The Missus' Car

[zetec]

I've noticed a lot lately that most enthusiasts on here refer to small cars as "I'll get one for the missus" or "the missus wants one" in a proud, macho style. Naturally, the people that say this drive larger cars themselves.

I just wanted to say that I'm going to stir the pot a little and instead of putting my missus in a smaller car, I'm going to order a large car for my missus when we're finally married - a good old Aussie large car, be it a Falcon or a Territory perhaps. Not only to do my bit for the country and support the local economy, but because they're 5-Star cars, with excellent economy for a family car, plenty of boot and interior space, room for shopping and great for weekend trips away.


There's one other reason too. I've just ordered one of these as my daily driver...







I'll do 10 times more kilometres in peak hour while using far less fuel, drive inner city streets, find parking easier and have things like standard bluetooth and voice control for the business calls, room to cart the bike around after work more easily than in the back of a Falcon (for bike rides with friends on the other side of the city) and have more fun in the process. Then I can still enjoy the twisty roads on weekends in a real driver's car and lift up a cheeky inside rear tyre at the 4wd's and barges taking up the road as I outcorner them.

So it's big Aussie RWD safe and dependable for my wife, and a little, stylish and economical ripsnorter with a brilliant chassis for myself.

If only more Australians thought the way I did and bought large cars as a second car, it would surely keep pur families and kids safe more often while still keeping the best cars large in the world supported.


Somehow I think you're all missing out giving these things to your wives! :
