I only have my Camaro but I didn't tell my wife about it until it was on the way up from TX. She was pissed and very hurt that I didn't tell her about it. The reason I didn't say anything was due to the fact that we had jut bought our house and moved in that same week and I knew that she would want all kinds of new stuff before I bought a car. Once it got here I made it a point to have her involved in everything that was done to or with the car. She actually enjoys the car a great deal. I also made sure to get things around the house done in a timely manner as proof that the car wasn't keeping what she sees as the bigger priority from happening. I was lucky and it's all worked out well for me.
You've already sinned and now it's time to make up for it. How you handle it will determine the outcome. The fact that you have so many cars is going to be the big challenge. Perhaps an agreement of some type on how many cars you have at anyone time would be in order. Also getting her input on what's done to the car won't hurt. I'd bet the big hurt she feels is being left out of the process and the fact that you hid the car.
Take your lumps and GOOD LUCK!!
