Default GF Buys me this.

My sweetheart against my adamant no went ahead and bought me this on our way to NY Saturday because she thought since I own the cars I should have the jacket.

It's always nice when the little lady surprises us with something we can actually use.

Do I sense that it may not be to your liking?

Ouch!!! I understand your predicament. Your GF really thought she was buying you something you would love. You now need to make sure you don't hurt her feelings. Question is; where the hell would you wear something like that with the least amount of embarrassment? Good luck!

A Corvette Show or The Corvette Museum? It's probably not something you would wear down to the Walmart.

What's a "Walmart"? LOL.

A great gift from your lady, but no way would I wear that!

If I had a GF and she bought me a jacket, I'd wear it. It's a little much for my taste, but I've learned a few things in 47 years of marriage. If the little lady ain't happy, you ain't going to be either.

Tough situation you are in. Best of luck to you in either wearing the jacket or somehow not hurting her feelings.

Just wear it to a car show or two and maybe out to get the paper on your driveway. No big whoop.

As ridiculous as it would be to wear that out in public.
It actually looks like a damn nice jacket and most likely expensive lol

What the heck, I can't be the only one that likes this jacket. Doesn't say Wal-mart or trailer trash to me. Have you seen all those NASCAR jackets?
Would be a great Rally Jacket or just cruzing, wear it with pride!

Tell her it is too beautiful to wear, have it framed and hang it somewhere
inconspicuous in your home like the basement
