[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 456910, member: 4264"] LMAO Well I did tell him it's basically "on tap" for the 3 years of payments HAHAHAHA! (Sorry for those who are going EWWW too much information!) ;) I agree some big gesture in return minimizes this gift and knowing my S/O, he wouldn't enjoy at all. I think dinner is a great idea. Perhaps I will pick a restaurant a bit out of town so we can take a nice drive where he can see me all excited driving us to go eat. Someplace with candle light tables even if it's not a "fancy" place. I think a little dinner celebration type thing would be just the ticket. We have restaurants in our province where you pay a fee to bring your own wine. Perhaps I'll bring along a non alcoholic wine for us to sip with dinner. As for color, they had every color on the lot (just not my model and interior etc). Once seeing them up close, I shocked myself by choosing black! I had decided on titanium silver or the dark cherry and felt firm between the two.
