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.

Yea...I just like having a pickup. I guess I should just go order the Gladiator I have spec'd out, and if she wants a truck too, then we'll just have two pickups.Apex wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2019 9:59 amJust buy yourDetroit wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2019 9:55 am

and
about her vehicle. She's a big girl and can make her own decisions.
Yea...it's getting ridiculous. When she mentioned the Macan last night, I just about lost it.max225 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2019 10:08 amDetroit wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2019 9:55 am

but expected .... convertible coming up
Next because she saw a movie and it looked fun.
How does she even know what a Macan is? They must be pretty rare birds out there

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.

Oh shit, the Stelvio. She liked that for a minute, but it was "too small" inside.
I found 6 purple JKU's near me, but they are all Sahara's. Do not want.

A few years ago, I leased a 2016 Silverado LT Double Cab 4.3 for $200/mo all-in. It became thestandard for lease pricing in the early days of DFD and was dubbed SMP (Silverado Monthly Payment). For a while we'd quote lease prices as a base of $200/mo...so a $300/mo lease would be 1.5 SMP.

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
