want to do to my truck. My dad really likes the H2 and my mom doesnt and when I said it doesn't really matter what you think b/c its dads money and hes the one driving it, she got rather pissed at me. And my dad just chuckled like he always does.

Never? That's why I am getting rid of my Focus right?
I am going to get a younger sibling for my Impreza.....just got to decide how much I want to spend at which Subaru dealer.....

The ZX3 is a nice car as long as there is nothing going wrong with it, meaning it is seldom a nice car.....

So you going to rephrase that last statement Miss Saturntangerine?:o

Reading all this makes me quite glad of my parents and their attitudes on things.

Mom never dared throw anything away that she wasn't absolutley sure was trash without asking me what it was. Most times I could identify it immediately, so none of my stuff went the way of the dumpster unless I put it there.

My wife, now....
She has her "pay attention to meeeeeee!!!" moments, but they're beginning to lessen now. Trick is, get her to enjoy what you enjoy. She used to verbally scalp me everytime she caught me watching WWE programming(no bad comments please, I've heard them all). After a bit, she would watch it when I did, but only to complain about how stupid it was. Then she'd holler "kick his arse!" every now and then. Then she started having her favorites, and now she may enjoy it even more than I do.

Hey, I hear you on the WWE, I've got every pay per view and RAW on VHS tape (self recorded) since 1992!! I enjoy WWE with my husband, and usually for a few days after a good pay per view, he's pretty decent about my car. Video games are another big thing, I'm a huge collector, and thankfully, so is my husband. We've got 2 tv's in the living room so that we don't even have to fight over the systems. All in all, it could be a lot worse, but if I want to go out and work on my car, I just put one of his fav. games in the machine and a controller in his hand, and he'll be content for hours (sometimes days...)

You're smart. You live in PA. That, and I know approximately where you live so the threat of me beating you up (JOKING) is greater for you than other members.
