I can understand her being a little upset at your not even asking her
opinion before making the purchase though, but in my opinion at the end
of the day the choice is your own, as long as there isn't a financial
problem being caused by the purchase that would affect the both of you.
>From what I read it isn't that she's upset that you might go too fast
and kill yourself or that the car's too fast for you or anything like
that. It's simply that she doesn't like it and would prefer something
else.
In my opinion that's selfish. But that's just me :)

Actually, this one is chip modded to 305 HP. It's a screaming ball of
fire.
P.S. It's going back to the dealership tomorrow. I spoke with the
most irate fiancee I've ever seen. The old thing about Hell hath no
fury like a woman scorned is absolutely true.
