    It is pretty clear in the movie, she needed to take it into the mechanic to get it fixed. That's why he had the better car.

      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!

          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.
            I could have been at a barbecue!

                It is called a movie. Why do people make deals out of movies that are just movies?

                  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
                  .
                  Thanks arturog for your subject post
                  .
