Speed6 envy, trade? (joke... sorta:)

[kickniteasy]

on a related note.....my girlfriend "thinks" she can drive a stick. The couple times she's driven my car with me in it she's about made me cry. She says she only messes up because I make her nervous, but I'm pretty sure she just can't drive it. Our conversations usually go something like:
"Can I borrow your car?"
"No."
"But I let you borrow my jeep."
"Yeah, but I can drive an automatic no problem"
"I can to drive a stick, I just get nervous when you're in the car."

My wife wants to learn how to drive a manual. Her reasoning is when we buy a car, it will be around $1000 cheaper to get one. Too bad I have to teach her in my MSP, but fortunately I have an Exedy clutch sitting in my garage waiting till my stocker dies.

OK, no more of this BS about you'll understand when you're married.

My wife does as she is told, doesn't talk back, and takes care of everything for me.

There's a trick guys. Be good husbands, and she'll do anything.

You don't have to do girly s*** ever again. You'll never have to compromise again. If you make her life so easy and care free that she can't compain she won't ever give you s***.

My wife doesn't have to pay for anything, she works (because she wants to) a very low stress, easy job a couple days a week, she also goes to school for fun, she has a brand new vehicle, a house, lot's of land, a dog, a baby on the way, and basically everything a girl could want. You have to spoil them rotten, then you'll get what you want, how you want it every time.

You just have to make them see how appreciative they should be to have a good man.

Now that bike ad was funny! This reminds me of when we bought the MSP. I dropped off my wife at the dealer because I had to go to work, told her to finish the paperwork and told her sink or swim when it comes to driving a manual. Today she loves the MSP and didn't even want to trade it in for a Speed3 when I offered to do so. Plus when she takes the Speed6 to work, there's no worries. Teach your wife how to drive a manual, she'll never want to go back to anything else.

My woman helps me with the color choice....that's it. The rest is my decision. The money it costs, is "our" decision but usually comes down to me anyways since I watch the money. She has her things where I basically just pick the color too, the car is just my area, some things are just hers. That being said, we do only have one car. So I try to pick something I think she'll enjoy driving. Years ago, I said standards are what I drive. She knew this before she knew I didn't want children ....and it's never been a problem. I simply taught her how to drive one....in someone else's car.

I am not married. But have been with her 10 years as of Oct 3rd. We are on our 2nd home now and lived together for 9 years. So we are basically married without the paper work. Relationships are certainly about compromise, but if one person is always taking without giving something in return expect the worse. A woman....or man should not be TOLD what to do by the other EVER. She gets somethings, the man gets some things. I don't believe in "spoiling" anyone and think it is very easy to go to far with "spoiling" people these days.

Dood, I certainly would not have gotten a CX-7 if she had her own car anyways, sorry, but it would not happen. If you only had one car, that's a different story. Trade that b****...the cx-7 that is too hard on gas anyways.

that being said, there are advantages to a CX-7. Have you spent anytime with a MS6? is this one of those times where you "think" the grass is greener on the other side? Are you really a car person or a suv person now?

How's that any different?

She get's what she wants, I get what I want. She does laundry, dishes, housework, etc., I pay the bills, and buy her things. Give and take.

Simple. Keeps us both happy.

Compromise works in different ways for different people. This way works for you. In my situation, my wife makes more than I do. Not alot, but about 1-2K a year, so together we make six figures. I drive a CX-7 and honestly, not the worst thing in the world; I could be driving a minivan or getting less (idhitit)!

certainly true. I had a CX-7 for a few days off and on. I friggin loved it, it was awesome. I didn't want to give it back. However the gas mileage really killed it for me, but certainly a fun dare I say it...suv'ish type vehicle. I don't think I could ever own a explorer or any true SUV. But the CX-7 I could easily drive everyday.
