“If you get a hardtop for the TJ, I’ll consider daily driving it”.

Me: first of all, are you drunk? I don’t think you wanna do that. As cool as that would be and you would be wife #1 of DFD, it’s not exactly built to commute 26 highway miles every morning.

Wife: not drunk, I like driving it. I feel I’ve come a long way on stick. Why are you talking me out of it?

Me: what if I got you an S2K?

Wife: too flashy, you just want me to get that so you can have your car cake and eat it too.

Me: what about a new Miata?

Wife: maybe. Let’s test drive some.

All of this spawns over her not wanting me to get a motorcycle.

If this goes according to plan, the Howard’s will have a new Miata club, new Lotus Emira, and a 2000 TJ wrangler come this time next year.

Although the Trashawk it great too. 7 car household soon

I have, it just doesn’t inspire me. If I’m gonna spend 6 figs, I need it to be special and exciting. I think I’d rather have the M3 or melon spec BlakWang. Although I don’t like the white interior in the BW.

Kinda here for it. She brought it up after a few learning sessions in it. Kat rowing gears on 77, pulling up to Lowe’s corp in a turn of the century TJ, all while pretty much reporting to the C suite now.

I wouldn’t even want to do that in a TJ and clearly I give zero shits about comfort/convenience compared to even the sausage fest of DFD.

It truly is, cutting up is also a term too. They do it for social media clout. He even extensively rents from turo to do this same bullshit.

I just love getting buzzed by a broccoli going 90 in a rented AMG Benz Facebook live streaming and lane splitting on the garden state parkway when I’m in the CRV with my kids.

I hate that damn road. Every time I’m on it I have 3-4 episodes of this.

Dude, I had to drive it last week, made the trip from DC suburbs to NYC suburbs (Gaithersburg to Fairfield, NJ). I had like 7-8 Altima and Sentra episodes, one or two actual near death experiences. I always thought some of y'all exaggerated on the Nissan thing, but it was in full force and truly insane.
