It took her a few seconds to get what I meant

Yeah, that was exactly what I meant ;-)

Kind of how I felt back in 99 when I bought a new truck. My car blew up on the freeway, had AAA tow me home and had my ex come get me and take me to the dealer. My job required me to have a car so I had to buy one ASAP. Then to top it off, she swiped it from me in the divorce :-(
