My other half doesn't know that I'm in the process of buying a Viper but she'll tickled pink when I surprise her by picking her up in it for the first time! Well, at least I hope she is...

shared desire; then didnt say that i had a deposit put on it; spent two weeks weighing up pros & cons and then we both agreed to buy it..well i had already bought it. Low high risk policy if you see what i mean.

Trade the kids in against the Viper. Then you can spend all your money and time with the Viper.

tell her who wear's the trousers ,then go and spend all your hard earned on what your heart desires, you may never have sex again but ,driving a viper is far better than sex anyway and lasts longer. or she might actually like it .you never know????

My line has always been "If I don't have cars in my life to love and cherish then I'll only go and find something else to centre my affection on"......always works.

I've had mine for eight years and I'm not even sure if the wife knows that I've still got.

But when she remembers I'll just say I've got it for the childrens sake....they like it and want it when I'm past it.

My wife didn't know what a Viper was when I bought my 93 RT/10 4 years ago. But having seen it and then had a drive in it she's loves the attention it gets and is almost as big a Viper bore as me now!

Being a real two seater it means that you have to leave the kids behind. Forget the child seat - can't think of any better reason to get out on your own!

Viper + wife + 2 kids = chav mobile not a Viper.

You cannot do the maths however you dress it up and your bargaining position will be seriously undermined once your wife spots the obvious flaw.

Best bet is to start coming home late, get friends to text your phone with suggestive messages, get them to call home and hang up when she answers and start being really creepy by buying her flowers and chocs for a couple of weeks. She will think you are having an affair and will be hugely relieved that it is ONLY a car and not another woman you are lusting after! Sorted.

Buy the Viper and get a babysitter then take the wife out for dinner and assuming she isn't bashful or easily scared then you should be okay.

By the way buying a Viper will guarantee that your kids will not be bullied at school as every other boy from 3 to 90 will want to be their friend.
You will be the coolest dad on the school run.
You will have a problem when the 2nd one reaches school age as you will need to do 2 runs which is even more environmentally damaging than a 4x4.
