no way. you are still your own person, make your own decisions. the ladies love to see how much they can control us and influence our decisions. the problem is, we try and make them happy thinking they will remember we tried and or stay happy. that doesn't happen, they only want more control and more influence...

get this, then years later, they'll get frustrated or become less interested in you because you're less of a challenge...

so you are screwed either way, I'd rather keep the car you clearly have a passion for, than placate a wife who will simply move on to the next thing she wants you to do differently regardless of what decision you make in this case...
