So I've been looking into getting a CR-Z since they launched, I've been saving up my spare cash so I can just go down to the Honda dealer and slap down my cash and drive away. I got the whole thing planned out, Pearl White CVT with a spoiler, diffuser, armrest and illuminated door sills... but then in comes my fiancée and says I don't need a new car. She says we should save the money for our wedding, which is at least 2 years away at this point because she's currently living out of the country for vet school. So anyway, I'm looking for some honest opinions from CRZ drivers on what to do.
The arguments:
Hers:
My car is still fine, it's not that old and still runs perfectly.
Saving money for wedding is awesome.
Mine:
It's my money, any money I spend on the car will be replaced within the next year as it only took me that long to save up enough cash to afford the car.
She is going to need a car in a few months when she moves back to America, so she can have my current car.
The wedding is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to saving, after the wedding she's going to want a house, and then babies and then I'm 50 and still driving my lousy chevy... or worse an SUV *shudder*
Anyway, I guess I'm just a little frustrated because I really want an CRZ but she's telling me no.
