Forget the trophy wife AND the lifelong partner. Look for the woman who got her ex's Ferrari in her divorce!
Somebody should jump on this....At concorso italiano, or at any other show...there should be a booth. The banner would say: "Rent a Trophy Wife". For $150 an hour any car lover can get this idea out of his system. These "stepford-like" creatures would come in several flavors: Lambochick, tifosa, etc. All equipped with leather mini skirts, visible thong, giant rock, and a proper tank top, sans bra. You just take them for stroll at the car show, everyone ooos and ahhhs, all very safe, but not entirely discreet (even your wife could watch and perhaps even cause a pretend "scene"). What do you think? With a little funding and some spent models (high runway mileage) this could really take off !!???
The secret to being able to buy the car of your dreams is to have seperate checking accounts. That way she has her money and can spend it on what she wants, and you can spent your money on what you want. I've done this for 20 years and am happy. Pat, my wife, left on a business trip for one month, and I bought a new pickup. No discussion was held before or after. Later, I wanted a new pickup and just anounced what I was going to do and did it. When I retired, I ran across a Ferrari deal. I pulled the money out and bought it. There was only, "Are you really going to do this?" The secret to be able to do this is seperate checking accounts. Bob Wassam
