My wife actually told me I could go to Europe and bring a vehicle home as long as she got a vacation out of it....
"I want a woody whacker (wood grained station wagon) with a diesel and that thing that makes this noise (a jake brake)"
I immediately start the gears turning in my head of a Vista Cruiser body on a mid 90's or newer full size Dodge diesel.
My response was "Do you want four wheel drive?"

"There's no way I'm letting you buy a project car for our son now, he's only a year old. You'll have bought and sold 15 project cars for him by the time he's old enough to get his license."

When I announced my essential need for a new Mustang in 2005-- "You're not muscle car material, honey."
About my '65 F100--"Don't restore it. The scratches and stuff give it character."
My Spec E30 race car--"Can you make my Forester sound like that?"
Almost daily on her commute--"Aauugh!!! Stupid cell phone women and their SUVs. Get the berkeley out of my way!!"
The wife: "I dont know what happened - you have such good taste elsewhere...women, music etc...but when we get to cars you like 80s crapboxes? WTF!?! Why cant you just like muscle cars like every other guy out there"
...if only she knew 
"You have to make a choice, me or the race car!"
Sometimes I still miss that woman.

"That's the ermmm... 'exhaust.'"
"I want a creepy van." (We ended up with a deal we couldn't pass up on a Suburban, but with its badly peeling paint, it's still a bit creepy.)

Before leaving town in my car" Don't forget your tools"
when I bought the 944 Turbo, my previous gf said "can you find me a really small ruler, we need to do some measuring"
of course after she drove it she talked about it for weeks, and kept mumbling something about how she needed one too!
My wife's friend, commenting on my wife's car: "Oh, it's supposed to sound like that? I thought it was broken . . ."
My wife said my step-side pickup had hips.
