If you have kids just put up with it and get a younger sportier version to take your mind off of how stuffed you are, if no kids give her the keys to the house and walk out if it's so bad that you have to winge about your wife on a water sports forum(no offence by the way).
Good Luck mate.

A younger sportier version? What an advice!

I thought it was "an" fantastic advice or would you perfer the sh!t in the bedside table then?

LOL ... Fair enough ... after all, All is fair in love and war ... no double standards here ... I will take your advice if I needed to ...

Im up for a sportier model & as there are some classics out there it doesnt even have to be a younger model.

Mmm Im in the market for a similar product

She said "I feel totaly worn out"
I said "bit like an old car darlin"
she said "your not going to trade me in are you"
I said "no babe, you know I like old cars, and your still reliable and go pretty good.------- can I get a little sports car to drive on weekends?'
she said "as long as it doesn"t cost anything or take up any room in the shed"

Yeah, my mates got a nice big shed to, and he got himsrlf a hot little sports car. Beautiful low slung body with nice wheels and big headlights. He was so mesmerised with its novelty and performance that he neglected his old runaround he'd had for years, and it sat out the back and without any maintenance would'nt even start. eventually a bloke walking past picked it up for a song. He was stoked as it took bugger all to get it going, drove nicely went anywhere and was totally reliable.
My friend meanwhile was starting to realise the shortcomings of the sportscar. It was super expensive to maintain, couldn't carry a decent load and wouldn't go on dirt roads. Another problem that developed was every time he wasn't looking someone else was trying to drive it. eventually he went to his parking spot and it wasn't there. one of his so called mates was driving it without even telling him.
Now my poor freind hasn't got a car at all. He told me he hasn't walked so much since he was a teenager. He's cruising all the caryards but just can't find anything even half as good as the one he had to start with. The bloke who ended up with it would'nt dream of selling it back. He's keeping it fully pollished up and got some nice accessorys for it. Its in better nick now than its been for years and can get to all the surf breaks
Just to add insult to injury, my mate has to move out of his house because the man wants to keep his car in the shed its used to being in. that little sportscar has cost him everything.
There's a moral to this sad story. Me, I love old cars, especially the one I got. These new models, they're far to complicated and cost a fortune to keep on the road. They might be cheaper on petrol but you'll pay somewhere else and they dont seem to last very long.

What do you do though if your'e old model hasnt had any maintance for years & its just rusting away & now you would have to give it a coat of paint & a new set of tyres just to get the wreckers to take it away. I suppose its still got sentimental value i mean i can still look & remeber all the good drives i had before

Lube; frequent lubing does the trick. Full oil and filter change every 6k and while you're down there spray some lithium grease.

arrrr! Happy wife = Happy life

Just gave her $1000-00 to repair an expensive piece of jewellery, jewellery still at the factory (overseas) called me uncaring cause I am not calling factory every 2nd day to get updates, said I forked the money not because I care but just to make a point and look good in front of my family!!!!???
I need a new plotter for my yacht! That what I had saved toward it! Gee I am a bastard!
Still no takers

And does she talk much?

Come on japs; "she" is just another word for too much talking.

Beeh having problems with my car lately to. Had it for a while now, but it is constantly breaking down all the time, in the last 8 years i have spent so much time under the hood trying to fix it, only for it to break down again. Well a few weeks ago i left the handbrake off( it was broken too), and it rolled off down the hill.This has happened before and normally i chase after it, but this time i just stood there and thought....." F*%^ it."
So i am looking at test driving a few new models soon, already have my eye on a few. I miss the old boonga, but ah hell, it would have just kept braking down over and over again anyway. The thing needs a new engine, wheels, paint,,,, i would be better off on a pushy.
