We have all witnessed such experiences across a wide spectrum between spouses/ partners: from buying Activa vs. Jupiter to a Model X vs. Mercedes EQC.
While the basic problem resonates with what you write, your case triumphs with the way you have sprinkled humor. Amply!

Simply amazing write up, great detail, humour and a fantastic car to write about. Especially loved the chicken runaround with the spray bottle. Wish you a happy association with the Merc! Once we accept who the boss is, life becomes so much easier

Would love to know if YW has read your review and her reaction if she has. Hope you don’t have a gun lying around the house

Cheers

What a cracker of a write-up!!
I was in the middle of work with a couple tabs of Team-BHP open and I happened to chance upon the headline and ended up reading the entire thing!

I'm in the middle of a similar discussion but flowing the other way around - I'm the one who WANTS to buy a new car and MW doesn't. I don't see this endeavour being successful, but what doesn't kill you and all that jazz!

Wonderful writeup, Akshay! Made for an awesome read.
Congrats on the new car, and great job with the detailing.

I have recently cultivated this habit of digging out must read but out of sight threads and refer them to my 11 year old kid.

While most of them are travelogues, there are times when gems like these too get added to the list.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading the episodic narrative. Keep writing man .

This is hilarious and a brilliant write up.

Had been active in TBHP a lot recently and was thinking of going back to some other stuff i used to read but after reading this, to hell with them. They're not even close

Also figured that I have probably read about 1% of the content on TBHP and everytime I read something different I am astonished at the knowledge and writing skills BHPians possess.
So head and heart in unanimity have decided to dedicate all the time to exploring TBHP.

Well done

PS : Thanks to dailydriver for bumping up this thread in the new-posts section. Would've missed it otherwise.

Bumping this thread since it is easily one of the funniest I've ever read, and thought some folks could use a laugh 😅

Thanks. We really could use a laugh these days, right? I should also update this story.

Those snippets of conversation were excellent!

Congratulations on getting the E. It pays to keep the home minister in your good books to enjoy a good set of wheels. It does not matter if they were of the two wheeled or four wheeled variety.

I checked on more than one occasion to see if somehow by some miracle, the Yeti had returned. Excellent writeup. Will make a point to see your older posts. Enjoy the E and keep treating us to more of these amazing posts

Just wanted to check- is the Bowers and Wilkins sound system not offered in Volvos in India? From whatever I know, I believe the Mark Levinson system in the Lexus is perfectly engineered.

I guess the OP meant to say Bowers & Wilkins in the Volvos that comes as standard in the inscriptions range here in India.
