Dumb Move?

[ScrapeApe]

Today I made a deal on a new Acura TL for my bride. Not trying to gloat, but she is the one that "permitted" me to lay out green for an 06A. Since I have had my new FJR, I hardly ever drive my Silverado SS. So today I made a deal to trade my SS for a TL. I will "inherit" her Pathfinder after I pick up her new ride when I get back from the USGP (Indy). She has no idea what I have done. But my year old SS sat (unless it rained severely) while she pimped a 4 year old Pathfinder, while I was twistin the Blue Genie. She was (is) okay with her Nissan, but I wanted to do something nice for her. Whaddya think??

TL is sweet. Good move, I'd say. Guaranteed honey for the ole stinger!

I love my TL and am getting ready to get a new one. Good move. You are piling up some serious bonus points.

you don't mention whether or not she's interested in a TL. so hope you did good! i know if a man bought me a new TL, well he wouldn't be leavin the house for awhile!!

Should have bought her a Mercedes SLK 350 or BMW Z4. Every woman deserves a 2 seater convertible sometime in their life.

scrapeape, I'm cheap. I bought my new bride a new Honda Civic---the fancy sporty one(if you can imagine such a thing).Gets near 40mpg tho(as I said,I'm cheap). She won't let me smoke in it. I thank gawd for my old pickup.It's got nicotine stalactites hangin from the ceiling. She did quit bitchin about the ashtray on my weight bench and bicycle tho.

I Have a 2001 TL as well as a 2001 Maxima. The TL is a much better car. I have driven the newer ones and they are sweet.

Good move!

Smart move on the TL.

Dumb move on going to Indy, Sorry but; I hope your the only one who shows up!

Great move and you're a good man.

BUT, remember, in the women's book of "Good Deeds," you get 1 point for a 50cent card and you get 1 point for a $30k car. A mystery to me, but that's the way it is!

That said, nice thing to do.

Good move, but you make the rest of us look bad. But, you don't live with us.

I have an '04 TL and absolutely love it. I'm sure she will, too. I normally get the new car itch after 2 years, but, I'm nearing the 2 year mark with this and have no desire to look at anything else.
