Well, she got over it last night. I dropped off the Lightning this morning at 8 am and picked up the S4.

I promised her that I would not let anyone sit in it or ride in it until I pick her up. She bought it and was happy with that, like Dr. jeckle and mr. hyde or something....still can not figure her out.

Thanks for all the advice and insight all of you offered.

I will post some pics tomorrow.

Don't know how long you been going out with your girlfriend but only you would know, if she is always showing the Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde symptoms and you can't figure her out by now and you plan on marrying this girl....look out, I learned from experience from my first wife who was exactly like this, one minute she could be an angel and the next minute she is a monster and argue, argue, argue and very very jealous.......if your girlfriend is anything like this beware, your life could become miserable real fast. Just a brotherly advice, maybe I'm totally wrong about her but as I said you'll have to make the call because you are the only one who really knows her, good luck.

Sincerely..Bert

Anyway, if you love this girl and do plan on getting married let her be involved with the car buying, picking up or whatever because this is huge to her. Put the shoe on the other foot, would you want her going out and purchasing a huge 10 karat diamond ring and come home and say ”Look honey what I bought today”


Good advice! Couldn't have said it better myself.
Been married to my wife 30 years. "It's a partnership" include her in everything. You will have a much happier marriage.

Congrats on the new vehicle Halflife! I hope you and your 'Ole Lady enjoy it.
I keep my wife involved with every little decision that goes on mostly out of respect. There's even an occasion that there's something I've overlooked and she's picked up on. We are partners, it works for us... Probably not everyone.
I do sometimes catch alot of schitt from friends about not being a man... But then I remind them that I'm over 6 ft 8 in, 300 lbs, and just plain old hate people...

On the subject of the dealer driving your Audi instead of transporting it, I had the same exact problem with my 04 Lightning this past August... Except they would not give me my deposit back. I had threatened to "untie my wife and let her come down to handle the situation." I got a few grand knocked off the price at that point.
I love the truck, and my girl!

Did you consider keeping the L and maybe gettin' a not so abused Jeep for the winter? That's my goal.
Anyhow, Congrats again and Lots a Luck!
