Ok gurus bought my wife the sl65 amg. But she doesn't know I bought and she keeps wanting to go look at cars. It's being shipped here next week. How should I surprise her. Have it in the garage when she leaves one morn. Have it a work when she leaves? Trying to find some fun way to do it. Ideas?

I think having it in the garage when she gets home from work would be cool! So when she opens the door and it is sitting in her parking spot and facing her in the garage!

No, no. Have it delivered to where she works, so the girlfriends get to see just how much her husband loves her. More bang for the buck. Same deal with flowers and jewelry, it's all about the girlfriends. Only took me about forty years to learn that.

It's hard to disagree with 40 years of education. Richard has it right.

Hi Marc,
Everybody is different. I would want to be there when she discovers her new car...Another plan would be to take her out to dinner at a nice restaurant where you have already had the parking valet park the new SL. Drive your current car to dinner (Or take a Taxi) Arrange for the Valet to bring the new SL around when you leave.

Whichever way you use, please post a pic of her reaction! Should be really nice.

Arrange to have someone take her car while she is at work. Then when she calls you telling you it was stolen go pick her up in the shinny new surprise. Hope she has a sence of humor.

Doug a woman's sense of humor depends on the day.. Lol I'm loving the ideas. She is a teacher, I'm thinking of taking her lunch and having a package delivered while I'm there with the keys. Or steal her car during the day and replacing it with the new car . And parking around the corner and wait. For her surprise..
