    Yes. If she's super fine, then give her my telephone number right before you call her...

    Thats alright, I asked my wife two weeks before I bought mine if she wanted to move to a bigger house. She said no. I asked again one week before I bought mine, she still said no. A week later, I pulled up with the car.



    Now she wants a pair of earings.......and not the small ones!

    if it was your cash, screw it- you have nothing to worry about. i come home all the time with new stuff, my wife finds out when i bring it home and shes always fine with it. if shes not fine- oh well.

    start takling about it now.. so when it comes, the shock wont be so bad.

    If you think she will be pissed, make sure when it come off the truck you put a box from tiffany in the passager seat with something good. Then you can say..oh look, i had them add something for you also.

    If shes gonna get REALLY mad... go for the gold.
    You could just have some smokin hot girl delivered with it. (im kidding) At least she wont be mad about the car.

    Best of luck. I'm not married but my Girlfriend was pissed when I bought a 30,000 dollar car let alone something like a ferrari. I'd have to agree if there is anything she really wants it may be a good idea to get it for her :)

    My wife read this with me. Her only concerns when I buy a 360 are that the Viper stays and I show her how to drive the F1 trans (so she can race me)

    When I was signing the paperwork for my 360, the women helping me on the dealer side asked me "Does your wife know about this?" and I looked at her like she was crazy and she said it happens all the time.

    I'm with Mambodave... make sure there's a nice blue box in the car in the car with something stupid-expensive that she'd never buy for herself.

    My wife is a 2nd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do... so I'm in the habit of asking nicely on a regular basis :)

    do what the rest of us puzzy-fied guys do

    tell her you bought her a 360

    she'll only drive it once (hopefully if it's an F1 she won't back it up the ramp at the mall trying to park)

    :)

    I had mine for 3 months before i told my wife. It cost me a sl55 which showed up before the 360. Now anytime I buy her something she ask what did i buy myself. I am considering adding a 612 but not sure of what that will cost me. I have come to the conclusion that the fcar is much cheaper and easier to maintain.

    Since you have not filled out your profile I cannot determine if you are in a community property state. It would be important to know that before I'd suggest an answer.

    However, much could depend upon your wife's temperment, her status of high or low maintenance, and her need to know.

    Consider all and tell us in what state you reside. If California you should about now be thinking division of assets!

    BTW, where are the photos- of the car not your wife. I think we all know what she will look like after you tell her.
