I'll start. I'm divorced (which might be partly explained by the following story), but when I was married I bought an old Porsche by "borrowing" some money out of my daughter's college fund.

Wife=not happy. I mean, really really not happy. I recall hearing the word "Idiot" a lot around the house for the next few weeks.

So have any of you ever wanted an MB (diesel hopefully to keep this in the diesel section) enough to risk problems with the Significant Other? How long did it take until you were forgiven?
