The wife is already starting to push my buttons. My truck pays off in November and we came to an agreement that we will not buy anything that involves payments. At least for a while. I want to puts some money in the bank, fix up the '76 and maybe pick up a couple of quads.
Well, when I got home last night she tells me she went by the Ford dealer today and looked at a couple new Mustangs. I almost lost it. They only had two and they where v6 models. The sales guy tells her they don't get v8's just to put on the floor because they don't sell. That didn't stop her from asking for what she was after. She tells him she wants a v8 with a stick. It has to be black on black with black wheels and the glass top. First off he tells her it would definitely have to be ordered because they don't put black cars on the lot because they can't keep them clean here in the desert. After that he goes to the computer and lays it on her, "Your looking at around $50,000". Talk about sticker shock, she was not ready for that.
So it looks like I'm safe for now. When the time comes to buy something I told her that I sure in the hell am not going to be paying sticker price. I know for a fact that the price can come way down on any new car, and they still make money.
