Mopar, my wife has a tendancy to block out anything I say if it begins with "it will be a good investment". We bought a 27 foot SeaRay and at the time it was a good deal and great for the fun factor. However, with almost $6 gas and a thirsty 454 pushing it, that fun investment went out the window. I tried with the Challenger and got the eyes rolling look so I just bagged the excuses and told her "its my last hotrod and I need it". That seemed to work as she didnt balk at the price tag on my 09. She did however seriously turn down the add on for the midlife crisis car..the blonde bimbo with the big hair and big boobs.
