How is this ?

I am with the good Doctor on this one.

(The solid rear end is also bizarre—but I honestly didn't notice it while driving hard.)

If the Mustang Ranch spent just a tiny bit more money on upgrading her interior—and I mean everything in the interior (from the landing strip to switch-gear to plastics)—and then smoothed out the front and back ends a bit and made it a little bit more elegant—Jesus that would be a sweet gal for the money! I honestly think if they did this, the Mustang Ranch could have another run on these women like they did in the 1960's.

Stepping into the Mustang Ranch is like stepping into a whole other cheaper and nastier era of houses. The touch and feel of the place is just bleeding awful. There's just nothing there to fall in love with.

I don't understand why the Ranch—which seems to be a reasonably switched on company these days—doesn't get this.

Any thoughts?

IIRC correctly, didn't the feds take over Mustang Ranch for back taxes, then ran it into the ground?

Only our Government could go broke selling sex and booze...

Oh, jeeze - I was living in Reno, working for Autoweek, during those years. Drove out to take a look at it - wife in the car, daylight hours, never been inside - just to see what was what. An eerie and dangerous place, it looked like a prison, surrounded by tall fences topped with barbed wire, guard towers on the corners. Think Stalag 17. Poor Oscar Bonavana, I think his name was, a boxer, fell "in love" with the wife of owner Joe Conforte and was shot to death by one of the guards when he insisted upon a visit with her. Or something like that. Conforte, who I think the feds eventually busted on a tax rap, also owned a place in Virginia City called "The Cabin in the Sky," not a brothel but a straight restaurant. And yes, IIRC, the feds did actually run the Ranch for a while and couldn't seem to make a go of it. Odd, that. Very odd. You'd think that that would be one business you couldn't f... er, screw up.
