The Things We Do for Love

Today, I parted with my RX-8, along with my 2001 Miata SE and a 2000 BMW 323ci. My wife was hell bent on moving into a much smaller house and buying a fancy SUV for her to drive. I'd lose my garages and decided to give up the cars since two was the most we'd be able to keep. She got her SUV and I began the painful process of downsizing. I traded all of those cars plus a bit of cash for a Lincoln MKT.

I bought the RX-8 in 2010 and had a blast with it. I didn't drive it that much, but each time was a treat. I'll remember that car very fondly. The only repair over that time was the replacing coils. It didn't require more than the usual maintenance.

She promises that I'll get "double and triple humped" in the future to show her appreciation. Mixed emotions indeed...

You'll get your cars back right after the menopause thing. No deals, no brokering, no tricks, no games. You will finally be free. Heh!

My wife knows better than to mess with me and my 8! She's been trying to get me to get rid of my '03 Nissan Frontier but it's been paid off for years now and it's still running like a champ.

Then I caught her spending $65 on makeup and $160.00 on a hairdo.
So I asked her how come I had to give up stuff and she didn't.
She said she needed the makeup and hairdo to look pretty for me.
I told her that was what the beer was for.
I don't think she's coming back.

Wow, really? Grow a pair, she wants something tell her to get a ****** job.
Double and Triple humped? Better get a foursome with two of her hottest friends on demand for the rest of time. Even then still not worth it, Jesus.
Some peoples kids...

Also, cars don't cheat on you, so you can keep them forever if you want.
True story.

You traded all those great cars for a freaking Lincoln?

She's got an SUV for crying out loud, keep one of the sports cars. There's no reason to buy a sedan. It's redundant.

Perhaps this event will inspire the forum owner to create a new Sticky entitled:

Wall of Shame: Why I got rid of my RX-8 when I really didn't want to.
