Default Wife has finally got her way!!! (sellin cos for porsche)

Title edited by popular vote!

As some of you guys know, I have been toying with the idea of buying a new car (in this case a 996).

Wife has put foot firmly down and told me the cossie must go!

I tried the whole "It isnt worth anything like as much as I have put into it" thing, but she has had the last word this time.

Aboslutely gutted, but such is life.

Check out my ad all those interested in the correct section (cars for sale!)

In the meantime- your deepest sympathies please!

Aboslutely gutted to be frank.

Tried absoutely everything to convince her that it wasnt worth selling, but she just aint having it this time!

Had the car for no less than 12odd years!

You are all absolutely right! ROFOL at hitman, but I really do want that Porsche!

Genuinely interested if people think the price is therabouts though. I have avoided asking this because I know the reaction it usually gets!

why do you have to do what your wife says? surely you have just as much right to keep it?

Some of you fellas really need to stick up for yourselves a bit more!


*EDIT* I have just read your for sale ad and it would appear that what your wife has said that if you want a Porsche the cossie has to go!! this would seem a bit fairer and i can now see her point!

if this is the case you should amend your initial post as it looks like your wife is just ordering you to sell the Cossie!!!! lol

Also to add, Wife making me sell - could fund in other ways. Hence her fault LOL

To be honest, I don't mind in short term, but after the porsche gone, will have no decent car

There is NO way i would sell my car because the missus told me to!!!!

I'm quite lucky that she's into cars and loves the saff (almost) as much as me but i'd only ever sell it if i got bored or was in severe dire straits!!

Tell her to sell all of her shoes!! lol

JJ,
At least we know who wears the trousers in your house-hold .

Luckily, as much as Jen hates the "money-pit", she understands that it serves it's purpose and anyway, she won't let me have a mistress .

I agree, Mike - though to be fair given the car that I am thinking of buying, I think it becomes harder to justify.

Rich

I am looking at a 996 Turbo!

My misses wouldnt dare tell me to sell my car. Cause she knows how much i love my cossie. The only way it would go is if i sold it for another car. Ive got her trained well. But if i was in your shoes i would be gutted.

People are missing the point... he's selling an old saff to buy a 996 turbo for fuck sake!!!! Surely that will be more satisfying to own.
