RE: A guys car
To answer your question, I think a lot of businesses tend to feel that their "Husband" sends their wife in to try and smooth over the sales person. I work in a custom woodworking mill and it happens all the time! I know it is not right to think out of the box like that but it happens. The guy will send in his better half, get a quote, then he will come in and ask the same question looking for the better price. Good thing i work for a family owned business that sticks to their guns and charges everyone the same amount, no discounts, no cash options, just a honest to goodness business! Also, like a previous post, I have only seen 3 male drivers in stangs inthis area, the rest are all women!

ORIGINAL: 82wife
So i dented the door of my car the other day[:@]tiny little dent... you could barely see it, i took it into a bodyshop and the guy told me it was going to be 487 bucks to fix that thing! because "we have to remove the door and repaint it, do you want to ask your husband if thats okay" i said. its my car and thats bull**** so i took it to a differentbodyshop and they popped it out for 45 dollars.
Sigh why don't people ever think that my car is my own

I get it all the time..... no one believes that the car is mine. The only thing I let the husband help pick out was the color.
One day a gas station , the guy there asked me if it was my son's car and I was just filling it up for him!
Told him, I have no kids, this car is my baby.....................

RE: A guys car
My Mother is 75 yrs old, with a very modified 1990 5.0 LX. People always think it's her grandsons car or something. She grew up in Germany, and went through WWII. People always try to take advantage of her because she's a woman, and old. That's when she goes BLITZKRIEG on them. It's alwayshilarious to see their reactions, as she bitches at them with her German accent.
