Re: Buying a car as a present
[ QUOTE ]
I'm not sure I'd want to get a car as a present in that manner. I'd really prefer to shop for it myself.

That's what I was going to say.
Also, if you're going to get a new car next year anyway, without a special occasion like Christmas, and since you're probably going to be making payments on it that will probably come from the household income, isn't your wife going to think it's a pretty lame Christmas gift?
What I mean is, for this to work, either you have to pay for it outright or she's the kind of wife who lets you take care of all the finances and doesn't have or want a say in the matter and isn't going to resent you come next year when the car payents mean she can't have that new XYZ - the things she really wanted for this Christmas.
