Explaining yourself doesn't take away from the fact that you condoned domestic violence. Joke it may be, but that was pretty damn tasteless. Can't we all just delete these violence posts and move along...

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.

OP, I agree with what a few others have said here regarding keeping your wife in a car she enjoys just as much as a car that you enjoy yourself. My wife drive's the car that she'd want to be driving even if we made twice as much money as we do, and because of that, I don't get much **** when I do the same.
we've been married 3 years and I've driven 5 cars in that time, slowly upgrading until I could get my hands on the 370. She's currently in a 2010 equinox and couldn't be happier. However, getting yourself upside-down in another car after trading in this pathfinder isn't a good idea. With no money down, and getting 5k or so less than you owe on the car is going to keep you upside-down on the Z for nearly it's entire financing period. You're going to end up carrying that debt over and over again on new cars and it's going to get worse and worse. Sell the pathfinder privately, pay off anymore you owe after selling it, and drive the RX7 around for a while to save up a down payment on the Z.

yeah its best that we give suggestions and ideas i see no real point in us calling the op names or simply telling him to grow a pair, no one knows his situation.
either way i agree u should do what u want with ur own money but once ur married, depending on the spouse and what u guys agree with should be the ultimate choice, is what i think |

Read!
Every state in the union has a law like this one! California Penal Code 273.5 273.5. (a) Any person who willfully inflicts upon a person who is his or her spouse, former spouse, cohabitant, former cohabitant, or the mother or father of his or her child, corporal injury resulting in a traumatic condition, is guilty of a felony, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years, or in a county jail for not more than one year, or by a fine of up to six thousand dollars ($6,000) or by both that fine and imprisonment. (b) Holding oneself out to be the husband or wife of the person with whom one is cohabiting is not necessary to constitute cohabitation as the term is used in this section. (c) As used in this section, "traumatic condition" means a condition of the body, such as a wound or external or internal injury, whether of a minor or serious nature, caused by a physical force. (d) For the purpose of this section, a person shall be considered the father or mother of another person's child if the alleged male parent is presumed the natural father under Sections 7611 and 7612 of the Family Code. (e) (1) Any person convicted of violating this section for acts occurring within seven years of a previous conviction under subdivision (a), or subdivision (d) of Section 243, or Section 243.4, 244, 244.5, or 245, shall be punished by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than one year, or by imprisonment in the state prison for two, four, or five years, or by both imprisonment and a fine of up to ten thousand dollars ($10,000). (2) Any person convicted of a violation of this section for acts occurring within seven years of a previous conviction under subdivision (e) of Section 243 shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years, or in a county jail for not more than one year, or by a fine of up to ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or by both that imprisonment and fine. (f) If probation is granted to any person convicted under subdivision (a), the court shall impose probation consistent with the provisions of Section 1203.097. (g) If probation is granted, or the execution or imposition of a sentence is suspended, for any defendant convicted under subdivision (a) who has been convicted of any prior offense specified in subdivision (e), the court shall impose one of the following conditions of probation: (1) If the defendant has suffered one prior conviction within the previous seven years for a violation of any offense specified in subdivision (e), it shall be a condition thereof, in addition to the provisions contained in Section 1203.097, that he or she be imprisoned in a county jail for not less than 15 days. (2) If the defendant has suffered two or more prior convictions within the previous seven years for a violation of any offense specified in subdivision (e), it shall be a condition of probation, in addition to the provisions contained in Section 1203.097, that he or she be imprisoned in a county jail for not less than 60 days. (3) The court, upon a showing of good cause, may find that the mandatory imprisonment required by this subdivision shall not be imposed and shall state on the record its reasons for finding good cause. (h) If probation is granted upon conviction of a violation of subdivision (a), the conditions of probation may include, consistent with the terms of probation imposed pursuant to Section 1203.097, in lieu of a fine, one or both of the following requirements: (1) That the defendant make payments to a battered women's shelter, up to a maximum of five thousand dollars ($5,000), pursuant to Section 1203.097. (2) That the defendant reimburse the victim for reasonable costs of counseling and other reasonable expenses that the court finds are the direct result of the defendant's offense. For any order to pay a fine, make payments to a battered women's shelter, or pay restitution as a condition of probation under this subdivision, the court shall make a determination of the defendant's ability to pay. In no event shall any order to make payments to a battered women's shelter be made if it would impair the ability of the defendant to pay direct restitution to the victim or court-ordered child support. Where the injury to a married person is caused in whole or in part by the criminal acts of his or her spouse in violation of this section, the community property may not be used to discharge the liability of the offending spouse for restitution to the injured spouse, required by Section 1203.04, as operative on or before August 2, 1995, or Section 1202.4, or to a shelter for costs with regard to the injured spouse and dependents, required by this section, until all separate property of the offending spouse is exhausted. (i) Upon conviction under subdivision (a), the sentencing court shall also consider issuing an order restraining the defendant from any contact with the victim, which may be valid for up to 10 years, as determined by the court. It is the intent of the Legislature that the length of any restraining order be based upon the seriousness of the facts before the court, the probability of future violations, and the safety of the victim and his or her immediate family. This protective order may be issued by the court whether the defendant is sentenced to state prison, county jail, or if imposition of sentence is suspended and the defendant is placed on probation.

omg people are way too sensitive. It was a joke anyone could tell that. Why do people have to crusade about every issue? Geezus I am so sick of the thin skinned attitudes that are so prevalent. Just let it go already. I guess people have it so easy in their lives that their only worry is about insensitive jokes being told on the internet. I'll tell you what why not donate some money to abused women and stop whining about what someone posted if you're so concerned about it?
