Surprise birthday gift!!!
My wife gave me a surprise birthday party and a surprise birthday gift, a Ford Supercab 4X4 Truck!!! 
It looks like I' m set with the ultimate hunting vehicle now. I went hunting in a Saturn sedan for 8 years before getting this new truck. YES, you can fit most deer in the trunk of a Saturn! 
However there were a few bucks I shot that I called my hunting partner to come assist me in transporting it to get it registered and to the butcher.
The birthday was the big 40! [:' (]
I' ve always had a great wife and now I have a great truck.

RE: Surprise birthday gift!!!
Thanks guys.
I' ve still got to pay off the truck loan in the near future but the thought behind the gift was pure gratitude. I had suffered with that stripped down Saturn (without air conditioning I might add) for a long time in order to provide the rest of my family with the things they needed. It was my turn to receive.
The new truck payment is also a goal set by my wife with her new business " Juice Plus" . She plans to increase her income this year above and beyond that payment.
This is my first Ford after a long line of just about everything else. This truck has everything on it to include leather interior and all the gadgets except a sun roof. I' ll be getting that spray in bed liner too. Still debating if I' m going to cap/cover the bed or not. I know it will help the gas mileage.

It wasn' t a birthday gift but for my high-school graduation my parents bought me a lifetime hunting license for the great state of Kansas. I joined the military and didn' t know where the world was gonna take me but I' ll always be a resident according to the KDWP. If you guys know how hard it is to get non-resident deer permits you' ll appreciate it.

RE: Surprise birthday gift!!!
The best present that I can remember was for christmass a couple of years ago. My wife got me a Remington 7400 30/06.
Last year my wife told me to get a new truck, my 1997 Thunderbird was on its last leg (had 180,000 miles on it), so I went out & got a 2002 F150 Extended cab. Now she has told me to check into trading it in & getting A SuperCrew Cab, just debating if I should get a 2003 or wait on the 2004' s to come out.
