Speaking of wives buying cars, in 1986 my wife went to a local GM dealer and looked at a 1979 GMC full sized Jimmy. By luck of the draw, she dealt with an "old school" salesman left over from the days when, if a woman began looking at cars you patted her on the head and told her to come back with her husband.

My wife replied, "You didn't understand me. I said I'd give you $5300". Before she left, she bought it for $5300.
