After I brought home the 89 Ford F250.
"Oh you bought a farm truck. Great next you are going to bring home a old tractor"
For fathers day she bought me a book on Farmall tractors.
She always complains about the ride in the Ford but every time we head into the mountains she wants to take the "old farm truck" and not her 03 Dodge with functioning AC.

You only have 9 sets of wheels?

Those are just the unmounted ones.

Well, not ALL of it...part's in Asia. But that doesn't matter...it's RUSSIAN, after all. Broken down by definition. As it were...

No but it was an '83 SAAB 900 turbo. If it didn't have a manual, I'd be OBLIGATED to swap one in.
"Don't you look gay enough in the Miata without playing '80s music?"
On the phone while borrowing my car "I am coming down the street right now. Meet me at the curb to see if the car is on fire!"
This thread is epic.
Been batting around the idea of buying a rusty $200 Fiat to repair, I say "I'd have to get a Tetnus shot just to go near that thing"
Wife's reply "Well I just had mine so I can work on it!" (she's never picked up a ratchet in her life, let alone know what a torque wrench is for, I can't imagine her using the MIG)

Full Disclosure: I absolutely love pre-GM SAABs. Worked in an SCCA buddy's indie repair shop (as a service advisor) for half a minute.
Full GRM Truth: You'll have to replace the damn thing eventually, anyway..I'm sure you've already seen that the gearbox occupies the "other half" of the box underneath the engine. My buddy that gave me the job told me to never touch the gear lever on a customer's car unless I was actually changing gears.
My wife says to me the other day when I'm out cleaning all the crap out of the Fiat: "Your car goes with the garage." I ask her to clarify as she said it with a weird expression on her face, she says "I matches your red and black tools." In her defense she's been decorating the house for the past month and a half since we moved in so that would explain her logic, but you could hear my laughing across town that night...
GF Calling me at work in a panic " I turned on the defroster and smoke filled up the car, and it is getting really hot do you think the car is on fire?" My responce as I prepare to leave work and come rescue her: "don't worry I think it's just the heater core letting go" GF: "I want a new car" She had a new car/project within 10 days and That heap of crap Mercury sable is still stuck in my yard, heater core by-passed waiting to be sold or used for Lemons.
He only took the job for the free bus pass, you've seen his car.
On a few occasions my wife has gone on trips with my daughter and it seems she says " everytime I go away you buy another car"....
My response is " no I don't"...
on their recent trip ro Vegas to visit my son I bought 2.
"You are NOT buying another car"
bwaaah hah ha ha ha
"I don't want to trade our Astra for a Fiesta because I like having the only car like mine in the parking lot."
"I kept trying to clutch in, but there wasn't one!"
"This automatic sucks. Does it come in a stick?"
She's only driven stick for a bit over a year. Now she expects her car to be a manual.
My wife said to me one day when we found an MGB at a garage sale with four flat tires, "hey! they are not Pokemon, you do not have to catch them all!"
I didn't buy the MGB...

You win the Internet, Hands down,walking away,No competition in the immediate 2 time zones.
if you have seen, or contributed to Aussie's eclectic collection, you know just how absurd that comment is...
"Ew..."
"What's that smell?"
"It's your money, do what you want." - Of my many crazy ideas...
"The next car you buy is mine." - She wanted, and got, a Toyota Prius.
"Aw, it's cute!" - Said about a '92 Ford Probe I owned when we met. I thought the thing was ugly.
"Not another car! You said no more cars until you got rid of your last one!" - She said that today. 
"When are you going to get rid of your ex-wife?"
Referring to the broken down 91 Civic in my backyard.
We broke up since then. The ex-wife is still here though.
Ex: Why do you want to buy 10 acres of land?
Me: So I can buy every (Mazda 323) GTX I come across!
Ex: They're NOT Pokeman! You don't have to have them all!
There's also my ex-husband...It's not the things he would say, it's the things he'd do. I came home from a business trip once and he was driving my Miata. I hated when he drove my Miata.
Me: Why are you driving my Miata?
Ex-H: My car's making a funny noise.
Me: Okay, crank it up. -insert ominous noise here- TURN IT OFF! We've gone over this before - the car doesn't go far without oil. Oil is very, very important.
I swear, I married the one man on earth who just didn't like/get cars on any level. It's a big part of why we split up - he wanted kids, I wanted a garage full of Mazdas. :D
