What the heck? You should NEVER spend that much money and buy a car that you don't even know is the right fit for your spouse. |

Neither of us would be overly happy about it. Especially taking on debt that has zero appreciation value.

I was really hoping to receive a gift card for the Indian dealer so I could get me a Chieftain Classic but no joy.

Well, this post is four years old and seems to have aged well.

I do now that if I bought the truck for me and the SUV for her-there is no way in hell she is getting the truck. Marriage over.

Okay, we have a case study here.
Did you know that she wanted the Lexus? Did she expect that you might buy her a vehicle? Had she been talking to you about buying a car? How did you know the right color to buy? I have so many questions about this. |

She had no clue I would buy her one, but we had discussed buying her a new vehicle after the first of the year. She told me what colors she liked. In retrospect, it was a mistake. She liked the Lexus, but she wasn’t attached to it since she didn’t pick it out. Two years later we ended up trading the Lexus in for a Hyundai Santa Fe Sport (I couldn’t believe it either). |

It was a nice thought on your part, though. If she liked a Hyundai, it seems like a Lexus would be a safe choice. |

These have been on for years. The luxury brands seem to run them quite a bit and it's always struck me as preposterous.
I feel like trying to pick out clothes for people is nearly a lost cause. Let alone picking one shirt that needs to be worn everyday for years, isn't really returnable or swappable, and possibly costs a good chunk of a person's annual after tax salary. |
