Here's what I've got so far:

1. I'll let you sit on the hood, and take pics of you. You can post that on your Facebook and it'll REALLY make your friends jealous.

2. My old car is about to die, so I'll need a new car to go to work. What - YOU wanna get up at 6am and take me to work?? Didnt think so.

3. We don't need 5 seats, our kid can ride up front with me, I'll just tint the windows and drive really slow.

4. It'll give me something to do while your watching soap operas, so I wont bother you.

5. Because its a really small car - the insurance will be alot cheaper, and the cops radar gun won't pick it up (Bullsh!t)

6. We NEED 330+ HP because, other people can't drive and if I don't have the power to merge quickly or change lanes quickly, I'll crash. And die. Then what will you do??

7. I've wanted a Z since I was 2 years old. And I've been working so hard since then (shed a tear) I think its time I rewarded myself. (more bs)

I think I'll need a bit more. What have you guys tried???

What is your present car,make/model/year?

Keep one or both. You've got a car for the family, plus room for shopping,hauling stuff around!
If you can afford it go get the Z!

I bought her 350Z so she is ok if I am getting 370Z.

You could buy her a diamond ring packaged in a Diecast 370Z.

Uxoriousness in today's marriages is exactly why I'm not married. Well that and the high divorce rates and female centric divorce laws. The gf has no say in how I spend my money so that's a non issue. Sorry OP and the other married guys, but thanks for the LOLZ. Hope your schemes work out and the wives don't get mad and withhold sex from you guys.

boys boys boys. Keep that pimp hand strong. god gave you a set of balls so you could be the man. Say "look women come here for a minute and stop cleaning the oven. See this car i'm getting it. NOw i need beer get me one" see simple.

ps: ha if i did that my wife would have me by the nuts and no sex for like a yaer lol

nogoodname · 12-19-2008, 03:33 PM

Hell has no fury like a woman scorned

Give her two documents.
1. A sales contract for the 370
2. Divorce paperwork

Then tell her you're going to sign one of them, and she can pick which one.

Just kidding, I really wouldn't recommend that approach ... but you would be my hero if you did.

shumby · 12-19-2008, 06:39 PM

man the devorice would cost you more than the Z

frcefed · 12-19-2008, 07:06 PM

Call Her one day and tell her you just bought it.
Wait for the reaction

If she loses it tell her you were kidding. But at least it opens the door to discussion.

If she says sweet I can't wait to see it, then go buy it.
