Wife Drives Camry V6 for the First Time

[Raddius]

So the wife needed to run a quick errand, no big whoop. She steps out then a couple minutes later comes in the back yard saying she can't get out of the garage because my car is parked in the middle of the driveway (I had been in and out a couple times doing the parts run to Lowes).

On a side note, can anyone tell me why it takes minutes to determine you're blocked in?

She says, "can you come move your car, I can't get out?" At the time I was standing on a ladder so I reached into my pocket then tossed her the key to my new Camry and told her to "just take mine."

Well, what a mistake, she was gone FOREVER (remember, it was only a quick errand). When she finally got back she said she was just having a blast driving the Camry and didn't want to stop driving...so she didn't. Now that I type this all out I don't even know if she did the errand...lol...I'll have to ask her about that tonight.

I'm anticipating a little chat one of these evenings where she's going to want to trade me her Enclave for my Camry. At such time I will swat her on the nose with the newspaper and say "No, bad honey...NO!"

At any rate, I thought it was a pretty cool story. She loves the Camry and that V6. She's been talking about it ever since.

Haha, The picture of that in my mind is Hilarious!

I think that it's pretty neat how she likes the car. A lot of women don't really care how a car drives, as long as it looks good.

It seems that you've got yourself into quite a pickle.

My wife drove my 07 V6 for the first time last night. Needless to say she is trying to snag the car for herself! I don't think so!

[Yazovets]

Well how could you allow a General Motors vehicle in the family to begin with? Of course she wants the Camry over a grandma Buick.

I don't think so

What? I do not 'Get This' at all.

You are MARRIED...correct?

So what is up with the 'My Car' deal?

Yes, my wife considers the newer car her car. She always ends up with the newest car and I take her 'old car'. This is for identification more then ownership.
Where the Camry XLE is actually the main family car that we use when we go on family outings and/or trips. Of course then *I* end up as the main driver too.

Turns out the Camry XLE is the newer car...BUT...we don't really own each of these cars separately. We are MARRIED so we share everything.
I can drive the Camry to work if I want too and I do from time to time to keep the miles down on the older Buick.
OR...just for a change...for a change.

However, mostly I want my wife to have the newer car so the miles stay down on it and also she drives our daughter to school (my wife works right next door to our daughter's school).
So that they have the best protection that the Camry XLE provides.
PLUS...it simply makes HER happy to have the latest gizmos like the Smart Key and the 6 CD changer. (she really loves that CD changer where I love the Sat-Radio)

I never understood why people once they get married they still consider material possessions as their own.
We have always considered everything in the home as OURS. That goes for money as well.
About the only 'thing' that we keep to ourselves is our computers. That is mainly because each computer is set up for our personal tastes and settings.
(but, I do get the latest greatest because I 'appreciate' that so much more being a gamer and all)

Maybe that is why we have been married for almost 25 years.
We have learned to let go and share our shit...material possessions are not THAT important when you get into the nuts & bolts of a marriage.

I am not accusing anyone...just making an observation.
I just do not see how one can have a real healthy relationship if one cannot give everything that they 'own' to the other one in that relationship.

Once you do that then you will be amazed at how much more 'free' you will feel overall.

So sorry if I sound 'preachy' but I just wanted to share some tips on a long lasting relationship. It was not easy getting to 25 years by any means. However, it did get easier by learning to share everything.

EDIT: OH...my wife simply LOVES the power of the XLE V6. She thinks it is a effin race car.

I think you've got a great relationship, if I may say so. My wife drives a Volvo S60 AWD while I drive the Camry. We both like the safety features of the Volvo.

It is just a joke. I was being funny. I have been married for 15 wonderful years. I think it is just the typical guys and cars stuff that has been going on for many, many years.

[gadgetjunkie]

Well my wife of almost 22 years has "her" car and I have "my" car, primarily because my '08 Camry XLE is a company car so she is not permitted to drive it except in emergencies. "Her" car btw is a loaded up '05 Z71 Suburban that she would not trade for anything. She loves that truck, as do I. Prior to me having a company car we still had our own cars.

LoL...I was laughing when I read all of the posts, especially Old Dood's.

It reminds me of when my wife and I were Ford owners. She drove the Explorer and I drove the lifted up F150....Her SUV for running around town, and the truck was mine because, well, guys drive lifted trucks...

Needless to say, both vehicles were gas whores, so now we belong to the Toyota family.

A lot of women don't even care how a car looks, as long as it gets them to their destination.

Well my penis is still mine, but if I were married to a cool wife, she still doesn't have a say to the penis that's mine, but she'll always have first dips
