Well, she has an '03 sl500. (actually it's my dads but she essentially stole it.
note to self: never get married) Anyways,
It has had many problems and every day I remind her how much of a superior car a 911 is and for a smaller price tag also.
She used to ignore me, but she keeps telling me how it is starting to sink into her mind that the 911 is superior.
She always tells me how much she loves my car and loves being in it and the engine sound.
Talked to her today and she told me how she was disgusted w/ the new SL design

and that she will not be getting another one. I, of course, by duty, mentioned to her that I see SLs more than I see civics around here and especially in Long Island. She was even more disgusted.
I followed that up by telling her that the 911 also has back seats and can be had in AWD, so she can drive it all year, and it'd still cost less than the SL.
This amazed her, and she told me we would go drive one. I told her that it'd be hard to find one in an automatic, but we could do it.
She was pleased.
Then I mentioned how the auto would cost 3500 MORE and it would greatly depreciate the car's value come trade-in. She agreed I could teach her to drive a stick.
I proceeded to ask that since I was so helpful, maybe she could buy me one also, and she hung up on me, because she knew I was being serious
So Friday I will be doing this w/ her and will report back w/ results.
Think I can get the dealer to let just her and I drive and he can sit back at the dealerhouse and wait?
Long ass thread, sorry.
