Seriously, I think the gift is pretty enormous and asking for a different color is a lot out of line! I mean I'd have been blown away if I got that huge a present after only 6 months! And to nitpick over the color on that huge a gift... well...eef... not likely! I'd probably have been incredibly grateful and amazed and wondered out loud what the heck my bf would do to top that one on our anniversary! I surely wouldn't have griped about the color! I guess you've already made up your mind, but if it's any consolation, I agree with those who say- look into your heart and see if you really feel she's just in it for the 'things and money' and not the love and committment. LadyZ's right about one thing for sure- you said she wanted a red convertible and you thought about a gift and remembered that and bought her one. It was incredibly thoughtful and sweet of you! If the gf is complaining about that then you have to wonder what that's all about. Doesn't sound promising. I think you deserve better, to be honest. But I don't really know your gf, so it's hard to say if dumping her is the right thing to do...still, that's the initial reaction I have from reading your post!

Animal, I envy you. You've just given away more car than I've ever had...or probably ever will. Still, given what it would have cost you in the long run, I have to say that you made the right move.
PS- If you see some older model minivans or SUVs with car seats on the road, try not to laugh.
