sure, just buy her a bauble or two and sweet talk her.

and NEVER add up the total spent on the car and NEVER let her know what it really costs ...my wife now matches my expenses on toy cars 1:1, so 4 tires at $100 each costs me $800. what i spend on my cars she wants to spend on her !!! hmmmmm....modern-wife-math is what i call it !! and never tell her $50 when it cost $100 as then she will double anything you tell her once she finds out..and they have that mysterious ability to do so.

hey, you will lose more buying a new caddy cheby or whatever car today in one yr if traded in 12 mos later than you will lose on one of these in 3-5 yrs, barring any major engine or trans rebuilds. it is a hobby, not an investment...then again, compared to enron you are dollars ahead if money was into the cobra instead of their stock....

good luck...b
