I bought my wife a new car for Christmas and I'm struggling on how to give it to her. I have to give it to her early due to us going out of town for Christmas and we are going to take her new car. Any ideas on how to surprise her with it to get the best reaction.

Ideas please.

copy one of the lexus commercials

or....park it in the garage and ask her at night to go grab something from the garage and have a bow on it.


or you could hang the keys on the tree like an ornament and have her do a hunt for them.

12/21/2007 9:25:12 AM

Watch those lexus commercials, got some pretty good ideas on there

12/21/2007 9:25:50 AM

12/21/2007 9:26:13 AM

I assume you saw Out Cold?


where they take the passed out guy, have him behind the wheel on an icy road, and a car full of people, people out side the car spin the car to where it's just rotating on the ice, then all of the people in the car start screaming at once, the passed out dude wakes up and flips his shit thinking he's driving the car and spinning out?

HILARITY

Dangle the keys in her face when she tells you that you're trying to stick it in the wrong hole

12/21/2007 9:42:10 AM

hahahah that isn't what i was thinking of but yes that is awesome.


i'm gonna have to dig that out and watch that this weekend

Wrap up the payment book & give it to her early.

Seriously, I like the garage idea just because she won't be expecting anything and then BAM! If you give her the keys first there will be that moment of apprehension where she's wondering if she will hate it and have to pretend for the next ten years or so. [j/k]

12/21/2007 10:27:54 AM

as long as you aren't buying her a 2002 camry or something shitty like that.



but yeah, you could wrap of the manual and have it fully stocked with her registration, insurance card, maybe a gift card to 10 free car washes or a year of roadside assistance or something like that. Then make her search (read: fuck) for the keys

12/21/2007 10:33:55 AM

Yeah I know someone who gave his wife a car for Christmas. So on Christmas Eve he said he had to go out and run an errand and he wanted to take her car because his was low on gas and he didn't feel like having to stop to get gas. So he took her car to the dealer, and he had the keys to the new car already so he took the new car home and parked it in the garage in her spot. And since they had already gone to church that evening no one was going to go into the garage until the next day.

So the next day comes around and he tells one of his kids while they are all together opening presents to run to the garage and get the camera out of mom's car.
So they hear the kid running in there and the door opens then you don't hear anything for a while...then the kid came walking back in the living room and he was like "I think mommy should go find the camera"
So of course she is like WTF is going on blah blah blah...goes to the garage and bam....then one thing leads to another and bam...they have a 3rd kid!

Do it like at the beginning of Saw 2 where they put the key behind her eye so she has to choose between not having the car or having the car, but having to gouge her eye out to be able to drive it

12/21/2007 10:37:04 AM

i never quite understood buying your partner a car. i think i would be pretty pissed at the person for not discussing such a huge financial decision with me first.

12/21/2007 10:51:20 AM

^^bwahaha

but then her depth perception would be off on account of the one eye and her driving skills wou...nevermind, she's a woman

so what kinda car is it?

12/21/2007 11:06:04 AM

^^i heard that shortly after stuart scott lost his eyeball, he was seen driving around in a new car. i wonder if thats what happened.

12/21/2007 11:08:52 AM

great thread. Especially kid number 3, i think i would kinda be pissed about that if it were me

The keys on the tree is super, i like it. You could also ask her to help you pack the car for the trip and .... new car. OR you could take her to a parking lot somewhere (or just leave the car at the dealer) and give her the keys and make her find the car via the panic button .

12/21/2007 11:09:02 AM

Will you have the car at the time of giving it or not?

When I bought my wife a new car for her birthday it was still at the dealership until she could sign the paperwork. I told her I was going to detail her car for her birthday and got all the stuff out of it while she was at work. Then I went to her favorite jewelry store and got an empty box. I had a set of the keys from the dealership with me to the new car. So I put the keys in the jewelry box and gave it to her. At first she thought jewelry, then she opened it and saw keys... we hopped in the old ride and went down where the new car was sitting in the showroom with a bow on it. We signed the paperwork (it was already completed and everything was ready to go), threw the salesman the keys and drove off. She still talks about it....

wrap the keys in an appropriate sized box

12/21/2007 11:39:31 AM

You could get drunk and throw up all over the keys. Then when she is cleaning up the vomit she'll find the keys and be like "OMG!!!!"

12/21/2007 11:39:35 AM

lol

12/21/2007 11:40:13 AM

do it like Tony Soprano did with the Cayenne Turbo S for his wife.

12/21/2007 11:41:37 AM

SEND THAT BITCH A SMILEY FACE.

BITCHES LOVE SMILEY FACES.

I think most the time when people buy cars, they have been talking about getting a car before anyway.

12/21/2007 12:14:16 PM

awwww i know all the guys hate this, but this is cute. do a lexus commercial!!

12/21/2007 12:32:45 PM

We have two kids and her current car didn't have enough room. We are thinking of having a third soon and we've talked about getting the minivan. So, I bought her a 2007 Honda Odyssey EX-L, fully loaded. It's a nice ride. I think I might drive it more than her. Now she's truly a soccer mom.

12/21/2007 12:37:20 PM

well that's a good call then

post back with results

12/21/2007 12:41:53 PM

the 2 conditions under which i will ever buy a car for a woman:

1 - it will be a "cash" transaction, mainly because i think its dumb to have a x-mas present payment for 3 or 5 years (or even better, 6!). plus its all about taking the price tag off. also, she's gonna be writing the checks for my bills, and see #2

2 - the recipient of the vehicle will have been with me for at least 10 years, because girls are crazy and this idea is a kick yourself in the ass waiting to happen.. and i have decided that it would probably take about that long to fully trust someone with my checkbook. so i'll make that the same amount of time before i buy them a 40 thousand dollar present or whatnot

12/21/2007 12:42:20 PM

you so crazy

12/21/2007 12:55:09 PM

honda van's are pimp.

Sad that you have to go through all this trouble just to have relations with your wife these days.
