Learned from the best. My parents went from a Porsche 912 to a 190E 2.3-16 (mom) and an Alpha Spyder to an Audi Quattro (dad “ at least it had a back seat”)

Hmm.. my wife has talked me into my last two sports car purchases when I was waffling in the pre-purchase “I want this, but do I REALLY want this?” stage.

However once I put a ring on that finger I’m pretty sure I could sneak something else in the driveway and she wouldn’t say anything.

I’ve not used Bridgewater Acura, but they can’t be as bad as Clinton Acura, who are largely to blame for my wife and I falling out of love with our MDX and recently trading for a Flex.

My wife and I have a deal. She doesn’t say a thing about my car habit, and I say nothing about her clothes, shoes and handbags. Quite honestly, I think she spends more than I do, but the kids eat so who cares.

Maybe I should get a car from the 1930's that has a hand crank...

I’m 50 and am having two older cars rebuilt - a ‘66 Ford and an ‘80 450 SL. They should last till I am no longer able to drive, and I will chuckle at everyone’s computer-mobiles being hacked, tracked or otherwise molested. And if there’s an EMP attack I still have the old points ignition for the Ford so I can ride…

I don’t feel bad for you. You have an AMG-GT and probably a baller couch.

My wife was like that. I once gave her 1000 and told her to go shopping. For herself! She never spent money on herself. When she came home from shopping that day, she had bought two things for herself (maybe 30 bucks worth) and spent the rest on the kids. I knew that was going to happen because it was getting close to…

Was driving a 2005 Mini Cooper S JCW and wife had a (really nicely tuned) Integra GSR, she got pregnant and began fretting about cars. I secretly took the day off work without telling her and traded the Mini in on a 2012 STI for her (she was going to stay home with the baby so figured that I could drive the Integra…

I bought an ex-girlfriend a Toyota Matrix AWD one time. We live in Denver, so these cars are like gold. She did not react this way, and now both the girlfriend and the car (I sold it) are gone.

I legit slept on the couch for a month after buying an AMG-GT without telling my wife.

Classic! Works on cats too

I support this theory fully.

Why are we scared about the cars being hacked? Maybe, just maybe, it has to do with damned near every company that collects and sells our personal information being hacked on a regular basis.

The very wealthy and powerful occupants of the autonomous Maybach are traveling at 98 mph, which is allowed as they paid the enormous speed safety tax are about to hit a rock that suddenly fell of a cliff, the computer has milli seconds to calculate if it should swerve left which has a possibility of 99.9% of…

Can you blame us? Half of us are affected by the Equifax breach, not to mention all the other major security breaches in recent memory alone (how about Yahoo, all 3 billion accounts all being affected). Cars are already able to be manipulated remotely, why should we trust more and more control systems to computers…

You’re both overestimate just how important you are, and how difficult you’d be to track if someone put in the effort.

Americans are scared of everything. Yet they don’t seem to be scared of things they should be scared of. Equifax just gave criminals the keys to your house, yet there is hardly any outrage. Two world leaders with nukes are threatening which one can rain more “fire and fury” on each other’s countries. People with guns…

I’m really more concerned about the features than the bugs.
