People who don't like the basket handle, like these wheels, it is a known fact

Edit: Phil, congratulations, you will not regret it!

Alan,
You are evidently overlooking the fact that I am latin. We latins never have qualms about aging. In fact, down here lots of my friends have wives/girl friends 20-30 years younger. It is better known as the "Giacomo Casanova" effect. Latin women hold up well. Look at Sofia Loren... Image is everything down in this neck of the woods. Up north, in strait-laced Zurich such an attitude is terribly frowned on. The cars are all non-moded. The attitude is tight-lipped (as is expected from Swiss bankers...).
Man, I'm in mafia country down here... lots more fun... life is soooo short...

You're right, though the car still looks good. As an Argentinian friend of mine once said watching a women cross the room towards us: " She has good far away"!

Yes, Phil, I understand completely, I really do. It failed to occur to me that you, of course, are in Switzerland not Los Angeles. Older guys tend to be luckier with the ladies with a more reserved style around here and the younger babes kind of laugh at the more flashy older gents. This country is so up tight! Not like Europe at all... especially along the Riviera. Ah, the Costa Del Sol. Anyway, there I go dreamin again.

You are a fun loving guy and I know you carry it well. You are in terrific shape and look great.

Had to move the next sentences down cause it kinda read wrong in the same paraprah.

In fact, come to think of it, I think I'll be a movin to Lugano myself, however, I'm still keepin the twists and the graceful arch of the factory designer's vision.

Have fun with the new wheels. I am not sure how you are gonna handle six more ladies on top of the six you are juggling now. You dawg.

Hehe good thing I'm still in my early 20s.

Phil, look how great these look.

Princeton, you devil, have a ball. Oh, I remember when...... Can never say I didn't have enough, that's fer sure. I was your age in the 70's, yahoo... no aids.

I like where I am at now. Got a great wife who looks terrific for 54. Her birthday is the 19th. I can't belive I have a 54 year old wife... strange.

Your wife rocks and tell her I said so. Jan if you ever get tired of those "quick-draw" younger men......I'll bring the Dramamine!
