She does bear a resemblance to Bunny Lebowski.
Marrying for money is so gauche, she should f*ck him death, he's lookin' pretty feeble.

Any old fart who marries that much younger than he is, is asking for it anyway.
He's more liable to end up penniless or near enough.
I had a friend who was late 40s, married a girl in her early 20s, made it a point to brag about how jealous we all we supposed to be. I just waited for the eventual crash.
All the typical stuff, had one or two younger boyfriends on the side, ran him and their child all over the country.
Went thru his money like water, destroyed his cars and his possessions.
He eventually ended up with his son, but my oh my, she ran him thru the wringer.
He went from being a successful tech at a large corporation in a nice house to a guy with a soldering iron in a small shop living in a seedy apartment.
Seriously older guys, it ain't worth it. Any girl who wants to marry your old ass has probably got plans that you wouldn't like.

If you need a better car go see Cal
For the best deal by far go see Cal
If you want your payments low
If you wanna save some dough

Even though they were only married for months, the 40(ish)-year-old Anna wants spousal support from 91-year-old Cal.



Now I ain't saying she's a golddigger...

/Wait, yes I am
//fark her, she should get nothing.

I was born in Anchorage, so I used to think it was "moosy-cow".

I had no idea Cal was still alive. I guess he had lots all across the west coast, but I became aware of his existence (and commercials) while living in Anchorage.

Yessir, that's New Deal Used Cars... Now wait just a Goddaymn minute. What the hell is this? Is this a 1974 Mercedes 450SL for *twenty-four thousand dollars*? That's too farking high.

Yessir. We blew the shiat out of that over-priced motherf*cker just the way we blow the shait out of *all* high prices, down here at New Deal Used Cars. So y'all come on down. Did you hear what I said? New Deal Used Cars. So y'all come on down. Did you hear what I said?

/Still the best.

//It's real to me dammit.

I always thought it was go-sey-cow, like dosey-doh. I felt I had grown up a bit the day I heard it as go see Cal.

He still does his commercials, but he looks and sounds like shiat. No idea why he got married, because he can barely talk let alone fark

This part of the article bothers me the most:

Even though they were only married for months, the 40(ish)-year-old Anna wants spousal support from 91-year-old Cal.

And is why divorce laws need to be changed, there is no way some coont deserves any support just because she was married to him for a few months.

Cal, never, ever take your pet stripper to Las Vegas.

Well why the fark did the moron marry her then? Caveat emptor, fool and his money, etc...

Hiya friends!

// In the next world she'll be on her own.

Men are stupid and believe a woman when they say she loves him, disbursement should be based on length of marriage, 4 months means she gets a toaster and boot out the door.

Didn't know about him before moving to Los Angeles but it's amazing he's still do ads especially since every car description sounds like his death rattle. I went to see a revival house screening of Hickey & Boggs (a nearly 40 year old movie) a week ago and that had a Cal ad in the background!

He shoulda known better and got a prenup. Damn a car dealer that didnt use a contract. Guess we can all get free cars from him now.Lt. Cheese Weasel: [www.gerritgraham.com image 300x169]

In California, if you've been married less than 10 years, the judge is not likely to award spousal support except under extraordinary conditions, such as one spouse put the other through school to get a degree or one spouse dropped out of the labor force in order to raise the couple's children.

Married a few months, no kids? Yeah, her lawyer is going to get laughed right out of court on the topic of spousal support.

I get that. I just don't think it should be the legal systems job to protect rich morons from their own stupid dealings.

She's going to get a 12 year contract for a dodge dakota at $53 a month. (That's how Cal works)

Thanks for the stuck song syndrome.

shift_DAWG: Of course, in 1974, I thought it was "Pussy cow, Pussy cow, Pussy cow." Made sense to my one-thousand-day-old mind, his "dog Spot" was never really a dog.

You're not the only one who thought that. Since he was still running those commercials very frequently in the 80s when I got to SoCal, that's what my child-like self thought was being said.

Spent many a night watching Cal Worthington commercials that seemed to loop on into the early hours.

I guess I'm out of range of the, "My dog Spot", commercials he's running now. Sounds like he is still doing well though, considering.

When he was in Federal Way he was selling... wait for it... Yugos.

My first job EVER was at that drive-in (Los Altos Drive-in), which stored some his cars when there was overflow. It was razed years ago to expand the dealership.

That's awesome! Good times were had by all.

This guy is still alive?

Grandpa bought a van from him in the 80s.
