Would you sell your Ferrari if your Wife/ Girlfriend/ Mistress demanded it ?

thread please? Sounds like more at issue here than a car...

 

gotta keep the cars...it's not always easy to manage a woman, but the car disease only gets worse. words to the uninitiated, go way negative when the courting process begins and let the woman know that she will probably never be able to handle the car issue. if she says she can and she wants to stay around...she has been duly warned!

GO WAY NEGATIVE AND ESTABLISH THE PRECEDENT!

 

If she had a good enough reason (which I doubt) I probably would. If we were having financial issues or something along those lines, then yes. If she wants me to sell it because she doesn't like me in something that fast, then no.

 

Sounds like a control issue. Unequivical demands like this have no basis in a relationship on either side unless the Ferrari is causing financial difficulties (or she has seen the owner picking up other women, but that's another issue).

While it may sound selfish to check the "She's gone" box, that relationship is already in trouble and both would probably be better off ending it now before kids become a part of the equation and the inevitable separation is much worse.

 

If your woman knows you at all, she'll know you've worked your entire life to get to where you are so you can have your Ferrari you've always wanted. A good wife wouldn't make you get rid of it, unless maybe it was causing some financial problems, in which it would be best to sell it.

Dont make yourself broke to get a Ferrari, if you can you can, if you cant you cant.

 

We share the title 50/50, and my wife she says wouldn't let me sell it. If she wanted to, it would be for a very urgent and good reason.

If I were single and it was a girlfriend, she could take a walk.

If I had a mistress...I don't even want to think about it.

 

Ideally my wife will never ask me to sell it because if i married her it will because she's a Ferrari nut/car nut .

But if i get married for the wrong reason or when drunk and one day she asks me to get rid of my ferrari(s) , i ll tell her to mind her business considering of course we arent living under the bridge because of my passion.

 

Well, without more facts, and i'm sure there are some, it's hard to judge this. Sure, in a vacuum, wife demanding that husband sell exotic car seems like an over-reaching demand, but

*are there money problems

*is hubby doing something inappropriate to the marriage, ie having an affair, which somehow involves the car, or makes wife believe he is shtupping the mechanic?

*what's the story with their relationship? That's not something we can readily evaluate on the web. The fact that it's being presented as "my wife is making me sell my F car" is itself telling, don't you think?

 

No sale, no how!
They will bury me in a Ferrari. Period.

I actually dated a girl that hated my Ferrari. It was very short lived.

I thought the same thing when I saw that thread.

I f-ed around enough (before I got married) to know that my wife is not the type who would ever make such a demand!

 

I think if A ferrari owner is jeopardising his family financially, then a wife is well within her rights to demand he sell it. Girl friends or mistresses? You have to be kidding! Easier to find women than earn a Ferrari.

My wife had issues about spending so much on a toy car, but we were always in a position to easily afford them and when she understood what it meant to me, she wanted me to have one. For that, I am grateful that a chose a wife wisely!

If it's other than financial reasons then no. If she's got you p-whipped that bad then she's obviously had you give up other things during the relationship. Asking a guy to give up a car he loves is like asking him to quit talking to his best friend he's known his entire life.

 

Bah ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELL NO!!

 

If it is the wife that wants me to sell the Ferrari, then we will sit down and really work out whatever is the true issue at heart. Because unless you really figure what it is, today will be the Ferrari and who knows what tomorrow will be. And with that resolved, hopefully that would be the end of it. But to risk a marriage/family because of a car is a little silly.

However, if this is a girlfriend/fiancee'/mistress, then there is no room for discussion as it is clear that they do not know me at all. I will help them pack their bags immediately.

PS: I am one of the lucky ones, my wife understands and respects my passion for Ferrari. She also knows that the Ferrari is in the "untouchable" catagory.

 

Get rid of the girl.
Unless the guy is spending all the families money and his time with the car.

 

Ideal g/f, mistress, whatever: After a nice roll in the hay she morphs into your 3 best bros and a 12-pack

 

Would you sell your Ferrari if your Wife/ Girlfriend/ Mistress demanded it ?

Short answer:

No

I actually asked my wife this question and her response was, "it makes you happy.... and that makes me happy'"

That's the kind of answer you want.

BTW - the other issue of money doesn't fit the question. Because if we had money issues, I wouldn't need her to tell me to sell it. I'd be way ahead of her if it wasn't a good decision to keep it.

 

My wife actually bought my ferrari. Not that I couldn't but that I wouldn't. She gives me everything that I can Imagine ,I love Ferrari with a passion also but I hope that my passion for my wife will always supercede everything else. Some may say it wasn't easy to get a Ferrari some may say it was, I can tell you guys this much my wife is the "only edition ever made" for me and I knew that way before she ever bought me even a Hallmark card on our first anniversary. I admire "her" passion.

" The things that last the longest are sometimes the ones your willing to let go" A boomerrang always comes back if you throw it right!

 

Ditto - besides, she signed the papers for it, not I.

 

I have stayed single for life (at least so far). That's probably the only way I was able to buy a Ferrari. Some of my friends who are in the same income bracket as me and have the same interest in the marque say they can't, because they have a wife, kids, mortgage, etc..... So I guess this is one benefit of remaining a bachelor.

This thread sort of reminds one of the old joke (paraphrased): "I got a Ferrari for my wife.....Best trade I ever made."
