ByronBayChris Posted 5December, 2013 Report Share Posted 5December, 2013 Told my totally uninterested wife that my 993 needed some engine work. Around $4-5k should do it was my response...... Then she says "Arrrgggghgggghhhhh. All that money spent on your cheap old Porsche, just go out and buy a new one. At least I like the new ones." So I fell over, got up, checked she was not taking the p155. Nope, she was serious So might be time to add another one (probs not a good time to show her a 356) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steiny Posted 5December, 2013 Report Share Posted 5December, 2013 Does she have a sister? Seriously though, its out there now - you just need to capitalise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveF Posted 5December, 2013 Report Share Posted 5December, 2013 I showed my also totally uninterested wife some pictures of a nice 996 today and she said, "I don't mind that one. At least it is more modern". Progress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted 5December, 2013 Report Share Posted 5December, 2013 Only flaw i see. If you keep the 993.. you still have the head issue.. Unless you slowly put money away for it and do it your self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZ930 Posted 5December, 2013 Report Share Posted 5December, 2013 buy the 356 and tell her its hers She will (hopefully) think its cute and you (technically) get both because who gets to look after them ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Man Posted 5December, 2013 Report Share Posted 5December, 2013 Persistance overcomes resistance!!! Only a matter if time until you wore her down. Now strike quickly and with no mercy before you get in trouble for something you have no idea about and the window closes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAFE Posted 5December, 2013 Report Share Posted 5December, 2013 I did that with my misses, waited until she lost her voice and mentioned over the morning coffee... "you don't mind if i buy a boat today do you?" Silence is as good as consent…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevepGT3 Posted 5December, 2013 Report Share Posted 5December, 2013 Steve you thinking she's been to the jewellers? Not sure, but if you read Chris`s book "if it sounds too good to be true, it`s probably a scam" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZ930 Posted 5December, 2013 Report Share Posted 5December, 2013 If she hasn't been to the jewellers yet, she certainly will be after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M Posted 5December, 2013 Report Share Posted 5December, 2013 Said to mine last week "Since you don't want to do our house renovations until you finish your degree in a couple of years, do you mine if I buy another old 911 and I'll just sell one when we are ready to spend money on the house?""Yes, that sounds like a good idea." was the response.Could have knocked me over with a feather!Maybe our wife's are related Chris?

76 C3.0 Posted 5December, 2013 Report Share Posted 5December, 2013 What ever you do don't mention the LCT the gov't collects from you for the new purchase. She may quickly change her mind & say that could be better spent on jewellery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tit Posted 5December, 2013 Report Share Posted 5December, 2013 Mine told me to get one. It had to be aircooled so we could wrench on it together. She likes old cars. When she told to get one I considered it my duty to married men everywhere to do as I was told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airhead Posted 6December, 2013 Report Share Posted 6December, 2013 Saw a Honda Fireblade advertised (Trading Post I think) ages ago. It said - Honda fireblade. Low ks. Must sell.

withers Posted 6December, 2013 Report Share Posted 6December, 2013 Wow! I'd never hear that at my house although I got a SMS the other day that said "black looks better than your silver Boxster" with a photo of a black 987 attached. So I replied with a photo of that white 911 Targa from the what's for sale thread stating that's my next Porsche. I got a reply back "I don't think so..."

Guest hepkat63 Posted 10December, 2013 Report Share Posted 10December, 2013 hmmm, my wife of 26 years said "ok, you go buy that Porsche - but don't expect me to get in it". Why not says I ? "There is only one thing worse than owning a Porsche - and that is breaking down in one" Ok, I still don't understand women.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
