How to Convince Your Wife to Let You Buy an ATV
It’s no secret that ATVs are cool and almost every man wants one. However, getting your wife to see the vision is quite difficult at times. Any good family conversation should center around that: “family.” ATVs are a great way to spend time together as a family. ATVs are a link to dozens of great outdoor activities like camping, hunting, fishing, trail riding, and afternoon spins. Below, I’ll point out a few ways that riding ATVs makes these activities even better.
Camping is a great way to connect with nature and an ATV is the perfect way to do it as a family. You can get on the quad together and spend the day riding the trails talking and enjoying nature. Hunting and fishing are great ways to bond and discover new places. Your ATV will help you do this more efficiently.
Horseback riding is one of our favorite ways to spend the weekend. After a few trips, my wife is starting to enjoy driving too. Since she is new to the state, it has been an amazing way to show her the nature around her. We chat and let the family dog join us running behind.
Afternoon spins are one of the best ways to spend an afternoon with the kids after work, giving your wife a break from the kids. It’s a win-win for both of them. ATVs can also be a great help in the garden. Our yard needs a lot of help and my quad is really helping me handle the sheer amount of work. I have never met a wife who does not want her husband to spend more time in the garden or playing with the children. An ATV is a great way to do all of these things in a way you’ll love too.
Buy Used – Spending $8,000 bucks on your first quad is going to be a very tough sell. However, finding the guy who is selling your quad after riding it only a few times is a great way to save money and get an awesome machine. Let the first owner take the depreciation drop.
The most important thing is to make sure it’s not just another way of leaving your wife for the weekend with the guys. Teach him how to drive and take the kinds of rides he’ll enjoy, and save the hard rides for your rides with friends. I grew up riding all my life and now it is becoming one of my wife’s favorite activities. The sale has been long but we will be pilots for life.
