i may be young, but i have a bad feeling that you may be a dead man walking, hope she likes fast cars, maybe you could wrap a bow around it and say its hers, and that you just have to break it in for the first 50,000 miles before she can drive it

Oh man...I agree - possible dead man walking!

Your only hope is to point out how environmentally friendly the Vette is compared to an SUV. Suggest getting alternate gift - earrings, necklace, etc.

You are a selfish man.
Your poor wife has to drive an '88 Bronco.

I had to edit what I wrote originally.
I don't want to be politically incorrect...God forbid.

Congrats & enjoy! The heck with the wife...there's plenty of women around, but only a limited number of C6's...

The lawnmower repair business must be cranking! I'm a computer network engineer and have a hard time writing the check every month for a used ($40k) Viper + ins... Maybe it's time to change careers.
