Ha!! I can’t believe I actually nailed it. Ngl I think that would be grounds for a divorce right there. You wanna pick the 50 million decorations in the house? Go right ahead. **** you even wanna pick the house? Go right ahead. But don’t have a say on my car or what goes in the garage. Those are my two sacred spaces lol

I'm with you.. my wife doesn't care what I drive or what car I buy. She cares about her car period.. then again we don't have kids yet. She is just happy that I'm happy and that I'm not losing any money on my trade-in. I'm so lucky...

^^ Must be a language barrier on my end (since I am French speaking) but your wife has car period? (lol)

lol!

I think it should have been "car, period". Like, she cares about her car, full stop.

My wife and I are having a similar discussion at the moment. I honestly think the IS would work if it was just the baby and one of us, but if all three need to go somewhere, we can take the X3. She, however, thinks I'll hate loading up the baby and all their stuff into my "low" car. I disagree; I think it would be a cool Dad Car. :D

The youngins need to learn to appreciate V8 goodness so they can make proper vroom vroom sounds.

Arentz - I was just trying to be cute ;)

That part! Plus the V8 sounds have been known to lull a restless little one to sleep. Or is that what my parents said about me as a kid? 🤔

IS500 passengers will truly never hear the V8 until the owner installs a mid pipe (at the minimum). just like, "you don't hear Jimmy!" #IYKYK

Which midpipe did you go with?

Brosquito -After almost 2 years of ownership of the IS 500, I can tell you that you will absolutely love this car, it is just amazing and while I am sad that I have put it away for the winter, the countdown to my spring reunion has begun. Make sure you update us as soon as you get it :)

Just curious have anyone of you owned German cars in the past let alone a BMW? I went to check out a '24 M3 manual rwd & BMW has some great lease plans (36 Months). My entire life I have owned nothing but Japanese cars & never leased a car before.
