Especially if you can get the built-in time machine working and go back to 1970, where you'll be inevitably seen as the suave, high-ballin' gentleman you always knew you were.

I say crackpipe.
The seller would have had better luck if he had more shots of the wife, perhaps splayed on the hood Whitesnake-style. I'm just saying . . .

However, if you come across a white Ford pickup once owned by Buddy Ebson, gimme a call.

I suppose it depends on whether or not it comes with the MILF.

...wait a minute... were you referring to the man's wife?
I'm shocked and consternated!
...or is that constipated? I forget!?!?

For a lovely girl to meet
He's gonna need a car.
You don't have to be a looker
If you find yourself a hooker
And you drive the Tin Man's car...

Haley was great as the Tin Woodman, but did he do anything else? Can we expand on this provenance any further? No? Well, then.

What is it about a change of pace that is just so unmistakably alluring? Right now I'm mired in the midst of Sex-and-the-Lipstick-Jungle empowered women, and really, the mere fantasy (i.e. delusion) of a homely Midwestern wife is just so much more appealing. Listen, say what you will, but she will:
- do your laundry
- wash the dishes
- cook you a homemade meal
- bring you a nice cold beer without you having to ask for it
- provide ample child-rearing opportunities (and all related activities prior to that)
What she won't do is:
- bitch about how she's so much more qualified than Darren but can't get ahead because she won't wear that low cut top, i.e. her principles
- suggest ordering out and then spending thirty minutes griping about how the menu probably is all trans-fat
- complain about the time spent oogling that Datsun 240z you just saw on eBay
- insist on getting that JCrew card
- require more maintenance than the aforementioned 240z
Look, Ms. High-Maintenance might read Cosmo and be interested in "ten ways to satisfy your man while not resorting to hoop earrings" (and therefore be immediately more open to "new things"), but there's something so pure about a sundress and white cotton panties that makes me want to give this all up and move to Iowa. Or at least get the fuck out of Midtown - have you seen the fucking rent hikes already?!

Also: GTFO while you still can. Girls like that will do nothing but drain your pocketbook and will to live.
Can't tell you how often I realize how lucky I am to be with a girl whose response to the Basement Lambo was "why aren't you doing more stuff on the wagon* yourself?"
*which she heartily encouraged the purchase of.

Decent enough ride. The celebrity connection is probably worth something, but $9600+ is a bit steep for the old Cadillac.

More than that, though is probably pushing the limits of sanity.
