There was no convincing required here for the purchase oddly enough. I told her I found something, showed her a picture, she said she liked it, and that was that. I've been driving hoopties for the past 5 years so she was almost eager to have me in something respectable. My last three daily drivers have been as follows; 1984 Ford F-250 V8 diesel, 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8, 1995 Ford Thunderbird V8 (see a pattern here?), she hasn't hated them but has always advocated for something newer.
I bet I'll have less maintenance on the X then my past vehicles so I'm not sweating this lovely temperamental beast. Also a note on me, I'm a professional heavy diesel truck mechanic by trade (currently working as a lead on heavy equipment) but cut my teeth in the car world. Keeping up with the X should keep me entertained for at least a while.
