Think I'm getting divorced.

[wildthing]

Need pics of wife's shoes to see if she has good taste.

[JD159]

Tell her it is either the car, or you start wearing ass dragon pants.

You'll get the car.

[pavulon]

She needs control. Offer a choice between a Lotus 7 replica and the Ultima.

You'll need to set up a company in the Bahamas, plus his personal info.
Add him as an unpaid intern so he doesn't get a 1040.
He will need to be on the verge of a billion dollar widget discovery.

Then you'll be able to take out that 5M insurance policy on him.

Which Employers Bought Policies On The Lives Of Employees? – Dead Peasant Insurance
Employees find Corporate-owned Life Insurance not taken with their best interests at heart. Many believe the employer’s goal is to make money. For instance, the company can access loans through it. The premiums are deductible from the company’s profit. The proceeds from the insurance are not taxed.


It was nice knowing you stomachmonkey.

The Ultima isn't ugly, but that's even better. I wouldn't kick either one out of bed for leaking oil.

The original Ultima design was by Lee Noble. I've been to the Ultima factory, very nice stuff, especially compared to cheaper kitcar factories I've visited, with the exception of Radical whose stuff is also superb.

[1990C4S]

What about a Subaru based Factory Five car? Like an 818...

[stomachmonkey]

I prefer short stubby cars.

I'm 5'8" on a good day.

Loved my 3000GT but not the easiest car for me to drive.

Long sloping front ends and short people are not the best combo.

[Tobra]

There is also an 818 coupe, very sharp looking.
