Speaking of wives buying cars, in 1986 my wife went to a local GM dealer and looked at a 1979 GMC full sized Jimmy. By luck of the draw, she dealt with an "old school" salesman left over from the days when, if a woman began looking at cars you patted her on the head and told her to come back with her husband. She blew him out of the water. One of her brothers was along strictly for the ride, and he told me later he couldn't hardly stand to watch.

My wife replied, "You didn't understand me. I said I'd give you $5300". Before she left, she bought it for $5300.
