Default Hulk Friday: enthusiasts that buy lesser cars for their wives/family to commute...?

Ive had a hard week being sick and also at work.. great to see the weekend, time to shift into car mode from work mode, take the edge off the work week and resolve world problems in a friday hulk thread..

ive noticed something of late that really boils my blood.. its car enthusiasts that buy/own a second car for their wife/partner/family that is far inferior to their own. Either on price/quality/safety/reliability. For example if you went out and bought yourself a new fpv GT/f6 and the wife/family a hyundai getz/ smartcar or old 2nd hand falcon etc etc. Its Like eating in a fancy restaurant whilst the family is next door at McDonalds...dont feel right does it?

Some car enthusiasts park up their pride and joy in the garage or drive it off to work of a morning and leave their family to roll around in a bomb (Comparatively speaking)... isnt this a disgraceful manourvre? An unloving act?

Some of these enthusiasts dont let their family/wife/partner even drive their cars freely. Buying these cheaper cars to keep their pride and joy to themselves? What kind of people are they?

Wouldnt you want you wife/family to ride in the safest roomiest and luxurious ride possible not relegate them to a second rate experience?? At least have a 50/50 split (or better in the wife favour) between your car and the wife/family car.

What do you drive as opposed to your partner? Is it at least on par 50/50 with yours? If not....why not!
