Thanks ya'll. yep it's got a hemi :). 8 speed manual paddle shifting with rev matching downshifts. So glad I waited for the 2015. The older models only had 5 or 6 speeds :)

Life is gonna be living hell for a while. This may be insurmountable. Dunno. First time I've ever went against her wishes.

Did I mention that it cost less than my Honda Pilot too?

Man I have an affinity for white American sports cars (got one myself) so I totally understand. There just comes a point in your life you gotta make some dreams come true. Thankfully my husband understood this and since I'm paying for it myself there was no friction lol.

That's a beautiful ride. Enjoy it! Take her out for a ride once she calms down...maybe she'll see the light :)

Take care buddy :)

Ouch for your wife haha :) Congrats on the new car though, looks fun to drive. You might be doing your vlog every 2 weeks in the car when you go to the store :p
I remember my dad did that to my mom. Except instead of a car it was a huge motorhome haha. It took 2 days of no talking and a trip to the casino to get her to start talking again

Amazing car, Russ. You've got cajones, mi amigo....that's for sure.

I hope you enjoy it very much. Enjoy the raw power, but also stay on the road and be safe. I am really happy for you.

(Geez, and I was all excited to finish my plywood vape stand today. Pales in comparison........)

I could live with the silent treatment, but the lack of food would get to me after about a week.

The car looks great, so why does the Mrs hate it? When i was a younger Trunker and rode high performance sports motorbikes, HRH hated those, because she was frightened of being widowed.

[Now, of course, she has access to my money and has taken my car to go and spend some of it. They learn fast!]

Gorgeous car. I'll bet your kids love it! Tell her it's you reward to yourself for working so hard (and succeeding!!!) on the GAD.

Then.......go buy her something frivolous and expensive.
