How can I justify a Ferrari to my wife.

Married 30 years and my wife has never once interfered, regardless of price. Boats, aircraft, homes, etc.

The only item she went absolutely berserk about was the two man submarine that I bought.

Told her I wouldn't go below 350 feet and she calmed down a bit.

 

Gosh, I bet that two man sub is completely safe up to 350 feet deep unless of coarse it sinks.

 

Hahah... That's awesome!

 

It’s frustrating, I know. I tell my clients what to do, but of course they don’t listen.

Dude, you sound ****ing awesome.

Edit: Also, lol at your locations. Do you travel to and fro via submarine?

 

The K-350 submarine is long gone but not forgotten (and my wife no longer has nightmares)

After a nice winter in the land of Palm Trees, I just arrived in Maine where it is cool and crisp.

Tell her your mistress hates it!

 

I read every post of this thread and just have to say: Thread of the Year Award! Loved it. Congrats to the OP. And his mention of his friend who is in his last stages of life, got me choked up a bit. We never know how many orbits around the sun will be granted to us, so might as well make the most of this thing we call life while you still can.

Wifey (whom I have not yet convinced to buy an F-car) did snort audibly when I read her, out loud, some of the suggestions for 'how to convince your wife')

 

Where? We have a place in Castine. Think sailboats not subs


TOTY.

 

@ScottS -

Our summer home is in South Bristol which is between Boothbay and Pemaquid.

I spent the past few days taking day trips to Rockland, Rockport, Camden and even Belfast. I've dropped a hook more than a few times in Castine which is a beautiful place.

 

No wife, long term girlfriend, My money My rules. You get to ride in the aircraft, Ferrari, Mercedes, stay at any of the houses. Just remember who is footing the bill . Simple. I do cook dinner tho

 

I like your style What kind of aircraft?

 

A Meridian.

 

Oh very nice. I've got a Columbia 400 and the PA46 would be the next logical step up. Unfortunately insurance has gone completely insane these past couple years. I have 10K hrs TT with 3000 multi turbine and even on a SE turboprop like the Meridian, they wanted bonkers money...

 

It really is a mess right now. Between that and fuel cost its less "fun"

 

The mistresses..

 

Well clearly you need black and gold stripes along the side of your 458 so that the mistresses match

 

Or tri color on the Meridian!

 

My "girls"

 

Yes! You've got room on the tail

 

I prInted out pictures of the car In different colors and “accidentally” left them on the printer with charts about price history of Ferraris. Next morning she said, “you’re buying a used Ferrari?”

my response: “yes, and can you help me decide on color, do you like the red or the Grigio Ingrid?”

I then explained the concept of a “lifestyle investment.” The odds are it’ll end up costing no more than the depreciation on a BMW, etc, but there is potential upside, went over the price history, and why I picked the Car I did. I then asked, “why do you think many Ferraris have gone up so much.’ She answered, “because they made so few, and they”re works of art?”

Done.

 

This is one of the best threads— sharing with Wifey— hilarious!!!

 

If your wife is angry with you, buy a ferrari
She will still be angry with you but you will have a ferrari

 

Exactly! Better to ask for forgiveness than permission!
