Obviously your wife doesn´t know what she wants.
This leads to the following conclusion:
Face the fact that whatever you do will be wrong.
Now embrace the situation because it means you can do whatever YOU want.
If you can´t make her happy with your car fleet, why should both of you be unhappy with it?

Early training is the key... My wife has known me for 56 of my 57 cars over the years...

Unfortunately it may be a little late to re-train yours .......

Mine learned early on that it's easier for her to say yes, and save herself a lot of time and energy by doing so.

That is not bad advice at all. The problem is, I am upside down in the Pathfinder. Carmax is selling one for around $19,300 and I owe $25,600. Mine is nicer and top of the line, but...Anyway, this is worth considering.

Default Trading the Wife

Trading the wife is not an option as I wouldn't want another one. Nothing personal against the ladies but 2 times was enough for me. I have learned.

Default Polarity

You make an awful lot of sense to me. I don't drive the SUV because it makes no sense to haul it around at 14 mpg with jut me in it and it makes no sense to leave it in the garage for $644 a month.

Well sir, there are 2 people you have to make happy in this life. You, because you are you and you need to be happy for you. The other person is, well, me... So give me all your money...No really, pay me for this......Yeah, you're not falling for it are you? Ok fine, there is only 1 person you have to make happy, and it sounds like you know what you want, go get it.

Default The Mazda

The Mazda might last another year without major repairs. I do seem to notice a lot of heat coming from under the mid-part of the car. The temp gauge is cool though and I am wondering if this is the transmission. Everything works great on it if you don't mind a busted drivers seat, broken drivers door lock, and a radio that doesn't work anymore (don't ask about the air conditioning).

You may be right. I got the feeling that she didn't want me to have the car because I wanted the car. This was her idea. She didn't think it made since having the Pathfinder in the garage, not being driven, for $644 a month. So, when I took her up on her idea, she goes nuts and is dead set against it. I can't figure this one out.

The first mistake you ever did was marry her. You could've saved a lot of hassle and stress if you didn't and would've owned a Z long time ago. I say this because your wife has major issues.

Congatz with the Z, if she says "Me or the car" I'd pick the car because it'll never leave you unless it's repo.

My advice is to get one of the new auto loans that allow you to pay much less each month but with a balloon payment at the end (Penfed has one called the auto saver loan).
Double win my friend.
