You guys are too lucky.  My 39 yera old red headed wife has her hands full
mothering a 5 yer son and a 22 month old daughter.  No time for me...all I
get are those withering looks and the occasional "It's your money..".  Then
I know I'm in trouble big time!  She is more actively lobbying for me to
sell the Ur-q as it sits in the garage most of the time.  But it's okay if
I replace it with an S4 IF I can show her where the money for the car and
the insurance will come from.....something like when she fell in love with
the then new 300ZX turbo and told me that I could buy one...if I sold the
Ur-q.
