Since she already brought it up, perhaps it would be fair to start out with, "Remember how you metioned that I should get something, too? Well, I've found something I'd really like to have...." Then explain, like you did to us, how you've had your eyes on this car for a long time and how it is completely original. And make sure she understands how important and hard to find that makes it. Then involve her in the purchasing process: Invite her to go look at it with you. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
