Default Wife Cost Me My A4

I found a great deal on a 01 1.8t with 5 speed. I had cloth seats and 107,000 with a timing belt done at 80,000.

My wife balked and it sold 2 hours before I got the green light.

T least since you have the green light now, you won't have to wait to pull the trigger on the next one.

You don't need a green light if it's your money and your car to be. If you think you do or she insists that you do, then you've got much bigger problems.

In a marriage any major purchase should be discussed. It's not so much a matter of permission as of respect.

Telling is fine and asking an opinion is fine (and good), but needing to get permission to buy something for yourself? Any woman who thinks she has some sort of say in that is a woman not worth having.
