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.
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.
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.

She needs to join the forum unlike our other sig others that’s what it sounds like to meDetroit wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2019 11:30 amShe 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.Detroit wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2019 12:08 pmShe clearly has no idea what she wants.

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?
