What a wife
I saw a 2000 nassau blue coupe on a local lot. I stopped and looked and later test drove. It was an A4 pretty well loaded with 40000 miles. They wanted $17,000. Two days later I went back and they said it was sold.
A week later my son called and asked me to help him with a leaky water heater. When I got there, I went to the garage to look at it, and there sits the vette. I said you're the one who bought it? He said no, mom bought it for you.
Now I owe her big time.
