<human>: Please note:  The reason I did not post this in r/finance was because the issue at hand is not finances (or finance trouble) specifically.

My wife [22F] and I both work great jobs as engineers, pulling in around $165k/year income. Ever since I was a teenager, I've wanted a particular car - around $38k car. I'm extremely passionate about cars, and this has been my dream for as long as I can remember. My wife has been overly supportive of this - she wants to see me happy and she wants to make this happen for me, and we have the finances (and emergency savings) to do so. The problem is that I feel rotten about potentially spending that much money on myself while she seemly gets left in the dust. She doesn't have many hobbies, and certainly not any interests that would require this much money. Am I just in feeling rotten about this purchase? I don't know how to make this up to her. I realize that marriage isn't always "I did 'x' for you, so I deserve equal 'y'", but still; it feels selfish.  This could potentially postpone buying a house, which means more to her than it does to me.  She is fine and supportive of buying it before buying a house, but I still feel rotten for accepting it.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: I want a nice car, wife is supportive but it makes me feel rotten, like I'm hogging the finances.
