Thanks! I dunno. Lost on the Internet somewhere, I guess.
My wife and I just bought two brand-new cars last month, literally within two days of each other. Rare to do that, but it's just how it worked out this time.
My wife dumped her 2006 Nissan X-Trail for a new Civic Coupe, and I traded in my 1999 Miata on a 2017 Mazda6 sedan.
It was her turn to have something "sporty" and my turn to have the "familymobile". Both cars are 6-speed manuals, so at least we still get to enjoy the driving experience. There probably aren't many households with three stick shifts in the driveway any more (including my Cobra).
Both of our new cars are white too. At first I thought it might be odd that we had the same colour rides. But then again, my Miata and her X-Trail were both silver. And back when we were dating, we both drove red cars -- my 1991 Civic hatchback and her 1988 Dodge Daytona -- so it obviously isn't the first time it's happened.
