I do know a number of people who were given cars as gifts, but it wasn't ever a surprise.

I could totally execute that kind of surprise, but doubt I could ever justify the financial part of it. Actually, if I could find and afford it, I could see picking up the SO's dream car…. Truthfully, I would be peeved as all get out if someone else did it to me.

One, I'm really picky about expensive things, so being surprised by a new car I didn't pick isn't my idea of a *good* surprise. Two, I'd resolved not have a new car + new car insurance (!!) ever again if I have any say in the matter.

I got my 19 year old 240SX for my 21st birthday this year. Then again, it was a joint decision with my husband to get her… And he just called it my present after he started helping me mod her. For his 24th birthday later in the year, I got him new wheels for his car.

For this Christmas, we agreed to not spend money on each other because we pooled together and bought my baby her new engine. I'll still get hubby something small to wrap and put under the tree so he can open it on Christmas, but it won't be a whole lot.

She's no "Lexus," but she'll run circles around most when I'm done… (Besides, the only Toyota that I want is 23 years old. I sure wouldn't mind one for Christmas someday, though!)

Then again, we're car people…. It's what we're into and just what we do.

Bobby has it right. My first thought would be…"okay, what is he preparing to tell me???" LOL
Would I like it?? Heck yah…..and he could work all the overtime to pay for it.

ROTFLMAO at the comments between Donna & Abby! I also know a girl who got a car for her 16th birthday (a used one). And my mother gave me $3,000 for my 30th birthday, which I used as a down payment on a one year old Buick Century but neither my first hubby or my current one has ever considered buying me a car as a gift. The only way I'd buy a car for a family member is if I won the lottery. Even then, it would be "What kind of car do you want?" rather than "Surprise!".
