After having wrecked my daily driver a day after my birthday, I just got a 2008 Toyota Camry SE. We also own a 2005 Nissan Murano. The issue now is who's gonna drive the new car. I say I do since I lost mine and I drive the longest distance to work (31 miles one way as opposed to 16 to hers) The Camry is a 4 cylinder and the Nissan is a V6. She says she has never driven a new car before.
Should I let her drive it for just one week or avoid further issues and just drive the Nissan?

LOL, your subconscience must've taken over. It's probably true, isn't it?!

Ha! Don't you know the cardinal vehicle rule in a marriage?! The lady ALWAYS drives the newer and the nicer car!

Even if it means consuming more gas she gets to drive the new car?

They're both new, the Nissan's got 21,000 miles, brand spanking new and when we got it she didn't let me drive it. Talk about been greedy eh?

What about YOU drive the new car on days that you work, then let her drive it all the other times. I agree that you should get the more fuel efficient car to drive to work. A 2005 car is not that old, and if neither of you like driving it, sell it and get a more fuel efficient vehicle.

Heck, you mentioned just one week! If that's all the lady asks for consider yourself lucky and shut up!

Yep, the girl always gets the new car. We're special like that. But the truth of the matter in my case is - I get the new car, he gets the new truck. His truck is newer, but mine is more comfortable for me to drive.
