I did that after we were married for about 6 years. That didn't go over good at all. I've been married for almost 27 years now and haven't done anything like that since. That comes up every now and then as the biggest blunder of a Christmas gift.

Tim, I know you had to be joking, but, I had to comment.

Well boys, I dit it last night. 419 some odd dollars later it will be shipped to my door and insured for the trip. YIKES!!!! That was hard to see that play money go, but she's worth it. I love her and would rather do something like this than do something for myself. I mean, she said if we get married we can pull up to the church in a '78 Smokey and The Bandit Trans Am instead of a limo. Her new thing is to pick fights just so we can have make up, well you know. There arn't too many girls like her!

It was on my front doorstep when I got home. It actually seems pretty nice I guess. I showed it to my sister and she about died, so hopefully my girl will love it. I knwow she will.

She seems like a good girl, there arent to many chicks that will let u role up on ur wedding day in a tans am instead of a limo. I wonder if she will let u role up in a lifted superduty or excursion? Keep us posted on how it goes

It might not be worth mentioning, but, be careful that you are setting a standard that you'll have to at least match. You'll feel like you have to top it every year.

I think she would let me do anything, but that Trans Am is just how it is going to have to be. I've wanted one since I was four and saw Smokey and The Bandit. My buddy has a restored '78 with headers, straight pipes, 6.6L, with 6500 miles on the restoration. I havn't even been able to see it yet because he lives far away. I know the second I see it I'll be hooked.

That is what I was and still am worried about. She's pretty easy going. I get her a persent for Christmas, her birthday, and that's about it. I'll get her little things here and there but that's it. I try to always pay when we go out just because that's how I was raised. Every 4th time I let her pay. She begs me to. She gets so mad when I pay for everything. She asked me today how much I spent on her gift because she wanted to match it. I told her it was more than $200, but that's all I'd say. I told her she didn't need to match it.

I am very anxious to give it to her, but I want to wait. The only time I regret my decision is when we fight. We are good for a fight atleast once a week, but it lasts an hour and then we're good again. Hahaha.

Nah, the longest fight lasted about 24 hours if that. Then we make up and we're fine haha. We get along better when we fight. Just get it out of our systems.

Well, tomorrow is the moment of truth. I spent like an hour wrapping it yesterday. I wanted it to be perfect. Took me about 1/2 a roll of paper to wrap a 6x6x6" box. Hahahaha. I'll let you guys know how it goes when I get a second.
