I've been tricked!

So my wife sold me on the story that she would have to wait until I got back from my deployment to buy my 8. Well she picked me up pierside and handed me the keys to her car to drive home, but when we got to the parking lot, her car wasn't there. However, we stopped right in front of a black on black 2011 GT (with navi)!! I was so distracted by the homecoming that I didn't even notice until she drew my attention to it. Now I just have to figure out where to plug in my iPod and where the CDs go.

I wouldn't mind being tricked if that's what tricked means.

Yep, we've been together for almost 14 years and she still threw me off the scent. She's great. I would've liked to get the charcoal exterior pait, but since they stopped making it for 2011, it had to be black. If I was younger I would've gone for red, but I love it in black.
9krpmrx8, you were on the Mason right? I think I remember reading that from one of your posts.

What a great wife you have!!

I found that the navigation system in the new RX-8s is quite awesome. Add that to the bluetooth and you really have lots of cool things inside that GT.

Congrats!!!
