It was for this exact reason I slept on the couch for 4 days after going to "test drive" the 250 this past December and then coming home with it in my name. When we saw it could actually squeak in under the door, but it stuck out almost a foot (and we have a pretty be garage) the wife was ticked that now we'd have a vehicle that had to stay parked in the driver rather than the garage. She was not a happy camper, but after several days, and a few rides around town (and also my 12 year old daughter that loved being "bigger" than all we came along side) she got over the issue.

Aw, heck - you already did:
* The 2012 was being negotiated while my wife was away on vacation with one of her painting buddies (picture Thelma and Louise) out in Oregon. I'm getting the last $1,000 out of the dealer, it's Saturday evening and sales guys want to leave, cell rings and its my wife. How the heck does she know? I think. She doesn't care - just asks 'do I have to go back to work?' and when I say no, she's content.
* I bought the first race car trailer when she was on another vacation, this one in the Virgin Islands. I mean, how could she say no?
I'm pretty sure she won't stop going on vacation, and I won't stop buying toys.
What's the phrase? Happy wife, happy life? She knows it could be worse.
