I have 7 vehicles in my name, and she has 1. We have 8 vehicles on the property, plus a race car trailer. I think I know what you are talking about. I have offered to sell all but one Porsche, but she knows that if we do that, I will just go out and buy a new sports car. I threaten her with an $80K sports car. That usually cools her. Even the kis have commented about why mom has to drive around in her old car, while have all the toys and keep buying cars. But all of my cars are paid for and like you, I don't HAVE to fix anyone of them when they break.

We're in the market for a new car now, and that's only because we're planning on a larger family and we can't fit everyone in any single car. So we're buying her an 8 passenger Saturn Outlook. She seems to be happy with that, but she's disappointed she isn't getting her fun car, which I promised her would be a convertible (Boxster, 996 cab or BMW 3-series conv.). She'll be content with the new vehicle for a while, but if I go out and buy another vehicle, it'll all start up again.

I know what you're going through. But don't sell your 911's. It'll bad for your marriage. You'll resent her and you won't be happy until you get another 911. You'll be better off getting her a new vehicle if she won't accept the, "all the problems are now fixed on the Suburban" line.

Take her shopping for a new sports car, and let her see what they cost. She might have second thoughts about you selling your old, paid for 911s.
