[quote=Anonymous]DH is hell bent on getting a vehicle road ready and driving me nuts. No pun intended. He comes inside with dirty fingernails and arms covered in grease. Then refuses to shower because he said hes just taking a break and heads out again later. I am trying to convince him to just sell it and be done with it but he won't budge. Looking for tips or advice?

Its a 20 year old wrangler- and his first car. The vehicle sat for the past 3 years in the driveway and lost its luster. It used to be his daily driver until a friend gave him a Subaru. The vehicle has tags and about 150k miles on it. Is this worth anything? He refuses to even consider selling, but I want a new car. Even the Subaru is pushing 300k miles, although in very good condition as maintenance schedule is always followed.

I guess my dilemma is I don't like him putting money into the vehicle when its probably not worth it. It gets horrible gas mileage (15-17 mpg) and has essentially noise insulation from the road. Its only has 2 seats as well. So its not for the family.

To be fair he did fix a bunch of issues with it and got it to pass emissions and safety inspections on his own, but now hes talking about upgrading brakes and other performance stuff I don't understand. He's even talking about modifying the dash to wire in a backup camera (which you dont even need as the vehicle is so small and is essentially a convertible).

What gives!?
