Don't ask her. I say buy it and ask for forgiveness later

I found one that I am buying today actually. I can’t wait, and a lot of dealers will ship for a reasonable fee.

Did you just call them up and negotiate over the phone? Whatcha getting?? Post photos!

I am a lucky guy. My wife found out who I was when we were dating. She knew I was a car guy. We were dating and on her birthday one year I put leather in her car for her. She wasn't used to those kinds of "gifts" She has been with me through so many cars. If I tell her I am going to talk to the dealer she understands I'm not going to kick tires.

For my ZL1 though since I still have a car I rarely drive in the garage I did have to negotiate a bit. I bought her a new traverse first to soften her up. Then I mentioned the ZL1 was also going home with us.

Nice! My wife knows I’m a flavor of the week into everything guy. Sounds like what I did with buying her a new car, I just so happened to throw the Camaro into the deal for me too

sounds like you got it good though!

I wish I wouldn’t have because I would have paid off 2013 right now and I could have just bought the ZL1 while keeping a V6.

Well im sure you forget all about it every time you get into the ZL1. It has an incredible ability to clear the mind when you're in it.

SliChillax · 03-22-2019, 08:18 AM

You guys make it sound like you're using your wifes money to buy the car. Why should I ask her? Or why would she be against me purchasing something that I enjoy?

Hopefully when I get into it! Haha! I’m reading the traction thread and getting nervous about driving one.

She isn’t against me enjoying things. She just wants to know I’m looking out for our future while I’m purchasing 70K cars for myself. That’s all.
