How would you respond?
 
My 2014 991 C2S was a the freeze point in it`s build on Friday. At gathering Sunday a family member asked if I was I buying a new Porsche. The wife was 10 -12 feet away I thought not paying attention when I said that the progress on the build was as stated above. I thought nothing of the conversation. My wife said nothing about it then.

Ok today is Tuesday (two days after the incident) two ours ago the my wife of 45 years walks into my den sits down ad asks me "Now just what will this new Porsche do that the Cayman out in the garage (`08 Cayman S), will not do?"

Well to stir some response from this group just what would you have said! :confused: :)

Want some female advice??
Tell her that there will fit more pair of Christian Louboutin at once in a 911! ;)

Edit: Or Sain Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana, Jimmy Choo.... Whatever she like most! :)

Misdirection. Distract her ... tell her that you need the rear seats for the baby your 23-year-old mistress is expecting.

She will forget all about the car.

rnl 08-20-2013 07:44 PM

This is simple. Just tell her that it will make you very happy.

Not sure about that one... ;)
My response on that answer would be: Ah, so you're saying that you are not very happy with me!? (Female logic... Married men should know that by now!) LOL hilarious

Well, it worked for me although I've only been married for 27 years.

I'd respond: Come on, how can you be so ignorant about P-cars, Really?? :rolleyes:

The c2s is more comfortable and grand kids love riding in the back seats.

998M 08-20-2013 09:57 PM

Borrow the dealer demo car and take her for a ride. After my wife stopped throwing up, she thought it was great.

Then again she might just be a lost cause. And you should go with the mistress option.

Tell her the Cayman is not the best car Porsche has to offer. You have now decided that from now on, only the best will do for the both of you.

Your welcome.

Last week, my new BBQ grill was being installed and the wife asked about the old one. I said the new one is much better, and I said it was about the same price as 4 pairs of her shoes. I thought that was clever at the time. Just got back from Las Vegas, came home with 4 pairs of Nicholas Kirkwood shoes, NOT EVEN CLOSE!
