Easy. Agree to expand the family

Full story on the art of the deal. And FWIW, here's the puppy at about 2/3 her adult size:

How to convince the wife I need 2 Porsches?

Just own 3 of them at once and she'll think owning 2 is a step in the right direction. My wife is trying to whittle me down to zero.

I did not have to ask. I WAS TOLD to buy a second Porsche. AT the last D.E., I lost the clutch in my 89 944, also DD. My wife said no more driving the daily at the track. Find another one to use on track day. looking for a 964. Was going for a 951, but everyone said not to, get a 911. So I say get a second Porsche, whatever it may be. Two are better than one, Kinda like girl friends, *****, beer- one for each hand. Oh I guess with two girl friends that would be four *****. Even better.
Good luck

I've owned 3 at once... 944, 951, and 986. Then got rid of the turbo and got another 944 chumpcar. The trick is to get one she can drive too!

beat me to it. I tell the wife a lot of guys my age are buying red convertibles and banging their 20 yr old secretarys. Reminds her of how good she has it

ideola, that is one seriously cute puppie/dog! I don't think any woman can stay mad long around that kind of cuteness

Tell the old lady that the rear "seats" in these cars were designed as "puppy pads"....wouldn't be far from the truth...

You say:

"This way when one is broken*, I wont have to borrow your car, I can just use the other one!"







*Be sure not to mention that its very possible both will break at the same time.

Its easier to ask for forgiveness than to beg for permission.
