Bill,

 

that's a very pretty car, indeed. I wish I knew what it was.

From the context, I'd guess that it's a Ferrari.

 

Otoh, it looks like it be moving rather than broken down, so perhaps not...

That is my 1958 MGA that I bought in 1970 when I was a tyke, drove my future wife to be around in it (had her a few months longer than I've had the car), and converted to a race car as soon as I was old enough to get a racing licence in 1973.

 

Still got it, haven't had time to race it for about 4 years now, busy doing other things, other cars. Still got the wife too.....

I must admit I can relate with some of the stuff you wrote there but I must say that I dont think the Sheaffer Legacy is such a bad pen I like it better thean my Mark 5 PFM.

Well, the idea was to humorously exagerate negative traits, rather than provide a reall accurate picture... It's not even true that lawyers eat souls - not all lawyers, anyway...
