Need help talking to the wife...

5BrothersFabrication · May 29, 2012

I'm having a hard time talking the wife into letting me trade this:

549188_325286384211461_100001903051846_774461_390955672_n.jpg

for this:

Wifey thinks the truck is newer, so it'd be more reliable. I disagree, I could build a 2.3 in my sleep and have a few friends that race these things, so high speed parts will be had. The Pinno is cherry and rust free. Plus, the truck has 106k on the odo. It does good as my little yard/tubing tow pig, but the Pinno is my little dream car.

Help me talk her into it! Any arguments in the "for" column will be paid in Dos Equis! :drinkers:

Um, it's a NISSAN.

Working on Nissans SUCKS!

Put a trailer hitch on the Bean, it'll probably tow just as good as the HB.

That's what it boils down to. The Nismo is a family heirloom, I guess. We still owe $1800 on it to her aunt, but I figure we could owe $1800 on the Pinno to her just the same. Pinnos are getting rare, and I'm afraid that one day I'll end up paying 5k for a Pinno in the same condition.

It is a good looking Pinto that's for sure.
I'm sure ya have already told her it's an investment and just a 'want' right?

Didn't those cars explode all the time or am I thinking of something else?

Not all the time, just some of the time upon impact.
