ME: I need to bleed the brakes, so I can either buy a power bleeder or rely upon the wife/girlfriend method.

HER: What, your girlfriend is busy?

And the most foolish words Mrs. BDT has ever spoken:

"Get whatever car you want."

"You can't have a Miata; you'll look like a shriner in a clown car."

About my 1986 911 - "Are you sure this is an '86? This interior looks like it is from the '60s, a crappy car in the '60s. And it smells bad, like it is about to catch fire or something."

My friend's wife gets dishonorable mention for claiming that "wheels are not part of the car" when asked why she doesn't seem to care that she curbs her wheels on a regular basis.

Yup, I've heard this one a few times. It explains the Plymouth Duster in the driveway.

In regard to the truck:
- Hey! Its nice inside for a change.

In regard to the 911:
- um... its uh... um... seriously? How old are you?

In regard to the E30 of doom:
- Why can't you ever just get a normal car?

"You stay AWAY from the MINI. I bought the car with a warranty for a REASON" - This was as I was eyeballing supercharger pullies and suspension upgrades for it. Oh, and Dinan.

"You cannot have another DSM"- that goes without saying.

"Just buy the turbo one already. You know you're not going to be happy until you have it"- Right before I turned in my loaded 05 mazda3 hatch for a Mazdaspeed3.

Wife: What do you want to get done on the house this weekend? Me: I'd really like to finish spreading the pile of loam in the driveway. Wife: Why? Me: So I can get another car in there. Wife: HA! Wrong answer.

Soon after I got a '98 M3,my first car with heated seats, I took her out for dinner. It was cold. I turned on her seat heater. After a few minutes she told me her seat was warm. I told her that since I new she was cold natured,the heated seats were one of the reasons I got the M3. She commented that she was glad I told her that because she thought shed'd had some kind of spectacular bladder failure.

Sometimes they just don't understand..

"why do you like that car? It looks like a box with wheels"

"you can't have 2 Camaro's, no one needs 2 of the same cars at the same time"

"just get an automatic then if one with a 5 speed is so hard to find"

I could go on.. and on
