Topic: Bought a new expensive car - wife wants to drive it (Read 3430 times)
What is more for you your wife or the car...
id just let her drive it, and then ask her cook me 7 course meal.
I did some research on your car and I noticed it is currently the most powerful Porsche in production. Nice work.
any pics of your awesome car? 
It's your decision ... but is your wife is not your girlfriend i would say let her drive
Dude the car is yours. Don't let her drive it, just explain why you don't want her to drive it.
What car did you get?
Porche Panamera Turbo SDid you tell her before you bought it she wasn't going to be driving it because of her crappy driving?
Has she got her own car?
If you answered yes to both the above, don't sweat it and keep her away from your car. You can always placate her with expensive jewelry.

She has her own bmw
Err dad?
Many other familys are rich too lol.
Just saying ahaha.
Is this you? My family also has a bmw and a panamera
you guys must super rich..
Thanks for editing my post, but know I wouldn't claim to be rich, just knowledgeable with money.
Id say just let her drive it, but like the catch is for 5 mins lol.
If you simply say "No Honey" it's mine....well then you are starting the process of a loooong hard marriage with resentment.
What is a marriage? it's a partnership with a piece of paper to prove it. Just because we have personal money, it doesn't mean we don't share it. It is essentially money we can use at our sole discretion. That way I don't complain about her buying expensive shoes and purses. And she doesn't complain about me buying sports equipment. We treat each other great. We spend lots of time together. We respect each other.
Yes technically half my personal money is hers and half her personal money is mine. But since we don't plan on ever divorcing and we have an established framework for how we handle our finances - personal money is personal money.
Just to reiterate, I'm calling it personal money only to identify it as money we can each spend without having to consult the other. But that doesn't mean we don't spend it on each other or for shared costs.
On top of increased biweekly mortgage payments that come out of the joint account. We both pre pay lump sums on the mortgage from our personal money. It's never equal, but we both put in whatever we feel can. We max out our prepayment amount every year.
Not sure why people need to judge my marriage.
The quote "I've worked hard, saved a lot, and invested well to be able to comfortably afford a nice car. I take really good care of the car and consider it as a reward to myself." sounds selfish. You married her and marriage is all about sharing your life and all it's experiences both good and bad with her....Isn't it?
You forgot this part :
Quote
Well, when we got engaged she made substantially more than me. When we had our money talk, I figured we would have a joint account and everything goes in there. She felt that wasn't fair. So we ended up going the route where we both put an equal amount into the joint account each month. All shared expenses come out of the joint account. We would also have our own personal accounts. With this arrangement, she had a hell of a lot more spending money than me.
Over the years, I've closed the gap in terms of our salaries. However, I've made quite a bit in my investments over the past several years. Now that I've got a decent amount of personal money, I decided to use it to buy myself a nice car. So really, it is my car, paid for with my money.

Its how we agreed on money. What if i ask her to use her LV bags to carry my electronic junk?

Wife is more important then car..
Give her the keys.
Here's how you approach this with a "Win Win"
Explain to her how you feel about the car and why you are "Worried" Simply tell her that you while you are worried she may "Ding" the paint you value your marriage to her and love her above the car and it's value.
This will make her put your cars safety a priority and take better care driving it and give you a +1 in the marriage.

Its a fucking car.
I have an unmolested 69 mustang. I can't exactly go buy a new one, even similar ones are hard to locate. With drum brakes on each corner, bathtub like handling and 400 hp, my gf still mostly drives it and there have been a few close calls.
And yes the more we drive it the more scratches it gets..big deal, that's what paint is for.
