I understand your frustration about the matter, what with not having consulted you about a purchase like this and agree that she shouldn't have been so hastey but, there was obviously some underlying problems in the relationship if you were willing to break it off because of a car.:blah:

Sounds like you are looking for a very specific girl - and she doesn't appear to be it.

 

If it has **** or wheels, it will give you problems.

Lighten up, at least she has a car, and your not having to drive her around everywhere.

 

hahahaa, and this coming from someone that if it were legal would rather be marryed to there car then some sweet women

 

Some great responses guys and most ring true. Yes, the relationship was strained to begin with, she's having trouble with her roommate and wants to move in with me to be together and save money. I told her before she could move in anytime but she wont start saving money for 5 years cause she'll pay $450.00 a month thru 09. When we met it started by her wanting a ride in my bird. Everytime a C5 goes by she says, "there's another nice vet. But her first choice was a truck for camping and the utility. She bought the Taurus right on the spot and paid way too much. I went into the Ford dealership for damage control and to see if she could trade it for the 04 F-150, the truck stickers for 37 grand and I talk him down to 32 before but today of course without mentioning her dilemma we are down to $30,500.00. She has a Taurus SEL for almost the same price as the 4x2 F-150 crew-cab. Can't return the Taurus cause once a car is registered to a owner it is used. Talked to her on the phone and she would return it but too late now. What you guys said about making important decisions together is what she (we) should have done since we were talking about shacking up. If she took her time buying the Taurus and got a great deal I could have lived with that. Now she has a car that looks exactly like her last, (a 98 Mystique) but now she has big payments for 5 years. Thanks for your input guys, I needed to vent this one out.

 

you still might be able to recoup your losses by selling it to another distressed girlfriend of someone you don't know

 

you wouldnt understand

 

I can just see that car salesmen laughing inside when you were talking (or yelling) to her on the phone. I would have been more than upset too if someone I cared about pulled a stunt like that. Better luck with the next one Drum.

 

Venting is a good thing. Nothing wrong with sticking by your principles too. But if you stay too straight by your guns, you may find that no one will ever conform to your principles, or meet your expectations.

Good luck man.

 

A wise man (my uncle) once said to me: "If it flys, floats or f%^ks...RENT IT!!!"

Honestly, I would never break-up with a girl because of the car they bought. But I would look at how and why they came to their conclusions. In this case, your old lady was impulsive with $30000+. How will she make other important choices?

Heh, woman... It's funny how after age 15 a womans brain is the only thing that stops growing. Oooppps....

 

buhahahaha

 

haha that's completly ridiculous.
My wife would never do something like this, and if she did, there would be some big consequences.

I can definitly see where drum is coming from

I KNOW, buncha ***** lol
