Allow me to say that I have been happily married for 21 years. When my wife, Gabriele, told me that she wanted a Smart Car, being a loving husband, I supported her desires and now she is driving around in a yellow/black/black Passion convertible. The problem I am having with this now is, that she is all of a sudden always very happy when she gets home after work and she keeps telling me about all the guys she has met on the highway, who oogled her (...;) ...) or, maybe, the Smart car... ?
Tonight, she caused a traffic bottleneck on Rt. 1 North in Lynnfield, MA, when a big guy in a Dodge Ram pickup truck slowed down traffic in the passing lane right next to her and was blowing her kisses or some such signs using his fingers. Well, that is all she was willing to admit and tell me about this one particular encounter. Who knows how many more men she has already met this way. This has been going on ever since we\she took delivery a couple of weeks ago. So, my question is, should I be concerned? Is my marriage in jeopardy? Is this car a hunk magnet? Please, I need your help to save my marriage! Tell me what to do.

Bremer you need to take quick action to save your marriage!
1. Offer to tint the windows, folks will still look at the car, but wont be able to see your wife. Tell her that it will extend the life of the interior and keeps the car cooler in the summer.
2. If you can, offer to trade cars with her as often as possible, tell her that you've heard that the car needs a special breakin routine, that only you understand how to employ.
3. Start doing everything you can to be nice, helpful and kind. Take her out to dinner, do all your honey do's around the house, etc.
4. Buy yourself a Smart, if you can't stop her, maybe you can get the ladies to start flirting with you in your car. Give her alittle of her own medicine!
But when its all said and done....I'm sorry to say you've already lost her.
You forgot to read the fine print of the Smart purchase contact which states "we are not responsible for maritial discord which will result from potential flirtatious behavior from onlookers."

Perhaps she is getting even with your driving around in that Boxter chick-magnet?
Vander gives very good advice. But tell yourself everyday, you are loved (maybe not as much since the smart arrived) but definitely well-liked by your wife. Feel free to activate the GPS locator on the smart. It's a special tracking device which is disabled upon delivery to married folks. Just remember, you allowed this smart into your life so you must take some part of the responsibility for your current situation. Enjoy! Regina

SMILING.................. I like the SMART PURSHASE CONTRACT THAT YOU STATED...lol..lol Im loving it.,
1. Investigate carpooling options. If you are unable to carpool to work with your wife, most metropolitan areas have rideshare organizations that will match her with another female that lives/works near your home and office. Environmentally friendly and will provide chaperone.
2. Take long weekend drives with your wife. The narrow car provides ample opportunity for you to display affection while stopped at red lights.
