By now, she should be aware that she married an auto enthusiast.
She must not be a member of CL either (or follow the postings), as, by now, I'm sure we would have heard from her on the number of topics in your family we've discussed.

Oh she knows I'm an enthusiast, but the fact that I would choose a car for her and buy it with no input from her would not go over lol. If it was a car I knew she had decided she wanted and was exactly what she wanted that would be different.
The point would be, what I would buy and choose would be what I wanted, not what she wanted.
When I was a kid my Dad forced my Mom into a car, and it did not go well lol. She had an old Aerostar van and wanted another minivan and he wanted an Explorer (this is 1995 when SUVs were becoming really cool). He took the van one day and traded it in on a beautiful new Explorer Limited without her knowing. That was BAD lol. I lucked out because when I turned 16 I got that Explorer and she went out on her own and bought herself exactly what she wanted with no input from him.
I remember him getting in the Aerostar and saying "I'm just going to go get it washed" and it never came home lol
He was a car enthusiast too LOL. Anytime he wanted to drive that Explorer though it was hell. to. pay.
