Nice gift! She was very happy with it! I gave my gal a car, well several, but this was the only one I took a video of. Its no Porsche, and she was dressed up for a halloween party, but the results were great just the same!

PS....I put in a garage door opener right after this...

Good man, you did it right. My wife is not a car person- impossible to buy her anything decent. She is low maintenance.

Pretty wife and really handsome Porsche. 👍

Wife and I make all our major purchases jointly and without emotion (for the most part)....and she would rather have a nice vacation for a 1/10th of what an exotic car costs.

My wife was pissed when I bought mine. Then she rode in it. Now she doesn't want to drive anything else.

Years ago my boss bought his wife one of those silly little Mercedes SUV's. Not the POS G wagon. The other one. I have to admit, it had the most comfortable seats and ride I'd experienced in a long time. She had a Volvo previously, and this was night and day. It ended up giving them pretty good service. The fuel filter had to be replaced and that was $600, stuff like that.
Once you get 'spoiled' by better comforts, it's hard to go back. One reason I haven't been camping out of my '83 Hi Lux for over 20 years.

The Yadmobile is still quiet and tight. Like a new car. Impressive. New Year's Bonus? A Yadkin Video! Oh HELL yes.

That's a heck of a gift. What are the specs? I see the 18 ways.
