Met my wife in the local corvette club. Now we have TWO 
There is an old story, true or not I dont know that kind goes like this;
Guy was reading the paper and say an add for a 67 Chevelle for sale cheap $10. call
So he though it must have been a misprint and called. Lady answered the phone and they started chatting about the car.
She knew a lot about the car, what he husband had done, all kinds of custom this or that, fancy paint job too.
He said Great and the price is ??? seams to have a mis print in the paper.
She said NO, No misprint selling it for $10.
So he jumps on over there and ****** up the car and gives her the $10 and she signs over the title to him
Then curiosity got the better of him and says, Lady this car is worth $10,000 so why????
She said I know.. But my husband left me, ran off with his secretary to New Zealand and told me to sell the car and send him the money.

It was very close
J/K but it cost me afterwards
Bought mine when I was TDY in the US before I moved to Vegas. I think the words were "What have you done?!"

Had a '77 before I got married. Later traded it for a Camaro, so I was entitled to replace the Camaro with another Corvette. Right????
Did not work, so I bought another Camaro, then traded both Camaros for a 2004 Z06. No problem!!

I am with Top Flight on this one...my wife told me to make it happen. Told me I work hard, etc. So I did, she loves it.
I will admit it has totally killed my ability to refute any purchase she makes and she knows it. So it came with a price, but I would pay it twice over.
As the Caddy commercial says...when you turn it on, does it return the favor...the simple answer is yes my C5 does everyday, so worth every penny.

I have had 4 different vettes since being married for only 3 1/2 years. The first one was purchased on our honeymoon.

Got ours after being married around two years. I'd wanted one for a while, but wasn't really sure about spending the money. My wife talked me into it, and we both very much enjoy the car.
