April 1991

Dear Tom and Ray:
I am 11 years old and I would like very much to get a Lamborghini Diablo. It is my very favorite car, and I would love to own one, even though I can't drive. I suppose I could have somebody else drive me in it. I have no funds at all. So how do you guys suggest I get one in the near future?

RAY: There are two ways to approach this, Laura. You can go the traditional route and try to marry your way into money. That's how my brother got his '63 Dodge Dart.

TOM: Or you can do your homework, study hard, and grow up to be a Saab transmission mechanic. Then you'll be able to afford anything you want.
