If you were to put SWMBO up for sale what would the add look like?

Mine

69 SWMBO Power Wagon
Clean, white exterior, runs good, only driven two or three times a week, mostly for Sunday morning drives. Sometimes hard to operate, and a little hard to start in the evening but I use alcohol for a starter and she cranks right up. Although hard to operate you can operate her intoxicated without worry of DWI. Economy is poor. She can drain a bank account in one month. Able to go from zero to screaming in two seconds flat. Brakes don’t work but I have installed an ejection seat. When she’s screaming out of control just pull ejection lever and leave kids strapped in till she hits a wall. Headlights are very shiny but has some junk in the trunk. I was thinking of getting a detail and overhaul next year. Good on the open road but has a constant rattle which gets worse with starting fluid. Interior is relatively clean from trips to church on Sunday. Seats have a couple of stains but I think that’s from the Sunday morning drives. Not too many electronics on this model. I retrofitted her with a cell phone but it seemed to increase the rattle. Comes with two kids, two dogs, and four cats as a bonus.

Asking for a brew sculpture or best offer.
 
I'd have paid someone to get rid of my first one (and in the end I did end up paying via divorce and child support), but swmbo 2.0 is absolutely priceless and not for sale under any circumstancecs.
 
She's a keeper but this is just a hypothetical ad.
What woud your ad look like. Get SWMBO involved in this. It might be fun.
I might be dreaming too.

Great idea! I know my SWMBO would LOVE to help me type out a list of all her flaws for my brewing buddies to peruse. Nothing could possibly go wrong!

Have you considered letting people just taking over payments? Do you have full coverage or just liability?

Pictures?

I'm thinking of down sizing mine for something smaller and a little more sporty. :D

LMAO... Ya, I can't think of any better marriage-strengthening exercise to participate in with my wife than this. :drunk:
 
Ya know, I don't thing it would be wise for me to put up a mock SWMBO ad here, but I will say that she is wearing a t-shirt today that reads "Will Sell Husband for Wine".

Hmmmmm, good for the goose, maybe?

Haha, that's a good shirt.

You married guys are way too smart to do that. See, women can make jokes about your flaws (even to your face) and that's funny and accepted. If you dare make a joke (even not a mean one) about our hair, face, body, or personality, you will pay for it for the rest of your lives. Oh, sure, we might ACT like we forgive or forget, but we don't. Seven years from now when you want a special sex act, we'll remember that time you commented on our "headlamps" and hold it against you all over again.

RDWJ and Bernie are smart.

Thankfully my wife is better than most in this regard. I can joke around with her *almost* as much as I joke around with my buddies, but there certainly are things that are off limits and result in 'the look' or 'the treatment', but overall I seem to be able to get away with more than most guys.
 
clean one owner bright red minivan. High mileage, but not used roughly. Headlights slightly out of alignment, does not impede visibility. Runs smooth most of the time but will seize up and backfire when trying to load the rear end. Asking KBB or trade in for newer model.

blah, this is crap. if you hold onto something this silly then its time to file, be done with it and find someone that is a better match for you. mine has taken quite a bit of **** from me and in return i take quite a bit from her, no hard feelings either way. its actually all good fun!

oh and if i were to offer her up, which i shall never, her ad would be as follows.

exotic convertible, sometimes the top just comes off w/o warning. headlights are oem HID. runs quiet until you fill her up on 100 octane. fully adaptive to your driving style. sometimes she likes to hang in the garage with other convertibles and will even let you test their fluids. exterior is in perfect condition, has the shine of a clay bar treatment weekly, but none has ever been applied. lowest costing model for maintenance ever! asking more $ than you got.

And I thought my sedan was the best vehicle around. Where'd ya find that hot rod?

originally i was going to refer to her as a hot rod, but that just seemed a lil too gay to me.

Hot Rod = Gay?
Not likely...

My first love is cars followed by beer... too bad the two hobbies don't mix.

if you refer to your swmbo as a hot rod some may get the idea that your swmbo indeed has a "rod".

Sorry, i'm a 'Car Girl' and the term "Hot Rod" in my world can only mean one thing.
