Mine has always allowed me to enjoy my toys without complaint. She used to go to the track and watch me race, although she took to staying in the van after the second wreck ! We've always driven used cars , but she did request a new car the last time around, so we got a brand new Xb 3 years ago. When I retired I was talking about building a garage when we get our retirement home and she had no issues with it. She'll tell anyone who asks that she doesn't mind my car affliction because I could be drinking the money ! We'll be 25 years married next month.
