She says its too big , uses too much gas and is too hard to park at school .

One problem is we already have financing and insurance on it , so I don't know if the dealer will take it back (they said if any problems bring it back ??? )

 

What the F can I do to make her change her mind ?

Good lord man that is a bad situation.

 

There really isn't much you can do about it unless your dealer is really cool but you would still have to pay them quite a bit to take it back.

 

Good luck

I guess all you can do is keep it for yourself and then trade your old truck in for a used Cavalier for her...

spoke to the guy who owns the lot (friend of my dads) called him at home and he said he never does this but since my familys farm has been loyal customers to his dealership we can either trade it back in for something else or he will take it back and give us the down, but he will have to keep our trade

So i'm really confused now   ???  ???  ???

 

Less than a friggin week :jester:

I really like it except for the front which in time could be gotten over

I think i should let make her learn how to drive manual then drive one of our tandems around for a week or so and see if she still complains about size-mileage

I like Shaner's idea, keep it for you and trade yours in for something for her. Did your girlfriend test drive it? I guess she should have tried parking it a couple of times. If she could just hang in there for a couple of weeks...it will get easier for her. It took me about a month to get used to my X-Terra after having a small Toyota truck for 10 years.  

Well...good luck with whatever you do.

Sounds like the rock and a hard place situation. I would trade your old truck for something smaller for her. I don't care much for the new front ends or the rear tail lights, but the rest of the truck is pretty sweet.

I vote for trading your old on ein on a small car for her too.  But good luck with whatever you end up doing.

I think you should keep the truck and trade in the girlfriend. Over the span of the loan she is going to be higher maintenance than the truck anyway.

I agree.

 

You can have mine (g/f that is, not one of the trucks).

 

She has her own ex-cab Chevy...And shes cute. 4'11" and 95 lbs.

ah, short and sweet?  If I can be serious for a moment(Lance Storm), I'd have to agree with the others, keep the new and work on trading the old for something economical/small.

good advice!

 

I would maybe look into trading the 5-speed on something inexpensive for her,

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
