What has made you Angry Today???????

Wive's car is on it's last legs. So we've been talking about / looking at cars she may like. So far, smaller SUVs, like Xtrail, Forester, Outback, Outlander etc... Are on her taste list.
Opportunity has come up, to grab a family friends Patrol. 2013, low K's, automatic. Only mod it has is tinted windows. Would be absolutely perfect for her. Pretty sure we'd get a great price from them too.
But the stubborn as a cold stone, female mentality just won't comprehend one bit... So many irrelevant excuses like, Oh but we already have a Patrol, car is too big for me, bla bla bla... Very frustrating.

Irrelevant for you maybe but you have to admit, they are a harder vehicle to drive around town than a smaller Xtrail for example..... harder to manoeuvre in tight spaces, harder to park..... some women including my missus just done like driving them, although my missus is quite content driving Pajero, same approx dimensions but more manoeuvrability due to titgher turning circle and drives more like a car than a truck......... as frustrating as it maybe, she'll be the one that has to drive it and if she feels unfortable doing so, then she's going to hate it. Does she drive yours much?

Bali belly has made me miserable, no medication has worked so far and I feel like I am going to die. I have been really careful not to eat or drink the wrong thing. We are moving to a villa in Ubud today so I have a 2.5 hr car ride, hope I can hold out.

No good Tony, sorry to hear mate. Get plenty of boiled white rice into you and don't trust ice in your drinks mate, take care, hope it clears up soon for you!

Charcoal, mate.

@Hodge women just dont like driving Patrols they are just too big

Shes never driven any of my Patrols, due to both of them being manual. She absolutely doesn't want to know about manual. Full stop.
But she HAS driven A automatic one and didn't mind it at all. In fact a Patrol was one of the front runners when she was getting a new car last year, and when i nearly sold my 4.2 due to me getting a work ute. So a Patrol was always in the running. She actually likes them and has no trouble driving them.
The problem now is, she is too stuck in the "Lets get a small SUV rut". For less than the price of a new xtrail etc... She could have a full sized 4x4 automatic with ridiculously low K's and ample room for whatever she/we need.
Mind you there is a little bit of me, not minding two Patrols in the driveway too. lol
