She thinks the money an M costs is silly and could be spent on better things.

My wife is awesome
A week later and I can't get this thread out of my head... I just cannot even imagine fighting about a car, and your wife being reduced to tears over it!

Anyway, I hope your birthday was a very happy one, (the gifts from her were great!), and I sincerely hope your next year is tear-free from arguments about a car.

Very cool gift. My wife had this sign made for me at a farmers market and gave it to me for my birthday a few years back:



And she bought me this for Christmas last year:

Unfortunately it happened. It was a confusing time. One day she is suggesting car colors and options, and the next day it was a "no". My wife is sensitive. She is awesome, and i love her sensitiveness - but it can sometimes be a negative. Good thing, our overall relationship is 100 times more important than this. She did say that I would not be getting an Aston Martin

I pinged my wife for it, but someone else found it on Bimmerfest. So here you go

FYI..it's made from 11 gauge steel, using a cnc plasma cutter, and the color is a powder coat. Really good stuff

So, she got me a birthday gift. A testament to how much she loves me, she found this item on Etsy. It's made really well (solid metal, think xylophone, except stronger). I can even hang it in the living room.

BTW, like 10 seconds before I opened the box I guessed what it was. She was like "how the heck did you know". It was a total shot in the dark, more of a mocking statement because I didn't think she would buy this (remember, she hates the car).

My wife is awesome
