KAW - needless to say an interesting weekend for you. You caught up on your sleep yet?
It seems that your W is only comfortable right now moving at her pace with regards to affection. Nothing that you can do to rush the process but she is moving in your direction - and that is always a good thing.
What is it with our spouses and new cars? My W got a new car in January and I've only gotten to drive it once as well.
