I've seen this a hundred times. The father of a girl I went to school with made damn good money working for Goodyear. They lived in a little run down house, the girl and her sisters all had the same car handed down to them, and her moms car was a wore out '94 Tarus. But her dad had what was probably at the time, a $ 70,000 boat, a new truck, a a brand new Harley. It's lame as hell, but there are lots of people like that,

It seems like if they could afford that Jaguar then they should have been able to afford a second car that wasn't a total piece of garbageunless they were just trying to live beyond their means..

I agree. I thought that too. Its fine to want to be conservative with money, but come ON! Buy the wife a car that's not a piece of crap!
Your son is riding around in it, for God's sake. Keep him safe at least.

Actually, maybe in the 80's, when this movie was made, that car wasn't such a piece of junk. Plus the fact that the husband drives such a flashy car is perhaps another way to show the viewer what a self centered scumbag he was..

On your second point you are correct.
On your first point, wellYeah the Pinto was a POS in the 80's. I was there. My sister had one. The pinto was considered to be one of the most dangerous cars ever produced. It killed and maimed hundreds of people. It had an exploding gas tank. There was a huge lawsuit.

While the wife has a junked car
the husband has a brand-new, sports car.
The funny thing is that i know some couples like this one.
Sadly I have been hearing everyone I know
that has seen this film say exactly that - since 1983
.
I agree it's ridiculous but very true here
