Boy isnt that true!

My wife would probably let it go (if I book it without telling her first), not say anything - then she'll choke me with her bare hands once we get home : )

As Mark said, "...which is money better spent?"

That's exactly the same chain of events that would take place with my wife.

My brother and a friend of his invited me to an afternoon cruise on his 35ft cruiser a few years ago. When I arrived at the slip, the entire Hooter's staff (seriously) had already arrived and were hooping it up! Wisely, I declined to board and went home.

I love how this thread has de-evolved into "ways to get my wife to choke me to de@th"

I find it funny when a conversation (about something stupid I want to do) ends with her saying "if you do that then I'll divorce you". And I reply, "Double bonus, it just keeps getting better" - but of course it does NOT get better. Ha ha ha

lol you guys noticed the prices huh hahaha.

That is pretty ridiculous though on those rentals. Before I got our M6 I "test drove" one for a day from a rental company so I could do what I wanted with it and it was only $500. Also, there were no dealers who would let me have one overnight

I'm a very sharing kind of guy. And I want people to experience the thrill of driving an M6.

FYI, I always offer to my friends and colleagues an opportunity to drive my beast whenever we go out to lunch.

They are welcome to drive it spiritedly. Just a simple gentleman's agreement that they damage it they pay for it.

100% / all of them came back fully satisfied with a big smile on their face and the biggest thank you I ever got on my entire life.

Dan,

I suspect we all know the drill here!! I wish my wife could come and meet everyone on the trip but, like Mark said, someone has to stay home and handle everything. Otherwise, it would have been great to have them spend time together while we indulged our horsepower afflictions!

Kindest Regards,
Milton

But "being stupid" is in my mission statement as a husband. Just ask my wife. Ii might have even been in our wedding vows: "I promise to be stupid as little as possible but will catch hell for it when I do". And she replies, "You will".
