Nah. I have a Volvo wagon, and my wife is in the process of shopping for something bigger now (she currently has a Mazda3, which is pretty small).

A lot of people gave the stereotypical, chuckling "haw haw haw now that you're married, the little missus is going to make you sell your toy cars and buy a minivan."

What they don't realize is the family she's from.

Dad has five cars: a new Chevy pickup, an old Chevy pickup he uses for his ferrier business, a 1970 Chevy truck with a 350, a 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T, and a 1972 Plymouth Duster.

Mom has two cars: a Toyota SUV and a Boxster S.

Brother has four vehicles: a Toyota FJ, another Duster, an old Bronco, and some kind of "crotch-rocket" bike.

Uncle has... something like 20-30 cars? Pretty much every model Corvette from the early 60s to the late 70s, Boss 302 Mustangs, Rambler Scramblers, custom Mercury hot rods... in his warehouse, a friend also stores a custom-built 964 TWIN Turbo (big oil puddle next to that one for some reason), a Cayman GT4, and a 981 Boxster S.

So. She knows better than to try to separate a car guy from his toys
