Defiantly Mr Moo.
Behind me no, but she was in other positions earlier
As i said, it's all in the selection, sometimes we get it right sometimes we get it wrong. Me, I was just lucky.
Blimey, makes me sound like a Jap soft roader owner not a manly LR bloke. Oh well. Off to be manly and do some hunter and gather stuff: Meat from the butcher and a Xmas tree.

Experience is a difficult teacher, because she gives the test first and then the lesson afterwards!!!!

My wife had a habit of reversing my lLnd Rover into things. Over the years I paid for lots of replacements - bollards, lamp-posts, gates, etc. Only once damaged the LR though.A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

Sadly the Vow of "for richer or for poorer" you agreed to on your wedding day in front of your entire family, did not specify exactly how she would make you poorer.
Count yourself lucky if this is the only way she implements what you agreed to.
Or was you just thinking of the "Love honor and obey bit"
You could of course try getting her to obey your insistence that she must not reverse into things with your Car but then she might insist you obey her insistence that you wash up.
That reminds me, i must get that ding in the rear bumper of my RR sorted to that appeared one day and must have been down to some unknown third party hitting it with a bollard etc.

Upgradering from wife 1 to girlfriend 2 is a very expensive upgrade.
We do not recommend trying to upgrade to girlfriend 2,0 while you still have wife 1,0
Wife 1,0 is known to have incapability problems with girlfriend 2,0 , such problems arise like trashed car, burnt clothes etc.
Installing divorce 1,0 to wife 1,0 is very expensive and most of our experience is that Divorce 1,0 steals all resources and you are just left in underwear 1,01.
Good luck.
I would suggest a 'remap'. Not the car but you. In my experience the very time you blow a fuse and say what you're thinking, you'll end up scuffing an alloy or clipping a bollard, then it'll be loads of "oh so it's ok for you to break it but not me!".
So the moral of the story being its ok to be boiling on the inside, just be cool on the outside or in other words 'remap' your reaction and when buying the parts to fix the said misdemeanor, slip in some new bling too and SWMBO will be none the wiser.
Fook must go she's back from Asda and the dishes aren't one yet!
