Ok I've been with hubby for like 11 yrs total. & yes this belongs probably under relationships but it won't let me post there for some odd reason.... so anyways....
Now one of my big urks with him is his vehicle issues. Given the time we've been togeather he's gone thru atleast 8 vehicles! So picture it last spring and gas was still super high and of course he was driving a silverado truck that took like $75 just to fill half the tank. He wouldn't trade the darn thing.... all of a sudden it needs some repairs and he's out looking for a "new" car. 
Fine he finds a sports car AKA a midlife crisis vehicle that's stick & I can't drive stick + we have 3 kids to transport... fine whatever. Then I got a pt job to help pay the bills in Aug so he decides he wants the van home when he's home so if something happens he can drive the kids wherever. So that was a big ol' I TOLD YOU SO... So now the 4 door sedan he bought to replace the sports car in wich he said the transmission is going when I started working needed a repair. And ya know he's out looking for another frick'n car! 
I'm just utterly urked! He's upside down on the car he bought in August. While he was getting the sedan repaired he's out looking for another car! I"m thankful he's upside down and banks are really leary about lending these days.
I dunno but he did this same bs with a car he got in '02 the minute it had an issue & it was even under warranty he's out getting a new car.
This whole oh gee it needs a rapair I need a different car is getting under my skin. He's trying to act all innocent but yet has admitted to looking @ atleast 3-4 lots today.....

what!? he just gives up on a car at the first sign of trouble? just like that! that sounds like a guy who just does not know what he wants or needs. keep in mind that i'm 20 years old and kind of impulsive myself, but i plan way ahead to counter my own... personality flaws. anyway, it sounds like he just wants a car that wont break down, no matter what, and that is still good for hauling around the kids and you might like it to be affordable. this is a really hard thing to achieve in a single vehicle, espically when you've gone through so many. is your husband mechanically inclined? if not, you might either try to get him interested, or you can just flat out tell him you like what we have already, and he will just have to stick with it! the only thing i can tell you about keeping the car on the road is keep up to date on the maintenance, such as oil changes, tire pressures, coolant, lubrication, ect. and look at things like lucas fuel treatment. you can find it at most auto parts stores and gas stations. you just put it in the tank before you fill up, and it makes the gas burn hotter and helps to clear out some of the gunk from the engine, making it run smoother, longer and better. i dont know if anything of that helps, but i wish you good luck!

First off he bought a car with 128,000 miles on it what did he expect??? Secondly he's running around grumpy bout it like it's my fault. We can't affor 2 NEW car pmts one is already sinking our ship with me being home with the kids. (daycare is way expensive) I duuno I just wish he'd get out of his mood and accept the situation.
