Re: Uh Oh...I'm In Trouble Now!!!
Been with my wife 10 years. Married for 2. She never questions my purchases for trucks and I never question her photography purchases.
I dont hide a thing either. I spend a grand she knows it and vise versa. Heck her camera cost as much as the wheels and tires I want for my truck. I say get her what she wants. No need for told you so's. She will either like it or hate it. If she hates it it wont be around long. Im afraid of what mine will want when I go after that $12,000 572.....

Mercedes ML500 or ML350 are some other options.

Re: Uh Oh...I'm In Trouble Now!!!
My in laws have the prior model Mercedes SUV and it is complete junk. Breaksdown all the time, horrible fuel economy, expesive to maintain and repair and eats brake pads and rotors. I believe it was developed in conjunction with Chrysler, figures. New ones seem much better, though. Look much better, too.

Re: Uh Oh...I'm In Trouble Now!!!
My girlfriend has a 2005 ML500. Hauls a$$, does like to eat rotors and brake pads , though I'm not sure if it's the mechanics milking it. I don't mess with it at all besides checking the oil.

Re: Uh Oh...I'm In Trouble Now!!!
Don't matter what you all think of the Range Rover, it's what she wants. You want to be right or you wanna' be happy in a warm productive bedroom, with a Chevelle and a Truck in the stable?

Re: Uh Oh...I'm In Trouble Now!!!
Here are a few of the Chevelle. It currently is out of commission during the off season because I'm installing the LS 6.0 in it. That's why my signature says "68 C-10 In Waiting" Until I get the Chevelle back up and running. Thread coming soon on the C-10 though. Let me know what you guys think. I also have to put the big brakes on the rear just like the front. But, one thing at a time right? Oh, and I know the inside shot was dirty because it was in the shop getting the front brakes, ATS spindles, coil-overs and tubular a-arms installed, but notice the custom made door panels with component speakers and in dash monitor where the old a/c switches used to go.....you like?

Re: Uh Oh...I'm In Trouble Now!!!
Update guys!!!! Great news!!!! I may be out of the clear, hopefully. Upon looking for the car she wanted and hearing how that caliber of vehicle was going to be roughly $1,000-1,200 monthly, she is sorta changing her mind. LOL!!!! I don't know what she was thinking by assuming that kind of car note was going to be any cheaper, but I'm sure glad she came to her senses. Hahahahaha!!!!!!

Re: Uh Oh...I'm In Trouble Now!!!
Yeah, the Lexus and the Yukon. She doesn't even need a car. Just wants one. Kinda like we don't need 2 or 3 classics, huh? LOL!!

Re: Uh Oh...I'm In Trouble Now!!!
Thanks Big Al!! I really appreciate the comment. Not to be bragging or anything....but wait until the C10 gets going. I got big plans for it. I've got lots of parts for it already. Just not ready to get on it full time yet.
