This is pretty much every car commercial at Christmastime.
“Merry Christmas, honey! I just bought a 60k vehicle without consulting you!”

I do not understand how a married couple keeps their finances separate. Particularly to a degree that allows one to purchase his or her own car. Just blows my mind. It works for some people, I guess.

This is beside the point. It's a massive financial decision to purchase a new car. It is also something that not only one person will use, particularly if you have kids. To not discuss the purchase beforehand seems ridiculous to me.
Again, people live differently than me, so I may be in the minority, but I would be apoplectic if my wife bought a car without me knowing. I would also expect the same reaction from her if I did the same thing.

We both work and keep our own bank accounts? Doesn't seem that radical.......
We also have joint accounts for paying bills, and multiple savings and retirement/investment accounts....

The First Mate doesn't do shite without clearing it with the Captain.

Seriously it would be hard for me to be pissed at her as I've done this several times.

Doesn’t matter. Who cares?

GF and I have a joint account we put money in for rent, car ins, cell, house bills, food, etc...
The rest of our paychecks go in our own separate accounts. Her car note comes out of hers and mine (soon) will come out of mine. We use our accounts for our kids and what we want to with it

Some live in a household where both make good money. I would assume it would work like "we will each put 2000 per month in a joint checking account to cover our house and utilities, and the rest of our check we keep separate."
that would be ideal to me

Sounds like your neighbor is a Beta and she has all the power and makes all the decisions in that marriage.

I wouldn't be bothered by what my wife chooses to drive.

Not saying the simple logistics are impossible and I know it isn't radical. Would be difficult on the relationship itself to me. The couples I've known that have had separate bank accounts are either divorced or in major marital strife. With a couple exceptions. May just be the people involved rather than the manner of handling money

If she has a job and can afford it "laugh".
If I'm paying for it I get in it and drive it back to the dealership, tell the salesman to frick off and to give me the keys to the old car back.
Go home and toss them to her. then "laugh".

Alpha move.

In my situation my wife holds a great job down and makes great money. If she wants a new car more power to her, go get a new. She knows what we can afford.
Now if I was a the sole money maker in the family it would be a different story..... we need to talk about it.

Meh, if we could afford it, I don't think I'd be too upset. It would actually be pretty refreshing that I didn't have to deal with the hassle of buying a new vehicle. Especially with all the added stress she throws into those situations with all the details I'm pretty indifferent about.
She makes her own money and we are both in the loop as to what we have the ability to afford at any given moment by just looking at a few account balances. I'd be furious if she came home in something that we were even gonna have to think about moving money around to afford it or selling something to afford though. Otherwise, I might be out and see something within our budget that I absolutely have to have. So to keep my options open, she can spend money like an adult. Within budget, of course.

I would be upset as we agree that I'm the better researcher. But in the end, the deal we made was I pay the mortgage and electricity and she pays for everything else. I did this as to not have arguments over everything. Working out so far. Amazing how many trendy places she's stopped wanting to go to, and how much she now enjoys making dinner at home. (cheap arse bitch, love ya)

I bought a $75,000 truck without technically telling my wife 
We talked about it for a few months and went back and forth on how much I should spend. One day she got home from work and I told her she had to bring me to Hammond to get my new truck.
