Default So today Mrs. Driver and I swapped cars...

...for the day, since her Honda Pilot needs some scheduled maintenance and there is a pretty good Honda dealer is near my office. I just hope the potholes on Comm Ave. in Boston do not result in a bent rim ((

But...she gave it a new name today..."The Growler"!!! I like it ))

Default Around Backbay where I work, I saw a silver A6 being towed away dragging on 2 rear wheels.

Looks like someone forgot to feed the meter :P

Default You are so on your way to loosing your car!!!

That's where it starts, you being nice and letting her drive your car. Then she gives it a new name. Next you'll find all sorts of female products in all the storage compartments. Then, before you know it, you're behind the wheel of a Honda on a permanent basis.

It's only a matter of time now... Good luck with that.

For me, I did it the opposite way around. I originally got the A6 for my wife, knowing that it was what I really wanted to get to replace my aging VW Passat. And knowing that she really wanted another SUV like vehicle. So we got her the a nice 2.7T A6 with a bunch of cool features and low miles for her to drive untill it was my turn to assume the mantle. Now she drives a lovely 2007 Mitsu. Outlander.

Everyone is happy!

Default Happened before with my OEM 18" S-line wheels on the 2.7T...

...which is why she has always said since then that she HATES driving my car!

No worries...winter rims are still on the car. One is already curbed (previous owner). That is why they are winter rims!!!
