That's simple...just sell the SUV (expedition?) and you'll have the $.

I drive a 1986.  Wife drives a leased 2018.  We would not be able to live together in a camper very long if it were the other way around. 

Happy wife, happy life.

My wife will alway drive the best we have too.

I know I been wanting a skidder put down payment to hold one and the guy sold it before I got home and gave me my money back. I spent it on a truck and the only tj 225 around here comes up for sale.

I always did that for my wife. In 2001 surprised her with a $34,000 vehicle. Diamonds she wanted. Paid for it all. Then along came a smooth talking man. She and him now enjoy the fruits of my labor and he buys her nothing. He also was married but bought all the toys for himself. Be good to her but keep it fair for you.  :-[

The deals are always out there but I know what you mean when you get searching for something specific and it's no where to be had. 🤣
 My father always said the cheapest piece was the one you paid for, they know when to leave. I lost it all the first time at 27, the house, both vehicle's, all the toys, like a fool I recently came close again, the next one better bring alot to the table.

The same for me!  
As i was a foreigner in this country and my ex is a lawyer and works in the courthouse where divorces get resolved i couldn't even open up my mouth. She said how much and i signed the stupid paper. But actually it could a have been a lot worse.
I won't make the same mistake again, definitively no second marriage for this hard working man.:D

It would be easier to find a strange woman, buy her a house and car, bid farewell and live happily ever after.
Bourbon and/or beer fixes most of it.

Concerning Coxy's original question, I suspect Murphy has something to do with it. He has a law named after him!
