Yeah I've got the whole episode - the opening is very well done, even if it's got a little piece of Australia in it:

Default Something to consider, 370Z

Got to admire Japanese engineering.. squeezing out immense power/torque out its new engine, so much that it's actually quicker than 2009 Mustang. All this from a naturally aspirated v6

My next door neighbour is fairly high up at nissan, he has had an awesome light blue 370z out of the front of his house for a couple of months now, it looks so much better sitting next to the 350z. Can take a pic if you guys want...

Best EBAY advertisement description ever.

I love this car! There, I said it! However there is an awkward tension in my house as my wife (we'll call her "Dragon Lady" for short), feels that it is time to downsize. There is little to be said for a situation where a woman insists that a man "downsize". This is because a man will often revert to grumbling under six day stuble in fear of losing a nights feed. Groan as I may, I cannot cook, my hands are tied at the thought of not eating her roast dinner every Sunday night - damn the witchery of it all. They say "the way to a mans heart is through is stomach" - well, because of my stomach my heart will be torn from its warm chest and thrown to the bitter cold winds of .... a 'Prius'....Oh God....the pain!!!! Dragon Lady has bore me seven (7) beautiful children and as such rules the house with an annoying tone in her voice that only other mothers can recognise and acknowledge, but instills the fear of God into anything with testosterone or resides under the age of 17. This cunning banshee has thus rendered me powerless in my quest for decision making within my castle, dethroning me of Kingship whilst crowning me court jester all with one nagging squeal - and all in the name of a hot meal. "Toughen up!", "Be a Man!" I hear you cry (out of ear shot of your own parole officer, no less) - but I respect the power of the woman! She not only cooks, cleans and raises my children with one hand, runs the business, pays the bills and checks for nits with the other - she has one thing I need as much as, if not more than that tasty, uncious, layered lasagne on Friday nights - that being -The Vagina! So there you are fellas - you see and feel my pain, emasculation is thriving, albeit quietly, in the suburbs of this great nation. All that is left to do is unburden me of my love and drive away in this MANLY car. I will accept bids out of sympathy and as such will welcome offers up to and including $1Million dollars (for ongoing pain and suffering). Best Wishes - Tony.
