if you want the relationship to last, never mention it again.
I gave my wife my car, and in 9 years she has:
rubbed every wheel (16" Mille Miglia) on every bank and fast food curb between here and her work.
Parked by braille.
Followed a sand truck to OKC in a snowstorm because she thought "it was safer". The front of the red car was now white, I thought from snow. It was the primer under the red.
Neglected to use the sun shield. The dash now has more cracks than a homo orgy.
Attempted to adjust the dash mounted radar detector with her arm THROUGH the steering wheel, while in the middle of a turn. When she unwound the steering, her arm went with it and broke the cruise lever.
Called me from the highway and said " the car doenst have any power..." when I asked if she took the e brake off before driving, she hung up.
Ignored the brake shimmy (80 dollar rotors) till it became a 800 dollar front suspension rebuild. Quote from mechanic: "I have never seen one THIS bad"
I love my wife, shes the best thing that ever happened to me. I never mention these things, and we are happy. If you harp on her, she might take better care of it next time, or she may just find someone who doesnt harp on her. If you expected her to take good care of it without explicit dircetions, shame on YOU.
