What does your sig other drive ?

[ChrisoftheNorth]

You forgot about the Stelvio.

And wtf is 1SMP

A couple years ago, DPlac leased a Silverado for the rate of $200/month. That monetary unit of measure became translated to DFD-speak as 1 Silverado Monthly Payment, or 1SMP, which = $200.

Example: Fucking just spent 1SMP on a shitty :hibachi: dinner, complained, and still took leftovers home.

I found 6 purple JKU's near me, but they are all Sahara's. Do not want.
Wifey is ZFG about heated steering wheels, does need heated seats doe. We could do a Sport, Backcountry, Rubicon all in purple. She really wants a purple JKU as her next


And here I've been thinking about dumping the for a TJ and a pre-owned or something.

A purple Backcountry would be

I wouldn't dump the truck, personally. They're way too handy to have around in the fleet, hence my current dilemma. You can wheel her JKUR.

This is all just musings in my head right now.

And I doubt I'd get to wheel her JKUR too often, she's going to be driving her rig.

The entire time? Do you even share motherfucker?

We take turns driving when we go wheeling. Actually works really well.

How does she even know what a Macan is? They must be pretty rare birds out there

She LOVES Porsche. Always has for some reason. She always tells me to sell the and buy a Porsche, it's weird. When we were in Stuttgart last December, she was in love with the Porsche Museum. They had a "dealer" setup across from the museum and we walked around their "inventory" (which was just the full lineup of their models) and she saw a Macan and was full She seriously wanted to ditch the rental Polo and buy a Macan to drive around and take back with us. Told her it didn't work that way and she was

Then locally Porsche for some reason has been advertising on TV and billboards a lot in the last few months. It's always a Macan with a 30-40-something attractive "successful looking" woman. The marketing must be effective, because she wants to be that woman I think.

THEN to make matters worse, this job opp came from a friend of ours who was promoted and wants Michele to work for her...has been saying it for years and now the opportunity is real. What does her friend buy when she got the promotion? A gently used 2017 Cayenne GTS.

So to recap:

She started by stealing the 1SMP from me at the dealer
Then the "need" for a heated steering wheel arose, and we got the Volt
The novelty of the Volt eating at work wore off so now she "hates it"
Stole the ZR2 from me, so I let her pick the next vehicle since it's going back...

Grand Cherokee is an old slow POS
RAM is amazing, but not "tall enough" for a truck (her words, I don't understand...she wants to "climb into the truck" the Ram is too low)
Wrangler would be great but needs to be "luxurious and beasty", making it a pricey proposition
Macan is the dream car and "always has been" apparently

I just can't anymore.

She needs to join the forum unlike our other sig others that’s what it sounds like to me

Mine would LOVE a purple Rubicon. But would need to be a JL because it MUST have a heated steering wheel, and JL's don't come in purple.

You legitimately cannot wheel a Macan. At all. So if mudslinging with her girl friends is what she wants to do that vehicle is a bad pick. Or will be spending a lot of time in service bays.



I dunno man I'd stay completely out of it. Agree on a price ceiling and let her get whatever the hell she wants to. She picks it out and deals with it.

There's no need for anything... I'm just playing games right now. Plus, is sticking around for awhile, only had it for 15 months.

We might start seriously searching for a purple next year doe.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

She goes on Facebook just to pick fights in local groups and make people She's a true troll. We have enough of those.

[fledonfoot]

We’re what she loves cuz it changes weekly breh, last time she “loved when the volt was drinking” something or other at her office

Yep, her preferences change daily. It's crazy. She's worse than I am when it comes to vehicles, and she only drives a mile a day.

HOWEVER ANOTHER WRENCH FROM LAST NIGHT

She has a line on another new job that would put her commute similar to mine. Double her current income, so now she's talking about a Macan because the company does a lot of work in Germany and the people she knows there drives Porsches.

I literally can't even anymore.

Show her this:

10,000 mile service: $480
20,000 mile service $1030
30,000 mile service $1080
40,000 mile service $2150
50,000 mile service $480 (start repeating above pattern from 50-80k)
Tires due usually between 30-40k $1400-1650 depending on brand, Alignment $279
Front brakes usually due around 30-40k and $1350, rear brakes around $950 and in the same ballpark.

I can lease a Macan GTS as an employee for $650/mo. Maintenance costs even as an employee drive me away.

She clearly has no idea what she wants. Problem is, I want us to have complimentary vehicles. I really want a 2-door JL for wheeling and fun...but we use the pickup a lot so I'd like one of those too. A Ram plus JL would be the PERFECT fleet for us IMO.

Just make sure whatever you get can tow the glamper and what she gets. Sounds like a JT is a good idea then. The Home Depot truck is $20 to rent for an hour and its generally a giant utility bed dumper in case you need multiple loads of wasteful river rocks.

Does it matter though? You're the target market for that vehicle, and better yet, you can afford it since you're not having kids. TREAT YO SELF.

WHich would you rather drive?

Just get that and let her do her thing, you can again if need be/rent a Home Depot truck if you'd like the two door JL. If you'd prefer the JT, just get that and if she gets or not. Really, the smart play is to let her however she wants and suffer the consequences, you just drive the olt until she cements her vehicle, then go off that. If she wants to change it up after that and it impacts your side as well, well that's on her at least?
