I have a cousin who's husband shows up with stuff like this all the time. Once a 7 series BMW. *NM*

Copied this from Planet 9; one of those subjects that people joke about, but I know precious few people that have ever done this--successfully.

So.... if you were doing the video, what would the ending be?

No, never, not once. But only because my wife will never let us drive by the mechanic who has this really great 964 for sale, and I mean, it's cheap. Really almost free, when you think about it.

Luckily, I've never had to. Back in 1998 when I first mentioned getting a Boxster, she simply said yes, and she's not a car person. We had been married for 13 years at the time and were always a one-car family with no need for a second vehicle. To this day, we really still don't need a second car, but I'm on my third Porsche and original wife. She's on her second Prius and loving it. We tend to keep cars for about 6 or 7 years.

The M5 looks sedate and I don't think he's told her about the 560 hp and 500 ft-lbs of torque. She's even ok with him tracking it at Lime Rock. He had a 2006 Cayman S that was 50/50 with her and I think he's got a hankerin' for a 2013.

Our xmas present showed up today; pickup up tomorrow. My wife gets to drive it first.....................GR981

Merry Christmas, Mike!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just needs green wheels and you'd have a real Christmas baby. That's going to be some huge tree you'll need to get that package under it.

Looks great. Hope you've got your memory card emptied for lots of pictures I'm sure you'll be posting here.

Can't wait to hear your first impressions.

Thanks, Guenter--we're pretty pumped up..

Green wheels, huh--let me think about that one. I guess I'll be putting the tree up out in the garage...

I'm really interested in how this sport suspension will work compared to the PASM; well--I hope..

Best of luck with the new arrival, and rest assured that Guenter is GREEN with envy

Thanks Gary; my wife nixed the green wheels, but thinks a big green bow would work; I'll leave that in her capable hands.

" Our xmas present showed up today; pickup up tomorrow. My wife gets to drive it first.....................GR981" Nice. Enjoy in good health.

Just like I'm looking at yachts this week ... not buying ... looking. Just like I look at 918s.

"Honey, you've been looking at the want ads for 25 years, why not just go and buy one." from the car as appliance person in my life for 38 years. She got a mink coat out of it without asking. One secret of those 38 years ... the other is earn enough to afford it.

when he starts looking at a Boxster, and his wife walks in on him.

I just got the go ahead today for a Ferrari 308. It took weeks of very touchy negotiation!

I started a recent conversation with 'Honey, I'm thinking about my next car being 'Old American Muscle', what do you think?'. She said 'NOOOO....Not an old car!'. So, we went back and forth for a while, telling her my thoughts on the old muscle cars, etc. Finally, I said, 'Ok, well, how about a Porsche, Twin Turbo...'. She said 'YES, YES, much better'.

We then went on 'arguing' (discussing) which car we would sell. I said 'How does somebody start a car collection, if they have to get rid of a car every time they want another one.'. Her response was 'You don't need a car collection.' My response was 'Nobody NEEDS a car collection'.

Anyway, at this point, I'm still with my two cars, but the Twin Turbo - going to keep working that angle. I point out Muscle Cars all the time - saying 'I like that one'....I think this might work! Hehehe!

I was on the fence, my wife talked me into the Boxster and we've NEVER regretted it!

Mine told me that if I wanted a Porsche, to get it. I listened to her and we have not regretted it.

Driving a new-to-me '09S in Aqua Blue Metallic. It does .5 past light speed. I made the Kessel run in less than 12-parsecs.

Ed Helms is a pisser! Love that guy.
