i recently bought a nissan skyline, my dream car.
on the way home from buying it a conrod blew out the engine and was unfixable. the garage kindly gave my money back minus towing charges.
i got home and started looking to replace it with another only to be told by my wife that it wasnt going to happen.
what would you say or do?

talk to her and find out why she doesn't want you to have it. Then explain to her why you want it. you two need to come to a conclusion together rather than just one coming to the conclusion that he/she wants, besides you can always tell her that she doesnt control you and that if she doesnt learn that you will get a divorce, that will make her listen to you. rather than just going behind her back and getting it anyways and creating a huge fight, talk it out and get things settled! then go buy one and send it to me! lol just kidding!

Ive just done the same kind of thing. My dream car that is affordable was a Volvo T5. I have three kids and this was a very good compromise for speed and size. It is an estate.My wife said that if I got the T5 then she had to get a small car for herself as we work different hours. I was most happy to assist in the matter as she was NOT gunna drive my baby! Get another car mate, I know how you feel. She is just worried about the reliability of them. Look for longer, check em out and find one that knocks the socks off the last one!Just make sure you get it serviced as soon as you get it home. Enjoy!

Skyline Vs Wife? Tough question... The answer depends on who you really are!!
Are you the kind of person who is going to do what he wants and live with the consequences?
Are you the kind of person who will give in to someone else's demands for the sake of a quiet life?
Are you the kind of person who NEEDS a wife?
Or are you the kind of person who NEEDS a Skyline?
My answer to you is this - if she left you buy the first one then thats it, you can have one!!
My advice to you - NEVER ask her permission to buy a car again!! Just come home with it. If she leaves you for that then good riddance, do you want to be married to someone who would prevent you from achieving your dreams?
If she starts with all the "we're supposed to be a couple" BS then point out that a couple consists of 2 individuals who RESPECT each others wishes.
Yeah bro, I've been there..... and I know how hard it is. Never Give Up!!!

Sounds like you have 2 babies to take care of at home. It's time for your Mr. to get another Jobby-Job if he wants more toys. Besides, he should be taking care of you and the baby. His priorities need to do a 180. Behind every great man is a great woman, he should realize that. Hang in there!

I think you should buy my skyline as iam selling mine for a newer R33 and we wont tell your wife how much it cost hey i will even put a ford badge on think she would notice.
bargain skyline
The trouble is once you have owned one there like a drug i find reasons to go out in mine all the time.

I would just wonder as to why she didn't have a problem with first one you bought. I would talk this out with her , you two should be able to work out a resonable agreement to keeping your wife and getting your dream car. Good Luck.

Hmm whats your wife like?
Cars and women are both expensive items.
However you can turn cars off and put them away when not needed.
They dont answer you back.
Ditch the wife keep the car.

The problem with getting a "dream car" is that it will cost a fortune in insurance and servicing.
If you have a wife and children, it would be somewhat selfish to spend all that money on yourself.
If you aren't prepared to compromise, you shouldn't have got married.
Get a Civic Type R instead.

Sounds like you have probably done stuff like this before and she is wary!! I would be.
Maybe you need to discuss this before going off and buying a car - rather large purshase for a unilateral decision!

Getting a divorce over a car is the most stupid thing I have ever heard of. You made a promise when you gave your marriage vows, not to her but to God. so if this car is more important then the promise that you made to God, then you better be careful, you break a promise to God, you will see what He will do
Good luck with this and God bless.
