the mama ain't happy bit is so old. I believe a man should pick his own ride, if you can't afford to do that without the wife's permission that's your bad. if your woman is not happy after you bought a ZL1 she wasn't happy before. If a man is taking care of his woman she has a bad boy car of her own and could care less what toy he buys.also its been my experience by watching people that the women that hate theses sports cars with cramped back seats is because they can no longer get there fat a** in the back like they did before the kids and do not want a reminder of that fact. As far as the relationship advice goes , if a dude comes to ZL1 forums and posts my wife wouldn't let me, that's a cry for help ! Thank you , good luck Last edited by RealG; 03-13-2014 at 03:21 AM. |

Case in point. I was parking at the airport recently when I noticed a guy across from me getting his luggage out of the trunk of his Lexus LS460. I nodded good morning. He looks over at me as I'm walking away from my car and says "Cadillac huh?" I said "yep". He says "we looked at those but really wanted the V8 in the Lexus". I said "you didn't like the V8 in the Cadillac?". He looked puzzled. He replied "the Escalade?" I said "no, the CTS". Again he looked puzzled. In our five minute walk to the terminal in the early hours of the morning, he kept asking if I was serious they made a V8 Cadillac sedan. Like I was pulling his leg or something. I still laugh about it. Granted it was a Lexus owner... On the street when passing, accelerating briskly through a turn, getting on a highway on-ramp etc. you'll see a lot of wide-eyed looks from other drivers. No one expects a Cadillac to quietly pull as hard as it does. And that's without exceeding 3,000 RPM. These cars are just silly. I still can't believe GM made them.

Congrats on the V... Awesome car!
Does the wagon have an option for a third row of seating? |

My rant to the OP and other men here!
Quote:
I also went down the ex wife road as have many others on here. We as men are going to pay no matter what. Either up front with compromising as the OP has to do, or in the end getting divorced. I chose divorce. When I was married I had dreamed of having a man cave with a room we never used formally. My ex even told me the day she was moving out, "now you can fix your home theater room up they way you want to"! I also purchased my ZL1 when my youngest moved out and now is in University the same scenario as yours! Years later, now with a good woman that doesn't play mind games and a new ZL1, life is good. The truth is this and some of you will be hurt by this but. If a woman is saying no to what makes YOU happy then she is a dream killer. Some women are that exactly. Look back at your lives together and see if this is you? Do they become unhappy and their moods change when you are really happy? Do they share in your joy either it being cars, or golfing, or whatever activity you do by yourself? Just think of all the ideas that some of you want to do but it gets vetoed. Think back to the last disagreement/argument you had with your wife, who started it? No more mama not happy. She's not my mom to begin with. OP you will love the CTS-V wagon. I owned the sedan when my kids were not driving yet. |

ZL1-V, you make some really valid points. The kicker is I could have had a ZL1 and a C7, mods, etc. with what I've paid out to get away from that miserable woman. But hey, life goes on and as you said I've got a 2nd who is a dream of a woman and supports all I want to do. But, there is a time for everything and when the kids were young and family was 1st it wasn't the time for a ZL. I could have, but it would be selfish and not really practice. JMHO...
