Man I'm I pissed. My girlfriend ask me to assist her in her next car purchase. She wanted a new truck but was considering a C5 or some kind of bird like mine. Her budget was around 30 grand. We went to all the dealers numerous times for test drives and I was searching high and low on-line across America. She finally couldn't take it anymore because water was leaking into her interior from underneath her 6 year old car I wont mention. In one day on her own she bought a new Taurus SEL and blew her money. After all my time and effort she bought a crappy ford. I broke it off immediately although I'm hurting and very dissappointed. Can't see myself gettin hitched to a women who makes such a bad decision in one day. I bet Ford made at least 5 grand off this hasty deal. Now I'm the mean bad guy although I talked to her on her cell while she was writing up the deal and begged and pleaded with her not to do this or we are finished cause she has 5 years of payments on this piece of junk. Am I really that cold and mean or am I making the right decision?

 

I think your the only stupid one here. this is what i see.... You broke up someone you care about because they bought a car you didn't like..

umm ya


Im sure she will find someone soon that will support her though all lifes difficult decisions...

 

Call me stupid but who would buy a car in 2 hours without haggling or doing more research and test drives. We were looking at trucks and sports cars then one morning comes over in a new Taurus SEL. This is the straw that broke the camels back cause things weren't going as good as they should have been. Call me shallow or materialistic cause that is partially true. Now I see all the year-end deals coming and seeing her get ripped-off burns me up. You can say it was her money but she wanted a truck or sports car then had her mind changed by some smooth talking salesman. Could have had an 04 F-150 4x2 crew-cab for that price when I took her there. Then she goes on her own and they say all the trucks they have left are for lease.

 

Ok your shallow and materialistic

its not the fact that she got boned on a deal... what do you know that taurus is probably a hell of a lot safer then your car... who ****ing cares its the fact that you broke up with her because she bought a car.. do you own her... does all her decisions have to be agreeed on by you in order for a relationship to work...

wow just wow.

 

you said it yourself.. "She finally couldn't take it........." and ".....after all of YOUR time........". She can make her own decsions and thats what she did. Yo u obviously didn't have enough of an influence on her for her to listen to your opinion. And yes your being shallow.

 

I don't think the car is the issue here. If you were happy with the relationship she could of bought a yugo and you'd still be together.

 

wow

 

I think Drumhawk is right, the chick is stupid, and so is Talos, the man had a dream, the B*tch couldn't care less, that is why he broke up, its the priciple of the whole thing. She should know how much he cared for that special car, she should have known how much he wanted her to drive a nice car so that they could talk about it, drumhawk working on it durring the weekens, and just all the dreams the man had to enlighten her how good life is in the fast lane. Talos is just furious because he sees someone taking the whole car enthusiasm so deeply and he doesn't have a car to be enthusiastic about. So he's just talking stupid saying Ford Taurus is great LOL. I can go on about this but I won't, don't worry hawk, you'll find someone who'll care about making team descisions in a relation because thats what relationships are all about.

 

I agree with this statement. I don't know how serious this relationship was, but my wife and I make all major decisions (such as a car purchase) together. If they were to be together for a long time and she goes off making dicisions with out consulting would lead to dissaster later on in the relationship. JMHO

 

Punch her in the face
























JK

 

I only have one word for you.. "women".

Having just gotten out of a long long long (much too long) bad relationship I think you made the right decision. If she's this hasty with this decision, she'll probably be the same with other important decisions.

Better to find out now.

hahaha mint,... donkey punch

 

It ain't a matter of car enthusiasm IMHO. I think the relationship was strained from the begiining. She was IMO trying to make an effort to go along with Drum by looking at the cars that HE wanted. Finally when Drum couldn't make up his mind she made it for herself. I do agree with the team mentality, and I would be choked as well if after all that time and effort my wife did the complete opposite. However, I think the real issue was that even though she said she wanted a car that Drum liked, she really didn't, and she probably hinted at it but it was ignored.

 

I would have to say that it doesn't really matter what she bought, but if she wasn't willing to wait after you talked to her on the phone about it and she just moved forward and spent 30g's then well send her packing, because that can be a very big problem down the road for much more important decisions.

 

i think part that made him angry wasnt the fact of what she picked, but the fact that she went and impulse bought a car, and got hosed on it by a dealer. i have a couple friends like that, they see a new car and a hole develops in their head and their brain leaks out, they ooogle and impulse buy, now they all got hosed with retail prices, leases and payouts that would make baby jesus cry
