Thankfully, I have one of those wives that "gets" the whole driving experience, along with my boylike glee that comes with the FR-S. May be part of the reason I married her

And, as far as those guys who have had their dreams "crushed," they were obviously p-whipped and couldn't explain the necessity of having such a fine car to their woman. Or they married a complete bitch, just sayin.

If I may pontificate: Marriage should always be a friendly compromise. If one side is always giving into the other, you can guess that the one who is giving up what they want will be unhappy. I pity those who didn't take the time to properly get to know their wives and married them simply because "oh, she's hot." When you see these "best wife ever" posts and pictures, its because she knows this as well as anyone else: Marriage is a partnership. You may not get what you want 100% of the time, but if you can keep it at a solid 50%, everyone will end up happy.

True when my grandparents were married, and true today.
