Talking about opening a can of worms, man! I will add that both my corvettes were purchased after I got divorced so no problems there.

I’m pretty fortunate to have a wife that actually bought mine for me🤣. She loves me and understands my needs 👍🏻

While i understand he is upset about the deal falling through,( i would too) there might be something more to the story than his wife not wanting him to purchase it.

For all we know the guy might be in debt up to his house. It is unfair to make an assumption that his wife was just being unreasonable. He might have a history of making poor financial decisions or he cant really afford the car. We never know. If that was the case, the wife would be correct. Rick sells these vettes all day and should have no trouble moving this one. To me its a bit distasteful putting someone on blast like that.

Hell my wife was the one that encouraged me to buy a Corvette! She's a keeper.

If I remember right it's very hard to find and keep a good truck and a good dog. Everything else is replaceable...


Have had my truck 39 years. Dog passed in August.

My other half doesn't car what I buy - I always pay cash... she has her money and does the same.

But she loves the 67 and 71,72. Not so much the 85 track type car... tooo loud ...

In 2012, I had been without a Corvette for 12 years. Due to a sudden increase in job and income status, I wanted to get back into a Corvette. My wife didn't agree, but relented when we agreed on a budget that would buy an 8 year old, C5. She really liked the C5.
Three years later, I wanted a C7. She was against it, but saw that I was determined and, once again, after discussing the money end of it. she acknowledged I would be buying a C7. So while it wasn't a piece of cake to get her to agree, she went along with my passion for a Corvette. I wish she was as enthusiastic as I am, but I'll just have to be happy with her understanding it's what I want.

Bought my 1st new Corvette in 2007 we had everything paid off we could afford it and we bought it.. 9 years later I started playing around with a factory order 2016 Stingray. I had to laugh she sat at my desk where I left the computer print out of the car I just built. I hear " What's up with this Corvette build sheet? " I said " I am going to order a new Corvette" I hear back " I don't think so?" I answer back "yeah I think so" next was awe go ahead your going to do want ever you want anyway. Bingo order was placed. She loves it but pissed I got the M7 she can't drive a stick. Married 40+ years I got a keeper.

Hmm, I've been happily married for 41 years and I don't recall ever asking my wife's permission to buy any of my cars. I have asked her what kind of car she wants and she would always say, "a black Mercedes with a big engine"
In the early days when I couldn't afford that I would just laugh and buy her a Toyota or a minivan. If it wasn't the black Benz, she didn't give a damn what I bought for her.
On our 25th anniversary I finally could afford to buy her a brand new one and now I get her one every four of five years. Take care of them and they'll stay out of your business!

My wife has always encouraged me to by a Vette. I am on my sixth one and she is on her second one. She loves Vettes and all other cool cars.

My wife didn't know I was getting my GS until she heard me talking on the phone with the Intercity transport driver. All she said is how come you're not getting another old one. She doesn't really care what I buy, a keeper.

All 3 Corvettes, Boat, and Harley after divorcing the biggest pain it the *** in my life.
Got 3 great daughters out of the deal.

Well, sadly, I am currently in this conundrum. Wife has her money and then there's our money. Been a lost battle our entire marriage (18 years) and two Corvettes. I usually either buy and let her get over it or buy and just don't tell her. I have really tried to prep the battlefield that I want a new Vette. Sold my C6 in 2016. Basically ordered a 2019 about six weeks ago (did not tell her) and was told by the dealer it will be here tomorrow. Throw stones but our relationship has been very strong lately except on the Corvette front. Yes, I am a big boy and pretty sure I will bring it home, like I have with other toys and let her have her meltdown but makes me think at times I should have stayed single or married a woman that was driving a Vette when I met her.

i Agree on the distasteful comment.

Kevin A Jones

It's not like he identified the guy.

First of all, I wouldn't make a major purchase without discussing it with my wife. Secondly, I wouldn't push purchasing something that would strain our finances. That being said, I (we) currently have three Corvettes (one is hers), a Harley and a vintage Indian. There has never been any issue in 41 years of marriage. HOWEVER, I used to own a custom motorcycle shop. We built customs, sold Indians and several other lines of expensive "choppers". I saw many guys make a "deal" on a bike and then back out because their wife forbade them from buying it. I've also seen several bikes come up for sale or repossessed by a finance company in conjunction with a divorce.

Sales must be slow if he has time to post stuff like this.

I found the whole video unnecessary, and insulting to both the customer, and the spouse. It doesn't matter if the customer wasn't identified, it's still in extremely poor taste.

It does not make me want to do business with him if he talks such trash about a customer. I would rather do business with someone with not only a little discretion, but some tact as well.
