Short hair and old Buick for me.
A good excuse to buy a second one. That's a second Corvette, not a second wife..
Yep, you’re just asking for trouble with a woman like that. I’ll compromise on looks a bit for a more secure and happy relationship. With someone like her, I’d be afraid to leave the house.
Got my wife with a “81 Delorean......... still got it and her...
What the hell is that?

The oldest profession in the world lives on.
Most young women do not love fancy cars, what they are really doing is competing with other women. A mate with an expensive car offers prestige to make other women envious. The worst thing possible for many women is to date a man that gets them laughed at for any reason by other women.
Pimp my Edsel!
No problem. I’m pretty thick skinned.
Geez-These “studies” are so funny- as is the time honored statement of “Studies show” or “A study done by th University of (fill in the blank) show”
Suppose you are a manufacturer of sports cars and suppose further that they aren’t selling like you expected, men in particular don’t like the style - it is too sedate and feminine. You decide to hire an advertising agency that specializes in rescuing products in trouble. After analyzing why it isn’t selling they come back and tell you they have a solution.
Their solution? Never fear Rent-a-scientist is here. You know the type - they are in every profession. They never will be successful because they are either lazy lack ethics or dumb. What do they do? They join rent-a-scientific whore. The advertising agency pays them money to do a study that shows that women like men who drive flashy cars.
Operative word here - shows rather than proves.
Within two days the Rent-a-scientist has the study conducted, written and released and faxed to reporters with the popular fill in the blank story form. Reporter gives it to his boss and he is out of there for the weekend. The boss his opportunity to leave early and gives it to the producer who uses it for the 30 second weekend leadin.
The advertising agency decides to target the 40-60 middle class balding males and produces a 30 second commercial on television.
You see George and John Average in a car at a stop light. The light changes and a middle age fat balding man in his 40s zooms past them with a beautiful blonde in the sports car.
You see him looking enviously at the car and then back to his wife (a real dog). you hear him say to himself I guess that study was right, Men do like women in flashy cars. without taking his eyes off the car as it fades away, he says Honey I think it is time for a sports car. Without looking up from her romance novel she says Thats nice George.
I still remember the XKE - Nicest car on the road in the sixties.
