Bought a C4 after being with my SO for 2 years (had been vetteless for a few years-sad state of affairs!) She drove it for a couple of days, she had to have it, so she bought one for me! Lived happily ever after!

First of all - torchblue - u rule!!! Second of all - i'm proud of this post - lots of great input. I started it - and no i didn't get a divorce bcuz of it - but-hehehehhehhe - sure didn't help. I still have the vette!!!! The cool chics are the ones that dont really"say" anything about them to me just in kind of a secret way not to seem like a "groupie". That is weird but my assessment. I am 37 yrs old but am really abt 27 and i am proud to be a vette owner. I wish i treated her better (the vette)!!!

Happy Anniversary to you both! I salute your commitment to each other and to your vows. Go for a nice ride in the Vette and have a great dinner or something! Happy Anniversary!

I have kids, and owned a 95 Trans Am vert for years, and argued it was "practical" because I could carry the kids... then one day outta the blue the WIFE tells me I should buy a droptop Vette. I nearly drove off the road!

No divorce or even close to it, but I do talk to my wife before going out and spending that kind of money on something.

Bought the vette for her , without her knowing until I walked in and gave her the key. I got it a year later , she got the next new car after I started looking for a used vette for me. Both happy .

Very funny subject (to me at least) 
Just the other week some coworkers were talking about smoking cigars and such during lunch. One of the ladies of the office chimes in. "your wife lets you smoke those in the house!??!" he replies with "what the hell do you mean 'my wife lets me?!?!' Its my house I'll do whatever the fu#& I want!" Talk about a deer in the headlights look! Her jaw as on the floor and he had a look on his face like you just pissed on his leg. Couldn't of said it better my self 
This guy IS currently my new idol!
Real men are few and far between now a days...

These are funny and somewhat reflective posts.
You know- if you seriously have to ask for permission, it is not a car you need to trade in , it is your spouse
Chances are- you are asking for more than a car, and being turned down. Get the car- trade the wife..........

Funny story............I bought my 98 Lingenfelter without telling her!! On the way home from work my son and I were devising ways to break the news. He says... let see mom, we have every car in two's. 2 novas, 2 camaros, 2 vans and 2 vetts......... FRICKEN CA-BANG! What the hell did you say? she asks. As I kinda stand around quietly. Yah Mom we have 2 of all of them. Well to this day I tell her its a deal I would still do today so please get over it, its automatic so you can drive it, (Iam trying to convince myself of this). Well its winter in Chicago so I have time to figure this out.
