When you said earlier today that you were considering buying your wife a car (Beamer?), you reminded me of this one:

A woman, reminding her husband of their anniversary, announced to him that she wanted something in the driveway the next morning that would go from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds and that it better be there!

The next morning she got up, saw a nicely wrapped package in the driveway, and went out to see what it was. When she opened it, she found a bathroom scale.

Her husband has not been seen since last Friday.
