I had this once when I was between contracts. Ever since, I have just bought and turned up. Obvs everybody's circumstances are unique, but I think she's used to it now.

I do agree though, it's not worth massive agro.

I must admit mine is a goodun prior to buying the C7, she asked me if 'I was going to f**k this one up too', she thinks me modding the C6 caused all the issues, 'no love' was my reply, whilst I was the surfing the interweb for re-maps and wheels Image

You've got to choose wisely. Version 1 would have given me this level of shyte but V2, even after 10 years, just lets me get on with it. In her eyes, it's just a car. So I have a TVR, and RS4, and get to thrash a mate's 4,500hp triple turbo tractor on weekend jaunts in Europe. It just takes time.

Dread to think what switching cost you so early on. Genuinely, that would cause me to question the relationship. I only got married 6 months ago - don't tell me this is my future!

I've just got divorced through partly my love of cars after 15 years :roll:

I could have bought a new rs6 for what its cost me, now I will just have to slowly build stuff back up.

You probably did the right thing lol

I ended up giving the RS6 over to my wife, she loves it, and have just ordered her a PE so its the best solution for us!

There must be something wrong with her. Imagine how pissed off we'd all be if she turns out to be super fit, can deep throat a cucumber and understands the significance of corner flagging in the modern game of rugby.

Surprised she likes the car, it's not practical, can't lob it in a multi-storey and is the size of a bus.

It would have been worse if you just spent all that money then got rid of the car.
If it makes you feel any better, a combination of bad luck, IR35 and that flipping london mayor might mean I need to reconsider ownership.
