The problem is, she doesn't want to hear it and has the $$ to go buy her own car. I think that would be the best for both parties. My issue is more to do with the kids picking these habbits up as well. I have two little daughters and I am afraid Mommy will influence them as well.
As far as cars, when the 545i was stolen, I picked up an 01 Audi A4 since I needed it just for train ststaion purposes. I gave her my E46 325i to use as a daily driver. We decided to lay low since things were looking bad in financial institutions and I worked for Lehman Brothers. I would constantly hear her say how she missed the 5. I also own two Porsche 968's. One is a turbo and the other is a cabriolet. All cars have always been registered under my name since she doesn't have a clue when it comes to cars what needs to be done.
She is actually happy that she will be able to get her own car and not have to hear about it. I feel bad knowing she will pay atleast $5k more than what I would pay for the same car but at this point I am just fed up. I can't deal with this crap. So, I get the 5 back as well and this is how I own 5 cars . I gotta get rid of the 3 and the A4 asap.
What was funny was that she rented a car this morning to get to work and guess what she got, a Nissan Versa, lol. Now all of a sudden a compact was fine when a E46 was not good enough for the longest time. Can't wait to see what she gets as a daily driver . She absolutely loves bimmers, especially E60's.

Just feel the need to vent.
I presented my wife an 06 530i a few months back. This was a replacement for her 04 545i that was stolen in NYC. I went thru 3+ months of search before I found a perfect example. It had to be shipped from Idaho, go thru payoff and get financed. All in all, took me over 1 month to get this car in my possession from when I 1st struck the deal. Then came Ipod kit, all season mats, trunk liner yada yada. All in all, a lot of time spent just to please her.
She calls me on my way home yesterday and tells me not to get mad but a piece of the front bumper is missing. I am already upset but don't say anything. As per her, "not sure what happened, it was fine in the morning on the way into work and was fine when I took it out for lunch but I saw this when I got in the car to get home". Now, nothing upsets me more than ignorance. She could have come out clean and just apologized but she had to play dumb.
I get home and right away walk up to the car. The driver's side bumper cover is pulled off the body but the rest is still on. The 3 tabs in the wheel well have snapped off. I try to push it back in but nothing moves (looks like I need to remove it to see what's going on). I walk up to the bedroom and she has our 2 kids in the bed as she is trying to put them to sleep. I walk up and tell her exactly what happened. In my words, "looks like a clueless individual decided to pull over the parking lot stops and got their bumper caught up in there. Then, when they pulled out, they tore the bumper off the car."
"Well, how would one get their car out if it gets stuck on those things" is her response. Right there, I knew she was lying earlier about not knowing how it happened. I called her out on it and she tells me, "well, now that you explained it, it makes sense. "
Right!!!
All in all, I told her I want the car back and I am sick and tired of taking care of her cars when she could give two $h1t$ about it and to get her own car. I have had it. This has become such a stress in our lives. I have to constantly tell her to keep it clean since she lets the kids do whatever they want in there.
So, now I have 5 cars and she has none. I need to sell 2 cars immidiately (3 series and audi a4). All in all, I picked up some stress of needing to sell two cars in a soft economy but I think that is the best solution in the long run.
Sorry for ranting.
Regards.

I sympathize with the guys who have had bad experiences with wives. I am joining the crowd. We have been married for over 30 years, and my wife either forgets to or intentionally refuses to put celery in my tuna fish salad.

I have finally decided that this is going to end the marriage once and for all.

Over 30 years, man!! This is ridiculous. It is either celery in the tuna or out-the-door for one of us.

There's a whole lot of "mine" going on. Isn't this your wife? When I got married everything became "ours". You should see her primary driver. It's disgustingl, but we have small kids and she likes the giant purse. What ever... life is too short and I love her too much to care.

My wife ignores the paring senors and the rear bumper shows it.

I just grin and bear it the damage charge at the end of the lease is much cheaper than a divorce, wish I could lease a wife.
