Gas mileage mostly. She has a hybrid highlander. She drives a sh!t ton.

Also, the subtext is fantastic. I would know, I wrote it. 😆
Makes sense for the mpg. But now worried about how enthusiastic my gf (soon to be fiance if all goes well) has been about my mav. I think im being buttered up for agreeing to whatever she wants for possible kids.

considering my wife drives a fiat 500, i still have the bigger vehicle, was a ranger before this, a jeep, a colorado, a honda fit, a transit connect, a ram 1500, a c20 chevy, and a cargo van on 33's with 14" of travel before that. All in the time my wife has had the same damn fiat.

she doesn't care what i drive.

as someone who's been with my wife for 20 years now.... get all those conversations out of the way BEFORE you get married.

Subaru gal so....ascent it is. oh god. I'd take the Sienna hybrid tbh. A buddy has one for his family and it's plush. But she hates vans

My wife laughed the day I drove mine home. Could not believe I bought a baby truck. She said she has no idea why I would want to drive around in something so tiny. I showed her it is bigger than my wrangle, her answer the wrangler looks manly at least

Damn, your wife is savage. That's probably what mine WANTS to say though. Just saving my feels.

Yes we don’t hold back much on things like this. She wanted me to buy a Black Widow F150 that she would need a ladder to get into. I stuck with Maverick and Hope she sticks to her word and doesn’t drive it.
