Why is it males have to be so hard headed? And why is it some males... are just STOOPID. Beyond normal stupid... truly dumb enough that they deserve extra letters!

I bought myself a car today. I have been driving around a ginormous SUV. It sucks enough gas that I am relatively certain I have paid for a vacation home for a Saudi Prince at some point. Bottom line, for years I have driven a mom mobile. Minivans, SUV's even a station wagon.

I bought a very gently used BMW Z3!!! That's right. TWO SEATS! That's it! BRIGHT red, tan leather interior, rag top, G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!!! Personalized license plate is on order. Suffice it to say, it clearly states the car is MINE Dirol

I get home and it starts.

DH isn't happy because it only seats two.
"That is one of the reasons I bought it."

DH isn't happy because: What if we have to go for a CS review again... what are they going to say about us owning a BMW?
"What is this we shit? You have a mouse in your pocket? Because my finances, to include property or vehicles I own are NOT involved buddy."

Then he decides he guesses it's ok. Since it's a smaller car, it will be easier for HIS KIDS to learn to drive in verses the SUV
"LIKE HELL!"

He got a half an hour lecture over how I share my house and damn near everything I do own or ever did own with him and his kids. THE CAR IS MINE! NO CHILD shall ever step foot in it. Age 30 and up to crack open the door and even STARE at the interior!!!

I figure the subject is done. I am on the phone, with my mother and DH informs me he is running up to the store. Normally he does drive his own POS mustang, but as I was talking to mom I heard a car start, and did not hear the rattle and cough of his car so figured he took the SUV. (Did not trade it in, as we do need a vehicle large enough for all to fit it... I just do not need to drive something that big (or old) everyday!)

I get off the phone walk out to the living room and there sit the two youngest skids. Asked where the older boy is "He went with dad."

Can you see where this is going??

20 minutes later I get an irate phone call from DH. He got pulled over IN MY NEW CAR! See in Florida your temporary tags are made of PAPER... it was RAINING so I took it off and put it in my purse. This was when I found out he 1) took MY CAR and 2) had his STINKY teenage son in it!

Oh I got to drive out to bring the tag to show the cop the car was legal. I then confiscated DH's key to my NEW car, got in it and left.

He still isn't home. I think he realizes when he gets here I am going to kill him.

I would...Not his car. DH doesn't take mine and I don't take his. My son has a car that I pay for and he seems to think that his son will just get that car when mine leaves for college next year, I have not decided how that is going to play out yet.

I would completely lose it on him. This is not his toy, it is yours...

I'd be pissed too. If you don't nip this one now, it will get worse. I let it go and my nice car is trashed.

DH lets SD9 sit in my expensive sports car that I BOUGHT and paid off on my own before I even met him. He lets her eat & draw, and leave trash/papers in it. It's irritating because when I met DH, he had severe debt, including a $500/mo car payment, $10K in credit cards, and a $3,600/mo mortgage since he couldn't sell his house.

I worked and helped him get completely out of debt. And my reward is to have my car trashed.

He comes to me with debt, baggage, AND a bratty kid. I come to him with a career, $200K in my savings, and no debt.

I understand you--THE CAR IS YOURS!!

Why on earth would he encourage him to get a license? DUI please??? The fact that he is 25 and does not have a license says it all!! I feel for you.

Yeah, he BETTER not come home for a few days.
What an idiot! You buy something for YOU and he turns right around and and... I am furious for you!
So how about this? Wind the windows down in his POS car and Superglue along the top of the window so it glues open. Take THAT SUCKA!

Holy Fuck! I would have driven out there and told the cop I have no idea who these people are but thank you for finding my stolen car! Fuck! I am livid for you! Ooo and his stinky child was in it too! Take it back to the dealer have them detail it again and put the charge on your husband's card if he has one!

Don't MESS with a woman and her Beamer!!!!! Look at it this way - the iron-clad boundaries are now excruciatingly clear - and DH's ass won't be even in the passenger's seat. The nerve.
You go enjoy your hot wheels, on a long long drive. alone. GOOD FOR YOU JHW!!!!!

Oh HELL NO!!!

DH bought a $40k Jeep without telling me. That was bad enough.

When I bought my Audi, (A4 with the sport/luxury package) oh hey, I thought about how it would affect DH and SD16. That's why I didn't get an A5 or a TT or a BMW Z4. SD16 can ride in it - but THAT'S IT. DH drives it, but ONLY when I am there. If he took it without asking, omg, there would be HELL TO PAY. What's mine is mine, what's his is his - if he wants to teach his kid how to drive, it won't be in MY CAR.

Besides, I would think that Z3 is a stick shift like my Audi. I tried to teach SD16 how to drive my Jeep (also a stick) but she FREAKED - so I don't have to worry about my car going missing - ever.

OH SOMEONE WOULD DIE!!!

I have never gotten to choose my own car. They've all been the same color that I HATE. I had a regular car that my ex bought. Then a damned minivan that the ex chose. After my minivan trashed I thought 'great, I FINALLY get to pick something that I want'. I really needed a car at that point and DH and I had just started talking about moving in together. He takes it upon himself to go buy me another mom mobile because he didn't want me to have to have a car payment. It was nice of him, and he was just trying to be nice, so I dealt with it. It was not expensive, so I figured I could just get something else when I could afford it.

And now DH has been talking about me getting a better car. But he wants me to get something that all SIX of us will fit in. I told him no. I don't want him buying my car, I want to do it myself. I want to pay for it myself. I want to CHOOSE it myself. And I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER MOM MOBILE. He keep bitching about what if we all go somewhere. WE NEVER DO. If we did, we could rent a damned car. I DO NOT want a SUV or another damned minivan. I want a small black car.

So he acts like I'm being selfish about it.
