We (I) have decided it might be time to update the people mover so the wife myself and tribe went looking today. Found a Toyota Will, Mazda MPV and a Nissan which we kinda liked but the back seat arangement wasn't what we wanted. Anyway test drove the MPV which she liked but it has a bigger motor and larger overall and not a great deal quicker (not overly important) than what we have.We would have test drove others but in the 4 yards we looked at not a salesmen to be seen! Now heres the kicker. We decided that after driving the MPV and getting back into ours there really wasn't $8k difference in them.BUT, we still came home with a new washing machine.was I suckered here lol.

"the wife" , "the mrs" - haven't we got better ways to refer to our spouses than that! It makes them sound like the home appliance.

Umm,yea a few others, but most will get you slapped, and no sex for at least a month. Some less offensive could be. Better half (debatable) old woman (not yet) her (not the best) Bitch (female dog and dosn't go down well) significant other (to lengthy)She who must be obeyed ( yea but again lengthy) love (we are men). So wife dosn't sound to bad I thought lol.

BTW, coming home with a Washing Machine is what happens when you don't test drive a Touran or a Multipla.
Mind you a Multipla in Gore. the locals might form a posse and run you out of town with flaming torches and pitch forks.

More likely it would result in divorce or committal to the local psychiatric unit.

Can not say Ive seen any local Multiplas. But there are a few Wills turning up and there a bit odd(I meant Wish in first post to) looking, oh and a couple of those god awfull honda SUV things. And we havent lynched anyone here for well over a week.

But then again, in Gore a Multipla might be considered space age.
