[QUOTE=actwithclarity;244469]We all make decisions based on emotion. She cares more about how she will look in the street to random strangers passing by, than you and all the slave labor you will have to perform to provide her with the vehicle. Therefore the logical choice for her is the hot SUV. The logical choice for you is the cost-effective little car. But she's a woman so there's probably no way to change her mind or argue with her, and even if you reach a compromise on this issue, the basic conflict will continue to reappear in the future unless you can find some way to advance her psychology on a basic level which is not very likely! I think your options are basically to find a new girl who wasn't spoiled as a kid (and doesn't expect to be spoiled now), or to be like her slave and give her whatever her little heart desires and demands.[/QUOT
