So date has money and their car is a junker? Or they will use dad’s car and she wants to impress date? Looking at his available cash on the table, will either make much difference?

“I want to look really cool for this chick. How about buying an Aston Martin?”

Based on looks and attitude this kid deserves nothing better than a 1970 AMC Gremlin

Back in the 60s, Dad discovered that he could buy a 4 year old Caddy for the same price as a new Chev. Bench seats with electric tilt. I still recall that night at the drive-in with Gillian.

Maybe he has enough for a down payment if he can get a low, low interest rate

I thought that was his daughter or wife talking.

I was as Scout leader many years ago, we were chatting around the campfire, the boys were in the tents. This topic came up, not the car, but the “if you could see my date.” The one leader said his son brought home the new girl friend, she was good looking, he was not sure if it was on purpose or what, but he said his eyes, and stunned look said enough… then his wife knocked his eyes out of his head and he was stunned from the blow. I have all girls, glad I didn’t have that family situation.

There is a good chance that Dad isn’t even going to give you gas money, dude.

Because when I borrow yours, we’re going to trash it!

The one redeeming feature of Ramblers….reclining front seats

Open marriage commentary…

Why, she’s not my date.

Get a job, buy your own car.
