bawanajim, I think we would both agree that the key is
communication -- and more is needed here before everyone jumps on the bandwagon, though like I said I hope most of it is in jest. Maybe his wife had somewhere to go real early in the morning; in that case, I'd rather my wife have the 4x4 than me -- we don't have enough information to know, and I don't think Greg was trying to pour his heart out and look for marital counseling

. I'd be willing to bet he was just making a quick off-the-cuff observation about getting older. Obviously, if it's just going to sit there unused... well, that's different.
And for what it's worth... time served is not indicative of a good marriage -- and I'min no way intimating that yours is NOT.
