Default I think I lost the RX...

To my wife. She bought her 2012 C70 in June and I got the RX end of October (drove it off Nov 2nd) and for the last couple of days thanks to my plantar fasciitis she's been driving the first vehicle at the end of the driveway. Guess which one that is?

I think she's putting more miles on it in 2 days than I've done in the last 2 weeks. She's mentioned to me that after this is paid off I can give it to her, she will give me the C70 and I can trade that on whatever my next vehicle would be. Problem is I really like the RX and was kind of planning on keeping it myself after the payoff.

Oh what to do...

Seriously though. She adores the thing more than I do. And honestly I like the hardtop convertible feature of her C70. F&F on the IS C is much better but alas no FWD ar AWD so as a year round car in Lehigh Valley it won't work. Guess I have 4.5 years to figure that one out.

I don't blame her, the RX350 is an amazing piece of engineering!

It's called 'Marriage'. The good and in your case, the good . It could have been worse, her car might have been a BMW .

Pray for global warming so your wife prefers driving her C70 instead of your RX

Just go ahead and get rid of the C70 for the RX. Or if you wait, who knows, you might like the RX's update in 2014.

As long as the wife is happy, you are in good shape. Maybe trade in the C70 for an ISF!
