Vin wiki : car advice, financial advice, and marital advice what more do men need ?

As a marriage therapist and car enthusiast… I approve of this message.

That was the longest sales pitch for a t-shirt the world will ever see. 🤣

The fewer divorces you have, the better chances you'll have to have the money for a car.

I’m a Auto Technician. My Wife would get mad at me for Buying tools. She finally figured out if I don’t have tools I can’t make $$$. But when I buy vehicles she gets mad. I buy older GM trucks. I bought me a 99 suburban at a Auction. She was pissed that I bought it. Now it’s her Daily Driver.
She realized I know what I’m doing. After 30 years she just goes with it

Also, as a car guy, resist the urge of getting your significant other car related gifts.

"Women, typically, are more inclined to have a need for security"
And that is the story right there.

My wife says that she rather have me spend money on cars than women. 21 years of marriage

The “Truth shall set you free”. Great video as always.

My 5-yr old saw the pic of us at halloween a couple years ago and said “that’s me when I was a fat-cheek man!”

And then said “momma I want to watch something else”

What does your significant other think about your car habits?

[justinkroeker]

8 years married and I have flipped more crazy things than I can remember. I tell my friends that ask if my wife gets mad, or say their wife wouldn’t let them “if every car you bought made money how many would your wife let you buy?”

I think Chris might want to watch this video…

“my wife, at the time…”

This is good advice all around. I once heard someone say, "It's not about the miles but it's about the SMILES" and at the end when you mentioned that a car is not an investment, but it's purpose is to have fun, it also reminded me of what others on this channel have said about how a car tends to have more perceived value when the previous owner has fully enjoyed it and can tell stories about it. I'm sure that there's a mullet wearing g-body enthusiast in every city that has a 4-mile Monte Carlo that's probably not worth anything close to what they paid for it.

"Keep Your Woman
Switch Cars"
Love it!

Biggest thing I learned selling cars when I was 18 is buy cars planning for a loss (ideally, know the potential yearly loss), then be excited when they break even or show profit. Most importantly, enjoy the hell out of them while you own it! The "too good to be true" deals almost never happen these days (especially when even the most ignorant seller being able to find everything they could ever need to know about value in 2 minutes) so just buy the cars you want for the best deal you can negotiate & enjoy the ride.

Rad work ahead is the best road sign ever!

[bennettmorris]

I feel like if I was not with a woman who was okay with me enjoying my car passion and buying cars, I’d rather just be single 🤷‍♂️

[MultiSpencerc]

This is why I have a blast with my $3000 Pontiac Fiero. Cheap to buy, cheap to own, and at the end of the day, if I lose money on it, oh well, I'm not that far into the car anyway.

Great video. My wife of 25 years enjoyed it as well. I just recently pulled her into the hobby with me by getting her a 2008 Miata PRHT to go along with my 1996. In fact Doug had a silver one for sale back in May when we were looking but it got gone before we could sort out the logistics of getting to Ohio. She wasn't keen on road tripping for a toy. So we bought local.
