Is it worth a possible divorce?!?

Here what you do. Paint your Sled just one solid color... Tell her that since you cant have the sled of your dreams that you wanted to fix yours up a bit (Just a little lie).... So paint the whole thing black or white or somthing just easy. Now sell the sled, buy your Pro Rmk store it at your buddies for a bit, Paint the Pro the same color as you painted your old one, this should fool her long enough for you to get a couple rides on her or may even fool her for seasons to come !!! This plan will not work however if she snowmobiles her self . So this may not work for you...how ever this is your best bet for a quick hide. Or you could always ask your local dealer to right you up a fake receipt to your wife showing her that you got an AMAZING deal on a new pro, and that all you had to do was trade it straight across for your old one . You just gotta think outside the box ! hang in there.

HA HA HA HAAAA.... yeah so my sled is supposed to be selling tomorrow and I'm hoping to find a good pro before snow flies. I have the option to buy a left over 2011 RMK (standard) from my local dealer with zero miles on it for $9400. I'm considering that option pretty heavily actually. I actually like the color scheme better on the standard. I would probably ride it for a bit and then swap out shocks (fox) and handle bars (rsi).

This is worth bringing this thread back up. On our 1 year anniversary, my wife is driving and were headed to her parents house to pick them up for dinner. We come around the corner to their house and guess what is sitting out front? A '11 PRO RMK 155! Needless to say she topped my gift. I never asked for one or said I wanted one, all I did was talk about how awesome of a sled they were and probably said something like if one appeared on the trailer, I would probably ride it . The funniest part was that I was reading this thread to her out loud about a week before that laughing my butt off and she kept a straight face knowing as soon as I left in the morning for work she was off to pick the sled up!

This is somewhat similar to my situation last year! We were on our way up to get a Christmas tree and I was talking about the new Pro. Before we get to the tree lot she up and said why don't you see if the dealer has any left. Took me around 2 to 3 minutes to respond, being in shock and all. Next morning picked up my new Pro. What a wonderful wife and she doesn't even ride!

It is kind of nice being single and not having to get permission to buy something.

Being single has its advantage but I wouldn't give up what I have now. Two girls and two boys. One of the boys always go with me riding and my youngest daughter used to go with me until she got out on her own, lives in Baltimore. My wife generally gives into what I want, not always but most of the time. After being married for 36 years it would be hard to change my ways.

What are you going to ride more....your sled or the wife ?!

HAPPY ENDING

Your comment reminded me of one of my bud's that rode with us who had a "wonderful" wife that always encouraged him to buy more toys and go out ridin' with his friends.

However, she never went with him on sled and ATV trips.

He came home a day early from a sled trip, found out the wife was with her boyfriend.

Needless to say, he's not married anymore, still has the sled though.
