The car keeps trying to oversteer and I have to reach back, grab the rear fender, and physically push the rear end into line. I have owned the car for many years, but only recently took it out of storage. I decide to sell the car. A friend sends me an old photo of my then wife taking our child out of the car. The woman is Stephanie Zimbalist. I get in the car and go back in time, it feels like ten or twenty years, and park outside our old house. Entering, I meet: my friend who had sent the photo; my father; and an imbecile who, I remember, had died shortly after that. They all seem aged, while I feel young and uplifted. This is odd, I think, as I am the one who is 20 years older. My ex-wife/Zimbalist enters the kitchen and greets me. She is apparently unaware that I am visiting from my future. She looks wonderful. We banter, she starts to do the dishes, I ask her to stop and I promise to do them later. It is exciting to see her, and I enjoy seeing our old house and vaguely shabby old furniture. I go to the car and retrieve my digital camera. As I take snapshots of the people and house, I hope no-one will notice, as cameras are still film at the time. I ask my wife to go for a walk on the beach outside."
Let's see . . .

You feel removed from reality when you travel. (time travel) You have some good ex-memories. (transferred to Stephanie Zimbalist to relieve guilt about them). You like old cars.

You are obsessed with making money. The gangster theme was just an overlaid recent memory.

You are substituting Tom Arnold for a good buddy you wish you had.

I look down say, "I will never live to be that old." He says, "Yes you will."
You worry that your life is meaningless.
