How would I convince the wife I need a Red Eye?

[Magnified]

We have a horse farm that borders our property. All we have to do is look out the window. It’s just like owning them without the work or expense.

So you go out and ride them whenever you want?



Ah, the majestic horse...

Why target is better than walmart...

My rationale:

Why I want to purchase a Challenger Redeye?​

​

• 3 to 2 cars. 👍
• $1k/yr insurance savings. 👍
• $17K off MSRP with EP discount and Incentives. 👍
• $13K less than a comparably optioned Trackhawk. 👍
• Keep 2-3 years, trade in for another dream. 👍
• Life too short. 👍
• Shit can happen. 😱
• Buying the Redeye Widebody might be mistake: Tickets or financially. 😱
• Thinking young and reliving the past. 👌
• Got a passion for vehicles, that's me.....✌

My wife told me to grow up...….

Does that 3 to 2 cars mean you'd trade 2 in?

See what you can get for the wife at a swap meat.

In Florida, aren't those limited to one's relations?

You guys are the best. There are some great suggestions here. Some serious and some hysterical. Now I have plenty of ammunition. It’s the first shot that’s tough to take. I have a great wife. One in a million. Tough to go against that.

Holy crap. Just checked Kelly. My 2016 is not much more than $40,000 on trade. My car is pristine, I’m thinking more and more it’s just not worth it. At least $35k to upgrade. My money is better off invested. Maybe get that fishing boat when I retire. I’m not unhappy with it my car anyway. I can always ad a little red eye with an artists brush👍🏼

I have a feeling this might not be the results the op was looking for. 😂

If hes inclined to trade her in...there might be some interest on my part...any clue on mileage...rust ..dents or dings???

Do this...if shes like most women..she has a closet full of shoes...show her the closet...gently inquire if she only has two feet...how does she justify all those shoes..then tell her...you have one ass...it deserves two cars...or at the very least...a new one...then off to the dealer

I would say that if that $35k get's you a year closer to retirement, then save your money. My wife and I were frugal for years, lived on 50% of our take home salaries, maxed our 401k's and I was able to retire at 58. I'm 72 now, no kids and have a wife with dementia, so it was really a no brainer to upgrade. How many years do I have left, with good health? Think real hard about what you want to do. Retire early if you can. Life is short and circumstances change.

I must say, I have a fair selection of boots and shoes (probably 2 boots and 1 shoe/dress boot to wear with suits) and a couple more pair, but I just don't get this 60 pairs thing that my wife has going on. Imelda Marcos was not an aberration.

KBB is always lower than what a dealer may give you in trade, especially if purchasing from them.

Confucius once said in twenty years look back and you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did do. well someone said it maybe it was George Washington IDK

How to convince my wife to let me get a redeye:

1. Go to dealer
2. Come home with redeye
3. f@$k you. I'm spiderman.
4. Profit

we have two huge walk in closets in our bedroom (could park a car in there)...one is filled with womens shoes..well over a hundred pair...many never worn

Tell her "how bout we convert those closets to garages?" See what she says and report back. If you can.
