You made a mistake i learned a long time ago. Get the wife her new car first and then its open game on what you get yourself. If you go first it never ends well... Nice ride and color. Enjoy it!!
Exactly right. This is how I finally got my Shelby. It only cost me one slightly used Mercedes.. Happy life!

From my Experience: At the end-of-life journey, one finds out the most important thing in life was their Family "which includes your wife" and hopefully you both live to a ripe old age before one of you passes first. Never forget your priorities in life. But there's nothing which says you cannot bribe your wife to get a GT someday LOL. Nice car, Enjoy

😂 People are hysterical. Congrats!!! Just a few short years ago, 300+ HP was absolutely V8 territory.. I think my 4.6L had 260…
But, I still think it was one of the best sounding small V8’s ever.
Enjoy!
Yea the 3v do sound good, sound real strong. The coyote will sound like an import if your not careful

Maybe the OP and wife have a budget they need to stick with, if so great.
But when someone says the wife won't let me allways makes me laugh that's all.

Anyway congrats on the new car.

Congrats!
Fun car. Looks great. You get a lot for your hard earned dollar with an Ecoboost. Most of the F-150’s run an EB and no one blinks. Got 250k miles out of my 2011 Lariat and then I sold it.
Think about an exhaust for your first mod.
Remove the resonator and add some free flow mufflers. MBRP does a great job with sound and value and it will boost performance a bit.

I hear you on that. I'm not telling people what to do or what not to do its just for me, I see OPs point. But for people like me, marriage meant, two people living together for life sharing/pooling our money together, both deciding on what our money was spent on and what our money was not spent on which met our priorities. I have seen such a high percentage of marriages failed where they didn't set priorities and unfortunately their marriages failed, not all though. For me, my wife never complained about money, or what I spent our money on, or how much money I was saving etc, she never checked our bank checking/savings accounts or the money I was investing in our IRAs, Annuities, CDs etc during our 35 years of marriage, which I know now, Was Not, Is Not typical for a spouse these days. I always put my family/wife first and when I had extra money to spend on toys, crazy shit etc, I spent it. But for me, my family/marriage always came first. I am not advocating for people spending or not spending the money they have earned. So, what OP said does not surprise me at all, not the least. Live Long and Prosper as one Wise man once said.

Looks nice! My wife didn't care what I got and I got an Ecoboost as well, and I love it. Hope you enjoy yours just as much!
