Yeah, I've never met anyone who bought a car for their spouse for Christmas. Their kid, sure but never their spouse

Maybe that's the thing. If you're buying something expensive for someone who can't afford it, that's great. But if you're buying it for your spouse, presumably he/she can afford it because he/she is actually going to be paying for it.

Or maybe it's simply the fact that they're paying for it at all.

I would hope the dealer has one hell of a return policy.

If I was doing this, I think I'd immediately hand my spouse a piece of paper that declares the vehicle in the driveway to be a mere prop, and that we'll go together to pick out the actual vehicle. That could work. But even then, it seems weird. My wife and I jointly make decisions about any purchase of five digits or more. By definition in my household, a vehicle wouldn't be a gift.

Some spouses seem to have no problem going out and racking up a huge payment for their own vehicle.

My wife says that maybe those spouses know them better than your wife does you.
This is payback for the other thing.

Maybe the car's not the gift. Maybe the wife has stationed her best friend in the back seat as the big surprise.

Another problem is those giant, red, car-sized bows. Those damn things cost about $50 bucks a pop. Unless you drive super slow, by the time you get home, the bow part is half-flapped to hell and gone. Also, when you stop at a red light, people stare at you like you stole somebody's gifted car out of their driveway. And sometimes you can see them thinking, "That poor bastard can't afford his own car so somebody had to give him one and he forgot to remove the ribbon." It's humiliating.

I wonder if they drive them like that. Maybe they come in a big box via UPS, and the back yard is full of discarded cardboard and packing tape.

I like the one where the new vehicle is shown sitting in about six inches of snow, although there is no snow on the vehicle, no tire tracks behind the vehicle, and no footprints leading away from the vehicle.

Apparently the folks at Mercedes have mastered Star Trek transporter technology. I wonder why they're still selling cars?

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.
