her for a romantic Sunday drive when indeed thou art going out to look at
another car.
5) Thou shalt not love thy cars more than thy wife and children.
6) Thou shalt not despise thy neighbor's Edsel, nor his DeSoto, nor
even his '47 Plymouth.

then use it to store cars.

the car show season.
10) Thou shalt not buy thy wife a floor jack for Christmas.
