Please explain it to your wife this way. It is semi-official Marine Corps policy "to go shopping whenever we were around another branches service gear" so actually you are still following SOP. Just remember to put a handle on the front of the hood, paper clips on the front bumper, change out the dash ID plates, get a pair of rear airlift brackets (from Storm here on the forum) and paint on the USMC markings.

HA! You know that reminds me of a very specific story that I read about a battle during the Korean war where the Army was ambushed and retreated and left all of their trucks behind. The Marines then came in and fought them off and ended up taking all of the left behind vehicles and equipment and painted them up in Marine markings. Afterward the Army general went to the Marine general and said he wanted his trucks back and the Marine general told him they didn't have anything belonging to the Army that everything they had was marked with Marine markings and obviously wasn't the Armys.
