On the other hand, if she's anything like many wives I've heard about, it's an argument you'd never win! Good luck!
It's an argument I'm not willing to attempt. After being together for 40 years I carefully pick my fights, this isn't one of them. Although, I'm sure, if I got her a C6 or C7, she may capitulate to the view that a Corvette is a Corvette...regardless of the lights.
