It is a sharp looking car. Some after market wheels would really set it off! What year? 18? 19? Whatever you spend on your car, make sure to give the same amount to your wife. This has been a very good tactic for me No complaining LOL.

Exactly! Imagine the look on your wife's face! Priceless!
I'll never forget the day I came home with my first Porsche (used). My wife was speechless! I had not planned on buying it and it was a total spur of the moment

I can believe you've been driving the car that much! New car syndrome is the best!!
