Lol sounds like shes thinking about marriage or having kids. My wife says the same thing, says I cant get a 2 door car because its not good for filling with car seats and babies. God help me


Same thing happened to me. Promised her I wouldn't get a 2 door car. Got a Veloster turbo, whuch is the car I wanted. And it has 3 doors so she couldn't say shit.

Great then you can revisit changing cars when she is your wife and the situation warrants it( you have a kid). Until then yeah its your car, your money

It's fine to put carseats in a 2 door car... I do it all the time for work.

So she's saying she wants you to drive everyone in your car instead of hers. Fuck that

It does kinda boil down to this lmfao

I also will echo what an above poster said about two-seaters being totally impractical anyways. They really are.

That said, it is your money and you wanted to buy it for fun, so nobody, including your girlfriend, should be allowed to stop you.

A fair compromise would be, you get whatever car you want and if you have to drive people you split driving her car 50/50.

If you're not living together, your money is not even remotely her money unless you've discussed things of that nature happening in the near future... then it's a bit more grey...

People change, but that sounds like it's not going to end well. My wife was very much "it's your money, do what you want" until we'd been living together for a year or two and she realized I was always buying stuff impulsively and probably needed some coercion.

@Waddlez

Well tbh in my book it seems like she either has your balls in her purse or is literally trying to kill any joy you have on the road. A good wife would not make you shit can your choice of vehicles for more kids, more room, more practical when she can do that fucking bullshit for her vehicle.

Call me an asshole but a good woman is not trying to kill all sense of fun, adventure, and joy out of her husband.

Instead of shilling for no fun on the road for a soccer mom vehicle she would see what is sporty/fun and can transport 4 people like an WRX.

Also who the hell cares about carting around your kids plus their friends for more then one vehicle.

This, way over priced, got into a jump with one off the lights a few days back and I absolutely pulverized him.

I'm sure I would too. Instead of driving the car that gave mechaphilia when I saw The Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift on opening night, I get to drive a piece of shit that needs maintenance and has took away the thrill of driving to me.

Every time I see one on the road I mutter, "That fucking bitch", and floor the pedal in my car to rev up the "Little Engine that Could get to 65 in 20 Seconds."

Not her decision. She can state her preferences but it's up to you.

And I say that as a long time married woman.

Maybe if you had a couple kids that needed driving to school or something so you might want more than one 4 seater but you can think about that/change cars later if it ever comes up. "If".

@Skywalker82

She fucked you over hard, personally like I have said I dont think anyone should allow or even care what anyone else thinks for what they want to drive.

If she is going to try dictating what car you drive everyday then she will want to dictate other aspects of your life.

Solution: shut that bitch down and find a quality woman

Could've compromised with an Infinity [whatever model here] Red Sport. Has seats (and room depending on model you get) to spare. Affectionately referred to as the "de-tuned Z" but still packs a punch and fairly posh for comfy driving.

she raises a fair point about having to drive if there's more than just you two

Unless you have kids no the fuck she doesn't. I've never understood how people seem to think they're obligated to be a taxi service for their friends.

I can count on my hand the number of times I've had people ride in the backseat of my TL.

TC, your girlfriend can kindly keep her mouth shut. Also TC, I'd be wary of her trying to dictate major financial decisions to you all the while bearing no matrimonial relationship to you.

Seems you two need to have a broader discussion about that.
