My Wife Stole My Car

[blue_reality]

Well it's official - after a heated discussion on monday night my wife has taken my Golf. Oh yes, this is not a joke. She has taken the key and put it on her keyring with a piece of pink ribbon so there is no confusion.

I used to own a MK4 GTI and my wife had a BMW 3 series, but she really liked the Golf so we sold the BMW, I gave her my MK4 GTI and I went and bought a white 5 door MKV GTI.

We noticed on monday that the MK4 had a small oil leak from a tiny crack in the sump. NRMA said that she must have just grazed something and it's only about $250 to fix. They also said she would have heard it but she has no recollection of running over a scooter rider...

But no that was it. "Im sick of old cars" she says "Im taking your car from now on. You can fix the old one and have it back. Plus the wheel is broken because it keeps going flat"

The 'old one' is a Black 2000 model with the Recaro interior, full ipod connection, full 2.5 exhaust, cobalt boost gauge, air intake, BOV etc

Anyway it's 7am and I just heard her leave in my, ah... her new GTI, and punch it up the street. I'm now thinking that she probably tried to hit something in the MK4 for an instant upgrade

Well at least I can get modding again. I decided no mods on the MK5 till warranty was up (2 more years) but I can get stuck back into it for the MK4.

So if you see a young blonde girl with the 'new car grin' in a white 07 GTI, make sure you tell her to give my car back!!

So now it's onto the bus to work, or the Super Motard I picked up on Saturday. Hmm, decisions.....

Maybe she grew up in a big family and was sick of always getting hand-me-downs ? Anyway, you have to admire her taste And now it will be up to her to decide about Mk V mods (decisions by previous custodians no longer apply) !

HaHa, you arent on your own there mate,
at least 2 of my customers made the mistake of letting their wives drive their Mk5s to the shops and ended up having to buy them their own!!!
One had a 6 month old Imprezza and the other had a 3 month old Commodore.

when I decided to get the Blue Blurr (R32), missus was not keen.

Now ...15000kms later....she claims "It's MY car".

Oh well...back on the Yamaha

[dubbed]

Haha my girlfriend wants to pinch my car sometimes and was telling me last night how she "revved it to 5,500 rpm" when she's had it.

The MKIV is a better looking bit of gear anyway It'd be nice if it had the new 2l though.

Have you got pics of your Golfs to show us?

My wife hasn't driven the GTI yet (picked it up in May) and judging by this thread I will have to do everything I can to avoid it.

No way I'm driving a 1.6litre auto Corolla around!

Havn't filmed much of the MK4. We'll all be seeing more of it on mightycarmods.com from now on though...

well the GTI has never been "mine" since day 1. missus wanted a B Class but i insisted on the GTI. after 2 months she is not complaining anymore.......

[JustCruisn]

Apparently my Mrs is taking the GTI early next year. Because I drive too far each week and it would be cheaper for me to drive the Mazda 121.
And although she wont admit it, she always has a cheeky grin when behind the wheel of Gunter.

Put me in that basket, she ended up getting a Skoda Octavia RS, but it's close enough. No fights any more - no one gets a dud.

[VW Convert]

The Jetta is now 2 yrs and 2 months old with 50,000KM on the clock, SWMBO has never been behind the wheel! Downside is I have to drive her everywhere she goes.......oh did I say downside? That's a bonus! LOL

So this is why the manuals get purchased over the DSG, it all makes sense now

Car control my what they really mean is control over the car keys
