Maybe it's different when you're married or something, but the only vehicle I would ever shop for with my SO would be a mini-van. Anything else and she can buy it herself.

Well, for the next vehicle I told her to go buy what she was wanted. Well not quite like that. I went with her a couple times and she narrowed it down to something she liked. I said sure, go for it. She came back with something that was much more expensive. Another 5 K or something. I don't remember exactly.
But back then I couldn't really say much. She was making a lot of money and so was I. So the money was not really an issue.
