Help! My wife is holding my Maverick order hostage!

[Old Ranchero]

Just wait for the 'Second Edition'....

or SE, Special Edition. Will likely be dressed up with special paint, the hood scoop, decals, wheels, etc.

Ok, apparently subtle humor doesn't work with a vocal portion of this crowd. Like Spook, we've been married for several decades, and part of our success comes from agreeing right from the start that when making big purchases (house, cars, etc.) we both have some input. Starting with that approach, we've each always gotten what we wanted. That's just us, and it works for us. You do you, and whatever works for you.

Meanwhile... still looking for that RR hybrid FE trade...

In this case, the SE color will be Testicular Blue.

My wife will only trade in her existing car

This might be why she has so much leverage here. OP, please provide more details on your current vehicle situation.

 

[TacoHolder]

Incorrect. Red is always the best color.

Blue > red

Bottom line is I want a new Maverick in the garage, AND I want a new 3-pedal car for myself, but to get there I need to first convince her that SHE wants the Maverick, even though she loves her current car. The end point is me getting what I want, but it's a 2-step process to get there.

LMFAO. You created this "problem" on your own out of selfishness. She's not holding your Mav order hostage. You're the one doing it to her car. You deserve no sympathy.

You, apparently:

Do things like this actually happen?

Things like what? The wife making an irrational ultimatum over color? Yes, it happens all the time. All this means is that in the end, the wife is buying a green RAV4.

WAY BACK WHEN lol when I was in the ordering process the wife really liked Alto Blue, I said I really liked Hot Pepper Red. She said, oh well its your truck, pick whatever color you want. And so, Hot Pepper Red it is. Happy Hubby, Happy life.

LOL I would have preferred cyber but wife didn't want to spend too much extra money on top of what we were paying to get dual climate control....

But the funniest part is usually she worries about money. I was planning on buying a beater car to commute in this year. But 2 min into explaining the hybrid truck with 40mpg she says, "BUY IT!"

Lol. Husband of 48 years decided to replace his Prius C with a small truck in 2021. Wife (me) said, "Sounds good. Buy whatever you want. If you want me to drive it when you do your 600 mile cycle trips, my only requirements are that it be red (Go Wolfpack!) and have a magic start button."

And here we are. He's ordered a rapid red hybrid FE and a hot pepper red hybrid lariat, and he'll decide which one when they show up. Then in 3 years, I'll replace my Prius and get whatever the hell I'm willing to pay for. #Marriage.

Well, if you should decide you don't want the RR FE hybrid, please keep my marriage in mind . Do you have build dates yet?

The Lariat has been built and shipped. Estimated delivery next week. The FE went into production a couple of weeks ago, and the estimated delivery is the week of Jan 22nd. I feel fairly certain he's going to buy the FE.
