POST-Your excuses to the wife to drive the M3

checkmate · 08-12-2011, 12:16 PM

I'm waiting to take delivery of my car the week of 9/19 via the Performance Center.

I have a feeling the wife is going to be as enthusiastic about driving the car as I am. This means-I need to plan ways of having more face time in the ///M.

Something tells me I will be volunteering a lot to run errands to drive the car. So let's start making a list of excuses as ammo and build up our arsenal.

Hahahaha.

I did that as well.

Our conversation went something like this:
Me: Gotta drive the M3 for the break in period.
Wife: At 9 in the evening???
Me: Oh well, I need to get the break in service done by this week so we can go out of town.
Wife: Oh ok. Just be safe. Take care.
Wife: Wait, do you really have to go this late???
Me: Out of town this weekend, out of town...
Wife: Fine fine, just go and be safe.
Me: I'll get some popcorn and a redbox CD on my way back.
Wife: ....
Me: Kiss kiss. Love you!
Wife: Just go.

If you need to make up an excuse to drive your car, then you may have married the wrong woman. Just saying.

Wife has yet to drive the M3 -

ES_TRADER · 08-12-2011, 01:01 PM

my problem is trying to find an excuse to drive this car without the wife going with me...all the nagging.."slow down," "dont turn fast," "car is so bumpy," etc etc...i didnt buy this car to drive it in D1 all day long..which is what i have to do when we go out with it

AMPowerJ · 08-12-2011, 01:07 PM

Just mod the hell out of the car, and make sure you have some sort of exhaust, and she will not want to drive it.
