My wife actually picked out the GT-500 and the C5 Z06. She has a lead foot. My only complaint is I wanted the Red/Black GT-500, but she liked the Alloy/Black-Stripes. Very trivial complaint though, as I really enjoy both cars

Hmmmm.........I managed to get my wife to drive to Austin with me. She ended up getting impatient - and urged me to "pull the trigger" just to get back home. 
It did not hurt that she and the lady owner of Corvette Palace hit it off in friendly conversation
I think she got tired of hearing me talk about it- and figured, put up or shut up LOL.

I always bought what I could afford. Lost of Mustangs, Camaros and T/A's. She saw the Vette coming a mile away, so not much of a reaction there.
The really big
came when I told her I was quitting my job to start my own Corvette Company. 
Peace

Wifes Permission = Divorce. Life is way too short to play those kind of games. Good women are out there, I found one. She enjoys the vette more than me.....NOT. First wife (notice I said first ) hated my C3. Happy to say shes gone, sad to say the c3 is too. New wife=new C5
