Wtf is this?

 

Sure it makes sense in case for a utility-only ride to work.

All aftermarket stuff is piggyback at this point.

That's all that is available for purchase but the S55s ECU encryption has been cracked and it won't be long before several vendors are field testing 'flash' tunes.

 

nice choice! the new bmws are impressive and that means a lot because i am not a big fan of German cars. they are making impr4essive numbers with just basic mods. post pics when you get it!

 

Haha. No, it says, "your opinion and input is secondary to my own desires" or that ,"it's my money so I can do what I want with it, thanks for being a spectator to my life choices and a warm place for me to put my ding dong a few times a week." :-)

Every relationship has its own stride, but my relationship with my wife, by design, is definitely a partnership. And my opinion on this has nothing to do with how much we earn, and I should also point out that I am definitely in the camp of people who speaks of our household income as "our money." There's none of that, "You just stay at home and I actually earn a living," bullshit in my marriage. My wife earned a very good living but we chose to have her do something more important than practice law; raise our daughter. I'm not about to punish her for a choice we made together, nor am I willing to marginalize her by sending signals that my opinion is more important than hers.

I get it, there are engrained gender roles that create very real and, in my opinion, acceptable double standards, so I don't want to give the impression that I'm advocating some women's lib, we're all equal agenda here. Clearly that's not the case. It's just that I don't think that taking a paternalistic approach to marriage is helpful for the marriage. It's plenty helpful at making guys feel like a big shot and showing your buddies what a big swinging dick you have, but I didn't get married to have a readymade contestant for all matters of debate or a platform to make me feel like I'm a big deal. I got married to have a partnership with someone whom I consider to be my equal. Once I found such a woman, I yanked that shit off the market quick, fast, and in a hurry.

But if the Russians invade tomorrow or something like that, sure, I'll be all like, "Woman, make me some stew before I go crush some skulls." It's about finding the right balance.


Also, I am in no way insinuating that Joey Balls is engaging in any of the negative stuff I described above. I wouldn't do what he's doing regarding the car, but I don't want my above soapbox speech to be misinterpreted as an accusation against him.

It was a joke (obviously) - you ruined it with this massive reply.

I'd never buy a car that expensive without discussing it with my wife first (in general, if not specifically) to make sure we're on the same page. I usually start 12-24 months before I actually purchase so that she has lots of time to warm up to the idea.

 

Well then, you have plenty of time to warm her up to the idea of the all new 2017 NSX!

I wasn't suggesting that YOU were being serious, brainiac.

I know. But you quoted me, which ruined my comment.

Just stop, okay! Sheesh!

 

Ha - that will be the day. I'd have to be making serious coin ($1M+ a year) to spend $150K on a car. Just not worth it, otherwise.

I'll gladly settle for a 997 GT3, 991S or C7 Z51.

 

and that's in Canadien dollars!
