Ron's Leaving His Wife -- For His Cars

Dear Tom and Ray:

I collect cars from companies that have gone out of business. So far, I have a 1950 Studebaker, a 1950 Hudson, a 1950 Packard, a 1960 Desoto and a 1960 Edsel. My wife says, "Get rid of them, or I will get rid of you." What should I do? I love these cars more than my wife, and I am willing to move out and find a five-car garage somewhere and just sleep on a cot with the cars. Please advise.

He can't be a DUmb**** because having five cars, all collectables (arguably), implies some sort of success in life.

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

I wouldn't turn my nose up at a 1964 Rambler or this beautiful 1956 Packard Patrician.

Especially if they're in a community property state, he'll still end up losing the cars even if she does leave him.

On edit - still might be well worth it in the long run...

My first car was a '63 Rambler 770 4 door that looked just like this one:



I bought it from a little old woman (like no one could see that coming) who had died.  The car was garage kept, had 35k miles on it, cherry condition, and became mine for $350.  That was 1985, where has the time gone....

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.
