  1. My wife won't let me get a Spec Miata car.

  2. My wife will let me get a motorcycle (wtf really?)

  3. A motorcycle engine locost maybe the best answer as I can use it to do something with the boys AND get a sports car.

  4. My wife wears the skirt and pants in my household (I knew the last one but I forgot)

I put a bike down at speed.

I now drive a Miata. It's safer.

She's just wrong on this one.

What you didn't learn this year is the difference between "maybe" and "may be".

I got $100 for you to tell her that and then spend the night on the couch.

The money will be on the entrance table for you in the morning....or your next of kin.

I too have been down, she knows that. The problem is she knows how I drive vs ride (I am much more conservative on two wheels than four) and she has no interest in riding the bike. She wants to drive the car yet refuses to learn a stick.

grrrrrrr.

You don't have a life insurance policy do you?

Obviously he does, hence her allowing the motorcycle.

To be fair, a real race car is going to be an order of magnitude more expensive than riding a bike occasionally.

Yes, I have insurance, but I also wouldn't ride occasionally. The last time I had a bike in the fleet I rode it 9 months out of the year daily. June, July and August are the only months I really skipped. You can only take off so many clothes. Although I am willing to bet the months would shift around a bit living where I do now.

Things my wife learned 30 years ago. She doesn't pick my cars, just like I don't pick hers.

Good luck with that.
