White will be tough to find as I too have been looking. What would happen if you bought her a lesser car in white and donated the difference to her favorite charity for the less fortunate .... would she actually consider leaving you?

A wise man would call her bluff on "true love" .... Offer her a new white convertible Ford Mustang.

Let her walk if she becomes upset about it (assuming you've both done your part to help save the world by not having any kids yet).

You'll be better off in the long run (always try to think with your head and not your hormones)
