WOW!!! I thought MY wife was great,She found my shark,,bought me a Backyard Buddy,and OK'd The FRC!! But in my wildest imagination would she come up with a move like that! She's managed a few small surprises,,but she's not even in the same ball park with your honey!!! You better make sure you TREAT HER RIGHT!! Take care of her!! On second thought,,you must be very good to her for her to go through the trouble to think this one up!! You two must have a great marriage!! Congratulations on BOTH counts!!! ENJOY the new ride,,get out and drive it!!

Guys like you and me are very fortunate to have partners that truly "get it". My wife recently ok'd me buying a second Vette, and wants nothing in return other than to see me happy.

I wish you many miles of smiles with your car.
