No, you don't need a bigger garage, or more space for cars. If we get a bigger place, you are like a fish, you will just grow to the size of your tank.

"I want a woody whacker (wood grained station wagon) with a diesel and that thing that makes this noise (a jake brake)"

I immediately start the gears turning in my head of a Vista Cruiser body on a mid 90's or newer full size Dodge diesel.

My response was "Do you want four wheel drive?"

"If you love that thing so much, how come you're always out in the garage swearing at it? You don't swear at me like that..."

"How can it be a better car if it costs $1000 less than what you sold the last one for?"

"There's no way I'm letting you buy a project car for our son now, he's only a year old. You'll have bought and sold 15 project cars for him by the time he's old enough to get his license."

When I announced my essential need for a new Mustang in 2005-- "You're not muscle car material, honey."

About my '65 F100--"Don't restore it. The scratches and stuff give it character."

My Spec E30 race car--"Can you make my Forester sound like that?"

Almost daily on her commute--"Aauugh!!! Stupid cell phone women and their SUVs. Get the berkeley out of my way!!"

"Seeing you get into that car reminds me of The Incredibles, when Mr. Incredible is trying to drive that itty bitty car." (Said about my Triumph Spitfire.)

when I bought the 944 Turbo, my previous gf said "can you find me a really small ruler, we need to do some measuring"

of course after she drove it she talked about it for weeks, and kept mumbling something about how she needed one too!
