Yeah, that's what she keeps pointing out..


Insurance Co totaled the Camry on us, so needed something to replace it. Been jonesing for a SHO, figured would be good for her as a DD, but she spotted this one.

Could have been an Audi wagon, just saying.

My wife is about the same size, but blonde.

Well not too put toooo fine a point on it, but your wife's choice certainly isn't an automatic 'chick' car, and judging by the rest of the driveway, it looks like the man of the house is doing just fine in the toy department!

Your breaking The Guy Code, Hard Drive!!

All kidding aside I'm not complaining. I actually like it. Her cars have always been our "good car", as mine have always been the "toys". The SHO was way too big for her.
