Yep, two 60-70k cars,
5 million dollar home with an under 30 couple. Totally realistic!

I’d throw an intergalactic fit.
My wife may not care. |

Significant other? Elated.
Spouse? Furious. Totally different questions to me. |

I bought my wife a car but we both knew she wanted one, she dropped super obvo hints at what she wanted and really it was an easy year to figure out.
I paid cash because **** paying for one gift for years. |

My dad bought a car for my mom in 1976 for her birthday. He had some logic about her being pregnant and couldn't buy her clothes. But she was driving a 1964 vintage at the time, so it was going to happen in the near future anyway. She was a little skeptical about it, but that was her nature on anything.
At a certain stage of life Christmas presents become problematic. We don't need much that we don't already have. If either of us want something below some mutually understood threshold, we buy it. My wife can't wear metal jewelry and is really picky about clothes. A car could be a wow gift. I could pull it off. My wife could probably buy a car that I would love, by spending more than I would typically spend. |

Plus, it's obvious to any married person (and probably anyone) that this was a power play. She got some small his and hers Christmas gifts that was probably meant from the heart, and he went all megalomaniac with two vehicles. For a normal couple, that would make the wife feel terribly inadequate. I have a feeling that he probably abuses her. But then she sees the two vehicles and immediately stakes a claim on one. So that tells me that she's a selfish person as well, so over the course of this commercial we learn that these are two very screwed up and dysfunctional people that I don't really want to know. Are these people going to help you move with their new pickup and SUV? No way. You can't rely on them. She's going to lie about visiting a sick parent in the hospital and you'll see her at the mall later, and he's going to be drunk at a bar. He'll drive home drunk, nearly hitting a small girl on a bicycle, and then he'll beat her when he finds out what she spent at the mall. I really don't like these people.

If she or her ex-husband is paying for it, I'm good.

I like that GMC 'One for you, one for me' commercial, mainly because I think the actress, Morgan Matthews, is strikingly pretty and fun to watch. She's a Nebraskan, by the way. it is cute to me that her character wants the truck. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5796482/
I think the guy's reaction is funny and relatable, too. If you do something crazy, like buy two big, beautiful vehicles for your wife and you as Christmas presents, you better be able to go with the possibility she is going to want the vehicle you thought would be yours. Sure, it is a silly commercial, but it entertains me. i hope Morgan Matthews scores some good roles in Hollywood. Last edited by DanT; 12-29-2018 at 07:28 AM.. |

FFS people, grow up. Mercedes has been doing these stupid-****ing-car-is-a-Xmas-gift commercials for years and all the made-up characters have Uber money.
