When I was all bummed because they wouldn't build me an Aerowagon Mrs. Deuce said "you should just get a CTS-V Wagon."
So I did.

My restraint is improving.

So, instead of the #1 answer, I'll go with #2: Why would you want to sell the elky? It's pretty cool. (Mind you she hated it, refused to ride in it, and called it a rolling advertisement for tetanus shots the first couple of years it was around)

I like the name Rhys for the next baby.

Why don't you call Corksport about that turbo to replace your broken one?

"You really need to put a turbo on the race car." And now I have a boosted KA24E in my 240SX

" You should also buy a fresh set of Hoosiers for the National Tour" - I didn't follow up on that one...yet.

"I'm not crazy about you autocrossing your DD, could you find something cheap just to race?"

I didn't stop searching Craigslist for Miatas for about 3 days straight.

This would later be followed by: "Why don't you fix the top so you can drive the Miata more?", "You never really spend much money, why don't you have it repainted so it looks better?" and "If you are going to take it out on a track, shouldn't if have a roll bar?"

I was about to take it there a few hours ago, but I maintained my composure.

I thank all of you for playing nicely. I was so dumbstruck after it happened I hadn't considered the possible that's what she said responses.

I was asked this evening when I was going to look at it...

Mrs. Deuce said "you mean MY 911?" after driving it to work for a week straight. It's her 911.

Nope!

OK, how about "I think I want another baby." Repeatedly.

Nope...Sorry. Not feeling it.

Your kids seem pretty amazing from what we can tell. You are a lucky SOB.

SO looked at me when I came into the house covered with sanding dust and reeking of skim-filler:

"Why don't you sell the Miata and buy a Porsche Boxster?"

Of course, soon after, I came into the house covered with all the stains and stinks of an IMS bearing replacement.

"Go into work today and quit your job."

She told me that every day for months until I finally did. Now I work for myself from home. Been two years since I stepped inside an real office. Today I wrote an article for my site, did some pay work, ate a slice of homemade apple pie, washed the dishes while watching Robot Chicken on-deman, and played a little Nintendo. Life's not too bad.

Her: "What do you want to do for our anniversary?"

Me: "We could go to Italy for a week."

Her: "Oh... well I thought we could buy a motorcycle and tour the north shore."

We bought a bike three days later.

After my truck got stolen (because she made me drive it somewhere I didn't want to go), she said "This is like my fault I'll buy you a Porsche if the truck doesn't her recovered".

They found the truck but at least I have record of her saying something was her fault.
