    Yesterday I was running around with my wife and we were by the Toyota dealership I told her pull in so I could get the nut that holds on the kick panel a $1.79 part. I came out and she was talking to a sales person about a FJ. Long story story we left her jeep at the dealership and came home in a new FJ.

    True, but I know personally this is why I'll never combine my accounts with a woman. She makes her own money to go shopping with, wont be using mine.

    Props to her for a good choice, I like the look of the FJ's but i still love the Taco's more.

    Oh for sure. Thats a given to me. Me and my broad have separate everything. We split everything down to the penny too. Keeps fighting to a minimum. Also if something happens, then sharing it would be easy and fair

    LMAO...Awesome. I wish I could get my wife to make a decision like that. She likes our scion-but has mentioned wanting a 4R or something bigger.
    I'd love for her to make the call and get whatever she likes.

    Yea, we still split all the rent/food/bills. But I pay my truck payments and insurance and like 70% of gas, she pitches for it here and there.

    She's rarely in the vehicle, so pitching here and there instead of all the time is a pretty fair deal :D

    She's lucky she can just walk a block to where she works :(
