[quote=flu]When my dad turned 70. I bought him a $75k car. He and my.mom were a little concerned since they’ve been thrifty all their life. So I got an earful about spending my money more wisely…
To which I said, something to the effect….don’t worry, I didn’t really spend my money. I really spent part of your money you were going to leave me….if you object to my choices I make for your money, I suggest you spend it to your liking right now before I do.just saying…
Considering your kids saved you a boatload money by going to state schools, get the P car for your wife if that’s what she wants. At least you can enjoy it every now and then with her… And not she enjoys it with her husband 2.0 once you kicked the fence.[/quote]
one good thing about base mini cooper. its quick but has a lowish top speed. doesnt really like to go over 70.
so no speeding tix for her in 4 years!
porsche would change all that. heck ive had loaner turbo mini cars, very difficult not to speed in.
