Two spousal rules:

It's always easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

You get into the same amount of trouble for stealing two cookies as you do for one cookie.

With that said, get two diesels!

I almost have my wife convinced to let me buy a third.

She's beginning to understand that we can use it as a backup vehicle while I'm working on one of the others. Plus we can always flip it if we need to.

BTW, she's totally fine with me getting a parts car to sit in the driveway as long as it stays covered when I'm not using it. So I actually almost have the OK for 4.

You're correct sir.

She already let me sell the 2003 Acura TL-S in favor of her "new" 1985 300CD. Luckily, the w123 addiction is taking hold of her too. I think she'd be ok with a 116 also.

Sure, come over for dinner sometime and we can make it look like it was "unplanned".

Nope ... she brings home the bacon and I cook it. It's great being a SAHD and "well fed" artist.

I have an Toy Hauler so it isn't so bad. I can move the ATVs out and sleep there and it is nice and warm.

How about this, when you two are getting your freak on, just before the moment, tell her. Either she will be too busy to notice or you will have one hell of a ride.

How about the "Look what I got as a surprise for YOU!!"

I have been thinking about getting her drunk and then putting her in the new car, when she wakes up yelling "Look at what you bought in your druken rage!"

That's and idea. Pretend to be pissed then say "All right. Just this once. NO MORE, UNDERSTAND."
