Bro, u need to ensure your wife you don't drive like a faggot or an idiot. I was some what like you last time but as I grew older with kids, my wife thought that I am not that ricey anymore. So we agreed to buy a high performance car and now, I even have 2. It's not about buying her expensive gift, it's about ensuring her that you're mature enough to handle the the car and not showing off to bystanders.
