1988 thunderbird turbo coupe engine blown but comes with a freshly rebuilt motor that needs to be installed. I bought it as a project but I'm selling it because my wife complains about EVERYTHING!!! Also comes with extra short block that can be rebuilt and various extra parts. Asking $1200 if you email me but I'll sell it for $1000 if you call my wife (Alissa) at (785) six o 8 nine 8 o 8 and make her feel bad for not supporting her husband. I can send pics. Thanks for looking.
Matt.

Seriously? His wife complains about EVERYTHING and this guy thinks that selling a car is gonna fix that?
Well under challenge money, though.

My roommate and I just bought a lazy boy for $20. The ad read:
Lazy Boy recliner. It's really old, probably 20 years or so. But it's still really comfortable. I would still be sitting in it, but it's blue and our furniture is all green. My wife thinks a blue recliner looks strange. She apparently needs to sit in it more. $20.

Maybe he should look into selling the "everything-complaining" wife on CL, and keep the car.

is it possible that everything he does is completely worthy of complaining about?
Is it possible that she's just way too picky and inflexible? And maybe everything she does is worth complaining about as well?

Lets pretend in this case it is her fault.. Lets say she is a whining bitchy nagging kinda girl..
Even in that case.. .....
Maybe we have become a bit to culturally accepting of these kinds of outbursts?
It takes a rare woman to put up with a deep rooted vehicular addiction and the inevitable tomfoolery that comes with it.
