Default What Should I Do?

The wife and I decided to Christmas shop in Myrtle Beach yesterday (yes, another trip to the beach), so I decided to take my favorite route that goes by a particular Chevy dealership. They always seem to have a "few" Vettes parked outside the showroom.

Well this day there were six '07 Vettes parked out near the hiway; all colors and convertibles too. I said "Look sweetie, which one do you want?" Her response was "Let's go trade the car in on the pretty white convertible. We can go back home, get yet another car, and trade two in on it."

I have to assume she was kidding but I can't get if off my mind. How do I convince her that this was a great idea.

By her last comment, "We can go back home, get yet another car, and trade two in on it." I think she was joking. Sounds like something my wife would say. Then add or maybe one off the kids could drop out of school we could save money there...........

I think you'd better find a new route to the beach!

So, you go for a drive in your new car- get home and park- nothing's wrong! No strange noises! No leaks! What are you gonna do now, go drive again? There's just no hobby in new cars!

go buy it tomorrow. Get a big bow for the top of it and say merry Christmas. How can she kill you if you are just giving her a really nice Christmas present?

Dont assume nothing she said it so go do it you won't regret it.
When you come home with it if she says anything negtive just tell her it was her idea and she said it how were you suppost to know she wasn't serious

Btw black is the nicest color IMHO
