Jedi mindtrick...

Hi Forum,

A problem, so advice needed. Always said I would have a really nice convertible before 30 and purchased my very loved z4 at the start of the year. It's almost my dream car (couldn't afford a z4m).

Anyway, have two kids and despite this after much hoodwinking I managed to get the wife to let me have the car! Pat on the back and great that the kids and grubby hands can't be transported in my car. Wife drives a saab 9-3 convertible that all four of us get in. Problem, she hoodwinked me into agreeing to letting her and the kids have a puppy, which arrived last weekend. You know where this is going! Of course, my car is the least practical and I am coming under advanced women jedi mindtricks daily to trade mine for a more practical (yet bloody boring) car!?!?!?!?! She hints she likes X5's, and I do, but it's no Zed...

Help, what do I do?
 
You must resist and not allow those female Jedi like mind tricks to lead you to this...

Hi Devon-Doug
It seem a clear choice, the puppy, the kids and the wife or the Zed. I can't see your problem, I'm sure they will all be quite happy living with your Mother in Law.

Result more time for you in the Zed....... :driving: :driving:
 
Why not replace the Saab with the x5 your wife likes? Or have a 3rd car (3 series touring perhaps...) and put one car on limited mileage insurance.

The force is strong in this one... misdirected you she has. If she had come to you asking to change the Saab for an X5 would you have been slightly ambivalent and maybe questioned the expense? Instead she now has you thinking that buying he the X5 is the best way to save your beloved Z4!

Be careful though... housewives scare easily, but they'll soon be back, and in greater numbers.
 
I drive and X5 and a Z4. Makes the perfect combination of 2 cars with one for family, load hauling, holidays, etc. and the other for less practical, but economical and fun motoring.

My wife is convinced as a woman sh'e safer most of the time in the X5 and so we're all happy :)
 
“An X5 is the path to the dark side. No Z4 leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”
 
We got a puppy once. :|

Now my wife carts two labs and two jack russells around all the time and I ended up giving her my Nissan 4x4 which now looks like a pigsty on wheels - she has to shower and change her clothes before she gets in my zed. :)

I could never run any kind of quality car and stick a slobbering, stinking dog in the back, but thats just me - anything that sticks its tongue in its arse and then wants to french kiss you belongs in a barn frankly. :thumbsdown:

Tell her to trade her Saab for a Lara Croft Land Rover, women like that kind of thing apparently..... :thumbsup:
 
Get a £ 1000 banger for the puppy to destroy and you all to tonk about it, or lose the Saab ( they're nasty anyway),the Zed MUST stay...... :D My mate's just bought a 120,000 mile golf Tdi for a grand,and they use it for the school run and taking their German Shepherd out,it'll never get cleaned, serviced or anything,but it saves her nice SLK from being trashed.Don't forget, puppys chew stuff, don't leave it in any of your currect cars.
 
my dog fits fine in my zed. infact, I think it's positively more healthy for him than being in the back of an x5... what with all the fresh air and open space it offers.

I think the missus is not just being cruel to you, but also the new puppy!
Tell her to sell her landplane and get a 520d //m sport estate :P
 
Just waive your hands and speak in a thoroughly British accent "This Saab is not what you looking for, now move along"

Should work a treat
 
I put full size Golden Retrievers in my zed, one at a time mind you and they loved it. So did all the people that saw us. Fur doesn't stick to leather and a towel on the seat takes care of muddy paws. It has to be better than kids with sticky fingers and wives that think the car is an extension of their purse and Saab's do look more at home with lickmarks on the windows anyway.

Now I chauffeur my remaining golden in the M3, occasionally I let the spouse ride but only if she's cleaned up, LOL. Just kidding! She has a 325 Ci Cab and a black labrador so we drag them around in that one as well.

Ciao and good luck.
