I'm like the rest, i.e., you got her a CAR?! And she's not even your wife, just your girlfriend? Wow that in and of itself is BIG, it is incomprehensible to me that anyone would actually gripe about it in any way! O.M.G.
OK, on the flipside, ignoring the expense of the gift, I'd still say the same thing. It is totally crap for anyone to complain about a gift given to them. I mean, I can see like if maybe hubby made NO effort or something, bought you socks from the grocery store LOL. But anyone who takes the time out to think of a nice gift for someone else should be appreciated, whether you actually like the gift or not. And the color is something so petty to gripe about, along with those who gripe because it isn't the right "brand name." In my life I've been given many gifts from family that I did not like, heck some I hated, but I always accepted them with grace and thanks, and appreciated the time and effort put toward me to get me a gift, even if they may have been misguided as to my tastes. I've even gone so far as to wear clothing that I received from family and did not like when visiting said family at another time, just to make the person who bought it feel nice. I dunno, I'm just always very appreciative when people do things for me, and I think that is the way it should be with everyone.
I'll refrain from saying anymore, less I get catty re your girlfriend LOL.
