Delicious. (I'm in Ohio.)

My partner and I have joint financial accounts, but it still would be weird to us to take whatever car.

Who wants.to adjust the seat and mirrors every time they drive?

[–] [email protected] 80 points 1 month ago (11 children)

Maybe they just hit a button (1, 2)

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Don't even need to hit it sometimes - the profile often goes with the key fob too.

They must be similar sizes.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

My wife and I are about the same height so we don't have to adjust our seats.

We've got 1 car. If I need to go somewhere and the wife has it, I get the bus. It's a lot cheaper than owning 2 cars.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 1 month ago (16 children)

That's fantastic if your city offers busses! Or public transportation at all 😭

Yup, that's how we do it. We have kids and two cars: minivan and hybrid sedan. The hybrid gets more than 2x the mileage vs the minivan, it's smaller, and both of us prefer it, so it's what we use 90% of the time. We take the minivan if we're all going somewhere, or we both need to be somewhere at the same time. I'll also take the minivan for cargo (hardware store, dump, furniture store, etc).

Before we had kids, we had one car. When we both needed to be somewhere at the same time, I'd take my bicycle or the bus, and my SO would take the car.

Each person having "their" car makes no sense to me, I see cars as tools in the toolbox, and we take the one that's best suited to the task at hand.

my partner likes to eat in her car.

I like to camp in bear country.

we share but there are definitely assigned vehicles. Also cutely I bought hers for her and she bought mine for me and we both love that.

We have two electric cars, a big one and a small one. The small one is “mine” and the big one is “his.” However, we both work from home so the only commute anymore is taking the kids to school. So, whenever possible, we take the little one because it’s more efficient by far. He doesn’t mind and thankfully it saves seat profiles, even if we always have to adjust the mirror.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

We do the same, but opposite. We have a minivan and a smaller EV. The minivan is technically hers and the EV is mine, but it's really more what it's used for. If one of us is taking the kids somewhere (school, birthday parties, fun) we take the van. If we're running to the store, normal errands or just taking a single kid we'll use the EV.

It doesn't make sense for her to take the minivan to run to the store to pick up something small and it doesn't make sense for me to take the smaller car to bring the kids somewhere.

I love my wife, she can't drive for shit though, nor does she respect vehicle maintenence, much less asthetic care.

Nope.

Also, she's literally told me she'd be afraid to drive my car precisely because I keep it so nice and she doesn't want to be responsible for fucking it up.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

I fell into this trap. We have a nice, fancy, efficient EV that's my daily driver, and a larger, less efficient gas vehicle that doubles as the family car/road trip machine that she dailies. We work roughly the same distance from our offices, but on days when she has to go across town on an errand, she takes the EV. It makes sense to save gas and whatnot.

Rims are fucked. I think she's rubbed them on every available curb in a 25 mile radius. She doesn't care. Fuck me for wanting a nice car I guess.

For years we didn't have our own sides of the bed, but then one day we got a bed side table and that all came to an end.

My wife and I each have our own cars, but they're both in her name so she can drive whatever the fuck she wants.

I can't even entertain this premise. There's no way neither of them has a preference...

It's how we do it. Some factors in choosing the car:

  • Distance (gas milage)
  • Destination (smaller car for inner city driving/parking)
  • Safety of route (sometimes I drive over the mountains and one our cars is better suited)
  • Number and size of passengers (children vs adults)
  • Cargo (dump run, grocery shopping, etc)
  • If I have to take a conf call when driving

My car has a clutch. My wife can’t drive it. It’s exhausting when something goes wrong with her car.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Sold my Miata for this reason and I regret it every day.

My wife and I share the cars like this. Is it so weird? We usually select the best car for the job at hand.

I have a hard time accepting that everyone should have their own vehicle in the first place.

You guys usually have two cars?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

How else are you supposed to get to work? The bus takes 2 and a half hours and you will get there late and have to leave early. God I wish the bus was viable.

Wow what a couple of freaks. I bet they probably even sleep in the same bed. Who tf does stuff like that. This is the biggest scandal that has ever been posted on lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Yeah, but they almost certainly have their own "side" of the bed. What kind of monsters wouldn't?

We have two cars and they are both kinda mine. He bike commutes and way prefers it. I work two hours away though and have always driven more. So generally I take the van if I’m going to be at work for a few days, I’ve got it camperized, or the bmw if it’s a there and back, or other trips like that. Since I’m gone for a few days at a time he still needs a car for some errands, otherwise we’d just have the van. I do all the organizing for service work and cleaning, and general car stuff as well.

There are wealthy families usually from over seas. 3 brothers will buy a mansion together they will all live there with their wives, they all help each other and they buy 2 regular cars and a luxury car that they all share. They look at us Americans like we are crazy and I gotta say they kinda have a point.

I could never do this, my car is one the few sacred places that can be truly my own. I'm not even sure I can let someone else sit in the driver's seat

I don't get it, what's so special about this?

It’s just a reckless way to live and is frankly plunging our entire society into unabated chaos
