| When i was a kid my dad used to sneak every new shotgun and rifle he bought into the house. He would wait til my mom wasn't around and then come find me and call me down to the basement to show off his newest double or high grade rifle and always finished with "but don't tell your mom." One day he was at work and my mom said to me very matter of fact, "your dad got a new shotgun yesterday." I tried to act surprised and said, " oh?" And then she said something I'll never forget, "I don't know why he keeps sneaking them into the house. He works so hard and he's always careful with our finances. If he wants a new shotgun, well good for him."
I guess my point is that sometimes we need to give our spouses a little more credit for being understanding. I've learned to be very honest with my wife and she has almost always taken the same line my mom had... "well you work hard and you know if we can do this, so go ahead."
Good luck breaking the news...and enjoy that sweet new ride.
