I’d really like to buy a new car for my wife in the next couple of years. She hasn’t bought a new car since 1997! I think that’s a long time to go without buying a new car. But she and I have not been able to come to an agreement about what kind of car to buy for her. She is all about wanting one of the mini vans that she has been coveting since they first came out! I keep telling her that those are no longer “in style” but she keeps responding with “I don’t care, that’s what I want, and who is the car supposed to be for anyway?” She wants it to be practical and be able to seat lots of people and pets. As for me, I’d rather it be something nice, just for her, like an audi a5.
When I tell her that she gets upset and tells me that she is not interested in buying a status symbol car like that! She says that if she were to want to buy a luxury car, she would prefer something along the line of a hyundai genesis, because she feels it it very comfortable inside, yet conservative on the outside. I don’t understand why she doesn’t like cars that seem to be screaming “I’ve got money.” That is one of the big differences between us I guess. So I’ll probably just let her decide on what she wants. After all, she IS the one who will have to drive it all the time!
