No comment on that divorce suggestion (who would of thought that would come from a friendly Canadian? ;))

Infinite Blue was the surprise for me, neither one of us like blue cars normally, but the amount of gray there is really nice. My 10 year old was the decider on red, always red cars with him, but really when your first car was a red mustang you don't have much of a choice- sentimentality after all.

As we have never paid this much for a car we opted for both AWD (power) and ER- might as well go all in. Yea, probably should have done FE for the matched wheel lips, but all I saw was the red calipers I could do myself.

Any more photos from the plant?

I wanted Rapid Red (most of the time I pick red) but she wanted a different color. I choose to fight other battles I could win and we ended up ordering Infinite Blue Metallic. I did get AWD but she balked at the price addition for the ER battery so reluctantly we have the SR one. She's not furious with me now for ordering the car.

It's so funny.....there are so many wives that are saying hell no to the Grabber Blue.
that's part of why I ended up with Rapid Red. gf acceptance is important although if you ask her, she'd insist it's my car and it's up to me. I know better. ?

I didnt tell my wife I ordered the car. I wanted the Grabber Blue but it wasnt available so I chose the infinite blue with the light grey interior. A couple of weeks later (without telling her i ordered the car) I showed her the colors. She chose infinite blue with the light grey interior. She still doesnt know i ordered the car.

Are you planning on saying something before you arrive home in it? Or waiting a few months and just keep saying you are test driving it? Or maybe just never acknowledge it's existence?

My wife specifically wanted the Grabber Blue. Part of it is that is the one we sat in at the LA Auto Show. But she is a bright and cheery person and loves colorful everything. She only liked the Rapid Red or Grabber Blue, but heavily favored blue. That's good for me because that was my preference too.

I feel like i want to put the order paper under the christmas tree but I feel it would suck if for any reason including financial that i wouldnt take possession of the car. So i am kind of torn on this one.

Dude, I don't spend $500 without telling the wife first. She'd kill me if I ordered a car without telling her.
