I think you're in the right to want a safer car to drive, esp knowing you have kids. He should see that its in you and your kids best interest to travel safely. All this money he's putting into this bike he could be saving for your family a bigger house and newer things that you may need. Don't beat yourself up on thinking you are in the wrong, or being unreasonable, cause your totally not. If hes the "man" of the house, then common sense should tell him to do whats best for his family and not be so cheap. The only advice I can give you is, save your money, and show him that you can support yourself and your kids, buy you a better car and this is gonna probably gonna sound evil, but, rub it in his face, when he wants to drive it, tell him he's got his precious bike. Ive never come to understand why men are so tight when it comes to money, but it sounds like your husband is just stubborn and cheap.
