It's a very healthy sign, I agree.

Watch The War of The Roses if you've been married 5 or so years or longer, you'll laugh much harder. I'm not really ashamed to admit this but I'd go that far if I were in MD's shoes too. I don't think about divorce because I'm very happily married, but I can say it would get nassstyyyy if it were indicated.

I’m sure others here have us beat but this is our 35th year of marriage and 38 years since we met. My wife has never complained about any of my car purchases, even the questionable ones, and I try super hard to bite my tongue when our Amazon or other delivery guy rings the doorbell and drops something off several times a day

Im right there with you. Packages get delivered all day long, even at 6am, from Amazon or Target and I have no idea what’s in them because none of them are for me. Like you I just bite my tongue and don’t say a word.

You got me beat...28 years. Congrats

Although I'm not so lucky. I have to prepare her weeks in advanced, even when I was working on her Ioniq 5 lease. The only car she didn't complain about was when I bought the Y because at the time my father was sick and I was traveling back and forth to SoCal, which was the reason I bought it. Unfortunately, he passed away before I took delivery

Giving her a hard time before doing it works too. Keep things interesting.

Designed by Klingons, for Klingons. Hitting that shifter or using the climate control area sometimes makes you feel like you're trying to read Klingon.

And yeah, the USB thing pops up when you press down.

Def not but I really want to go to the Rose Bowl one year. Hopefully it doesn't burn down. It's really bad out there.

My prayers to all those affected out there. Thankfully my family in SoCal is all safe and away from the fires
