Car or motorcycle – that is the question

What do you think about cars? I’m sure that the majority of you’ll say that they facilitate our lives, that they serve as a source of movement and that many of you can hardly imagine their lives without their vehicles.
Nearly three weeks ago I had a conversation with my friend who said me an interesting phrase: “cars influence relations between spouses greatly”. I personally don’t have a car that’s why I didn’t understand what my friend meant but I couldn’t stop thinking about these words of my friend on my way home. It was like a little puzzle for me.
In several days I talked to another my friend Jim who is married and has a car for at least five years. Jim said to me that he quite often has quarrels with his wife because of the car: she doesn’t like the fact that he spends a lot of days off in the garage in stead of going out with her and children or at least cutting a lawn; she often gets angry cause he spends nearly a half of his salary on spare parts for the car (though at the beginning of a month they can plan to buy a new vacuum cleaner or a set of saucepans, but he spends this money on the car); she usually says that the fact that he prefers for instance to spend money on shock absorbers shopping or on making auto lights deals in stead of buying necessary things for the house drives her crazy.
My friend said that not long ago he wanted to do Mitsubishi tuning (which wasn’t a necessity but just his desire) and his wife made a terrible row and didn’t talk to him for several days. The same was when he wanted to buy another Hankook cheap tyre source.
Frankly speaking before this talk with Jim we (I and my wife) planned to buy a car, but after that I decided that we did very well without a car and we could easily continue to live without it.
Nearly a week ago we discussed this issue with my wife and we came to conclusion that we would better buy a motorcycle in stead of a car, as it’s cheaper to buy and to repair (for example, if I need to find motorcycle tires it would be easier and cheaper than to buy tires for a car), it’s easier to care about it and it’s not so complicated in use.
So it seems to me that we managed to find a good solution to this problem, because we think that our friendly relations are far more important!
