Consider yourself lucky…… could have been a pair of shoes and a dress to go along with the purse…….

Now I know why mine doesn't drive the XK, she loves Costco. I don't think there's anything that Costco sells that will fit in the XK.

What? I use to drive my XK to Costco all the time. Never an issue. Plenty of fancy cars at our Costco. Seen Ferrari's, Rolls, and the like. The parking lots are quite big and there's plenty of safe spots if so concerned. I stopped going crazy over parking spots a long time ago. The more I tried to find that perfect spot, the more I set myself up for heartbreak.

Never has my wife driven my XKR. It'd scare me, and she can NOT back up to save her life.

Your wife did WHAT????
I love my wife, but I love a nice clean tidy, dent ding free car with alloys in as new condition, no kerb marks, scratches or scrapes
You clearly are either very foolish or very brave, I'm undecided lol


Either way, you obviously love your wife more than I love mine as she'd be either taking a taxi or walking if she didn't have my Audi A6.
The Audi by the way as "as new" as a 7 year old car can be and is now as per the initial description at the beginning of this post

My better half was in near tears (well not really...) when we traded in the XK. She liked that car a lot.

Ha, that is funny.

Our XK is my Wife's daily driver. It is just a car and a pretty inexpensive one to boot. If stuff happens because of use then I get it fixed.

My bride loves to drive it but only on major highways so she can open it up. Not a problem riding with her and after all it's our car.
