If your better half is giving you grief about all the VW toys around the house you might want to use the "Well it could be worse!" defense.  Here's some ammo:

$70,000 Hotwheel Bus  (http://www.petersen.org/default.cfm?DocId=1813&CarID=188)  

To put that in perspective, how many REAL, cherry busses could you buy for $70,000?  The most I've ever heard of one going for at auction was a perfect '65 21-wdo sunroof for $38K.  If he wants a bay-window sunroof with no rear window like the beach bomb, I can help him out there for much less than that!
