What does the wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend of a ZR1 owner typically drive?

I just bought my wife a new car. 2005 c55 (an AMG car). I had a lot of fun shopping for it being a gearhead and all of course. It got me thinking, I wonder what all the other significant others of the brotherhood here drive?

Owning a ZR1 had some influence on my purchase in that it is a naturally aspirated aluminum V8 with more than 2 valves/cylinder...in this case 3 actually.

The new twin turbo 335 BMW was in the running and what an awesome car that was...very fast, very nice, but forced induction and all that heat. My wife loved that car the most, but I had to talk her into this Mercedes, well, being me (a ZR1 owner) and all. I felt kind of bad about it knowing she really liked the Bimmer better, I just felt like I was getting a little more car in the Mercedes.

Any of you had a similar experience...i.e. owning a ZR1 pushing towards a certain 2nd or significant other vehicle?
