my wife made a confession to me last night - gutted....

You are complaining because your wife wants you to get rid of your French hatchback and buy a Jag v8?

yes, it's a clio. it's also a small hatchback with lots of bits stuck on it. to an old fart like me.

My wife says the same about my V8, but loves the Shogun.

The Shogun is, of course, much slower on the road, and has air-sprung front seats similar to a coach driver's seat. Add to that the fact that I don't bother flooring it because it's not going to be quick anyway, and she gets an altogether more relaxed ride.

I still have the V8, and I also have a toy that I can bury bonnet deep in mud when I feel like it.

This, I would suggest, is the answer for the OP. He keeps his Clio, his wife is happy, and he has a whole new motorised way to have fun. What's not to like?

gt turbo. god i used to love them.

[g3org3y]

pwn3d.

Never mind.

[Y282]

if it's your own money, i don't understand it. i never understand these "the partner wants me to change my car, that i bought and maintain with my own money" threads.

If she feels sick she feels sick - the OP is hardly being under the thumb for taking her feelings into consideration (besides, he doesn't want vomit inside the car ).

A similar thing happened to my wife where my driving style changed in more sporty cars. It wasn't the car per se, so maybe the OP should try driving in a smooth, relaxed manner in the Clio and see how that goes before thinking of selling it.

I kinda feel sorry for some of you guys, getting hassle from your lady friends about cars.

My girlfriend is perfectly reasonable when it comes to my car choices. Seems like we're in a minority of lucky ones.

Keep both.

Just drive the car slowly when she's in it.

whatever happened to the days of real men and spaghetti westerns? slap her around and tell her to be quiet. Keep the car.

Are you sure it isnt just your driving ?

[Old Trout]

I think we need a picture of her to help us decide whether you should keep her or the car.
