I LOVE new cars...I'd rather have a new, high-performance sports car than a house but I'm a grown up and I know that what I need has to come before what I want.
Your wife is right; maybe for the wrong reasons but she is right.
If you have to have a payment on a vehicle then you really can't afford it.
Sell your RX7 and sell your SUV and, if necessary take out a small loan so that you can pay off the SUV and have enough left over that you can buy a beater car that will get you by for a year or two...save the 500 to 600 a month you would be making in payments and then when you have enough to afford a good, used 350 (or something as fun); buy it for cash then keep saving...about two cycles of this is all you'll need to walk in and buy a new 370 or something similar for cash.
The worst vehicle accidents happen on the showroom floor.
