Schizo, I feel you brother. You are doing the right thing by taking the spin that the salesperson at the 4-s models or George Chamberlin on the radio tells you and letting us unspin it for you. You need to realize that you are looking for a reason to buy and still can’t find it. The fact that you are on this site means that you really do know better, you just need affirmation like someone who needs their AA meetings. We don’t need to convince you, you need to convince your wife. Model homes to wives can be like porshe dealerships to husbands, it’s better to not even go look at them. Everything about them are marketed to the wife, just understand that she can’t help herself much like you can’t not look at the big T.V.’s at costco, it’s instinct. Try some distractions on weekends, Summer is almost here and San Diego has a million fun things to do that can tie up your weekend. Buy her a dog, go look at the new hard top convertible BMW, feed the homeless, tell her the models are closed because they found a dead body there or that Oprah said the carpeting caused fibro-myalga, do anything but for god sake keep her away from those models.
