I will try to swap cars with her. Really is up to her. My point with my wife saying that she has the crappier car is she blames me if the one of the sensors fails or a year old starter suddenly doesn't work. Aside from the obvious -- tires, brakes, oil, standard maintenance items -- how can I control those things from failing?

My car is subjectively no better than hers. I need to replace the front tires soon, the front brakes need attention as well...so you see what I mean?

By anyway, I hope to take care of her car and not seem like I'm overstepping my bounds. Thanks again for your advice, Sandi. If you refer to my post from late last night, I have other things on my heart right now. frown I just need to stop worrying about her and what she thinks/does. Easier said than done sometimes.
