Next week it will be my 30th wedding anniversirary. I think
that my wife is expecting something special. Any sugestions?



I bet she is. This is the same woman who believes she "deserves" to be
in some kind of car, though Donal has yet to identify it. On top of
that, when driven around in it she rewards him with a kiss that is
directly the result of being in the car. No doubt Donal seeks whatever
physical rewards possible and meeting her expectations for the
anniversary might net him additional affections.
Last week was my 6th wedding anniversary.

Cheers,

I'm sure that an Evo will help you to make to your
30th.

Isn't Susannah really impressed?


Why don't you show what a failure you are by
showing her the sort of car that a successful
film producer owns?

Haha! Sounds like I really struck a nerve!
Well, let's answer poor frustrated Donal, who needs a nice car to get
attention from his wife!
Suzanne IS impressed with the Evo. In fact, before we bought the
Subaru Legacy Turbo, she noted how much better the Speed 6 was in
handling. He only objection to the Evo is the chassis feeling "up
high" at times, which is something most rally cars share.
Now, how can I show her what a failure I am by buying 4 nice cars in 3
years? Slow down when you get mad, Donal. You're not making any sense!

Bob..... You *know* that you have never managed
to strike a nerve with me.

After you have been married for 30 years, the last thing
that you need is "attention" from your wife. What you
want it to be able to watch the TV without interruption.

Suzanne IS impressed with the Evo.

Perhaps the two of you are suited to each other.
I'm glad that my wife wouldn't be impressed by
an Evo.

Why don't you let Susannah look at a DB9?
Then you can ask her which she would prefer.

DB9 vs Evo??


Ask her.


If you don't know what the answer is, then you are just
plain stupid.

Well then KUDOS to you! You sure type like someone who's upset. I
can't imagine why though.

Lucky for me I know some people who have been even married longer than
you and they sure would find what you wrote above funny and sad!
But I'll let your comment stand on it's own!

Indeed. My wife has driven some of the best handling cars and drives a
6 speed with perfection. She can also swim faster than most people and
can sail. She's interested in what a car can do, not where it gets
parked!


Why don't you let Susannah look at a DB9?

The DB9 is an ungainly boat to her. Out of all the current cars she
likes the new M3 best, which also out-handles the DB9 with ease. What
you have failed to understand is the simple fact that the DB9 does
not lead in any subcategory of performance...not one. Yet your
impressed with it cuz it's pretty and expensive. That's the long and
short of it, Donal...oh, and that your wife has special kisses for you
when carted about in a car she "deserves."

And what car IS that, Donal???? It's pretty clear you're afraid to
tell us.


Nah, you're not mad! This little debate has gone great for you! You're
on par with John McCain!

Well... I suppose that I shouldn't be surprised!
After all, she married *you*.

0-60??? Top speed???

You are talking absolute nonsense, as usual.

The M3 is a boy's car. The DB9 is a man's car.

No.

I have to admit that you have insulted me with that one.
Despite the insult, I feel that I will be able to carry on.

You have definitely wounded me. I am really feeling
the pain. Does this make you feel that you are
winning?


I admit that you are correct when you say that
an Evo has more class than a DB9.

You are a genius. Not many people would have
been able to figure out that an Evo would be more
desirable than a DB9.

I am envious that your wife is intelligent enough
to see that your Evo is better than a DB9.

And yet virtually every pro driver is. I guess your wife is above
"pro" level since she alone discounts the achievement that the Evo
represents.

Wake up, Donal. It's 2008, not 1975. There are a LOT of fast cars out
there. The Euro spec's Evo is as fast as the DB9 and is FAR more agile
on the track in STOCK trim! Not only that, but you'd need a perfect
launch to get ahead of the AWD Evo. Like I said. It's 2008 and the
high end is about handling. If you wanna drag race, the DB9 loses to a
LOT of cars costing a LOT less.



The M3 is a boy's car. The DB9 is a man's car.


The M3 outhandles the DB9 easily, just like the Evo. How is a car that
shouts "look at me!" manly? DRIVERS prefer a Q car, which is why a lot
of Evo owners remove the wing.



Afraid??

No.


You're not making a good case.


Nah, you're not mad! This little debate has gone great for you! You're
on par with John McCain!

I have to admit that you have insulted me with that one.
Despite the insult, I feel that I will be able to carry on.


I'm sorry. The McCain comparison was unjustified and I retract it.




I admit that you are correct when you say that
an Evo has more class than a DB9.


No, not MORE class. The DB9 is a classy car to be sure. But it's
simply not a better handling car than an Evo, M3 or GT-R and driving
enthusiasts are usually looking for handling and speed at the top end
first and foremost. In THAT class the DB9 loses to a lot of better
designed suspensions and drive trains.


You are a genius. Not many people would have
been able to figure out that an Evo would be more
desirable than a DB9.


Only a poor person will "desire" a car like the DB9 over an Evo. It
represents a level of wealth few people can attain. I could afford
one, but frankly I'd be crazy to buy one. I want fun, practicality and
performance in a car, not the best parking spot.


I am envious that your wife is intelligent enough
to see that your Evo is better than a DB9.


She sure does. She knows the DB9 would be useless around here on wet
or snowy roads and it stands out in a boastful way she does not enjoy.
She enjoys luxuries, like the hot tub I just bought her, but she
doesn't like to advertise them to the world.

Again, sorry about the McCain thing.

My wife has never even heard of a Subaro. She drives
a Nissan Micra. She thinks that the Lexus gs300 is a
"Nice Car". She loves the DB9. She thinks that I should
get one.

Right. I think we can believe that your wife would have no connection
with a 350 HP AWD rally car that pulls a full G and corners better
than many supercars. But that doesn't mean that ALL women aren't
interested in such things. In fact there are quite a few female
enthusiast drivers around.



My wife has never even heard of a Subaro. She drives
a Nissan Micra.


She drives one of the worst cars in the world for safety. It scores 2
stars in crash tests. A Smart Car is FAR safer. Of course I wouldn't
let my wife drive a Micra as I actually like her. She commutes in the
safest small sedan in the world. It's also fast and fun to drive.


She thinks that the Lexus gs300 is a
"Nice Car"


All of the Lexus cars are "nice." They're great for the over 60 crowd.


She loves the DB9. She thinks that I should
get one.



You should. Send us pictures of it when you do. I don't respect that
car much, but if you want one that's what counts. Treat yourself and
don't worry about faster, better handling cars if you prefer the
"look" or "class" of yours. Some folks drive classic cars because they
like classic cars. I'm looking for a MGA Twin Cam for that exact
reason.


Cheers,



RB

I'm sure that an Evo will help you to make to your
30th.



Here's another hint, Donal. You shouldn't have to rely on cars, or
anything else material, to get a good kiss from your wife. I don't
know how this happened to you, but maybe it's not your fault. Some
people just marry the wrong person and still have to feed them
"special objects" to keep it going. Ultimately my wife was FAR happier
with the card and what I wrote inside than the 6K Bullfrog hot tub I
bought her. Your wife is probably far beyond being able to learn from
that. 30 years of tuff luck...I can now see why you're so bitter.
BTW, did you see the pics of the boat we'll be buying next?
