90% of the time she drives the ram.

the excuse is because she gets off work at 2am and she likes the remote start.

normally i wouldnt care but she is destroying the truck. there is make up caked on the seat, steering wheel and shifter. ive tried cleaning it but its like ******* cement.

once a week i find a new dent or scrape but there is always a good reason or story how its not her fault. like the 3 foot scrape from a wooden post that supports the parking covers she got from visiting a friend in an apartment complex. that is just 1 of many

my question is do i wait and get HER a new car and fix the damage or make her keep the truck and get ME a new truck.

she argues against having 2 trucks but im so tired of telling her to stop doing her make-up and cell phone while driving. i feel the damage she has done is her problem not mine

When we got our first Greyhound, we were told "the only thing better than one Greyhound is two Greyhounds!" This applies to Ram trucks too. Let her keep the 2012 and get yourself exactly what you want. Perhaps, when she "takes ownership," she'll begin taking better care! Or not, but NYP.

Yeah if she has jacked it all up then thats her truck. !

Go buy yourself a new truck without remote start so she wont drive it.

My wife does not drive my truck because she knows I would trip if she tore it up like that.. lol

Go buy yourself a new wife.

i wish




if i can convince her, ive been eyeing a cummins 2500. more then likely though she will get her way and ill be left with the after math.

i should just install a fuel pump kill switch and act like i dont know wtf is happening so she stops driving it

Throw a remote starter in her car, fix the truck. Make a deal that first person to scratch their vehicle loses. Winner gets a new ride.

I think you either need to buy her something from the 60's or 70's, that is still made out of metal so she doesn't hurt it to bad, or, maybe you need to start going to a trade school to become a bodyman and painter. Either way, I'd make sure that I got a new vehicle for myself.

Yep get something for yourself if she can’t take care of your current truck she has no need for a new vehicle.

We traded our 14 mega cab in for a 18 1500 crew.. mainly due to the equity I had in the mega cab “ dropped out payments by $200 a month so we could pick up a second vehicle with ease.. makes it nice having two vehicles. My wife takes more care of the truck than I ever could lol... she has informed me that she loves the new truck, she no longer wants a grand Cherokee ... once it is paid off I can get what ever I want... I will be doubling down on those Payments... Trx rebel better be released by then lol... then again I am a fan of the hellcat chargers.
