The car is the perfect 'halfway house' between a family caravan and luxury sedan.
We can't comply with all your requests, but we can 'meet you halfway'.
(..) Who's your parole officer? Seymour Scagnetti. How is he? He's a fuckin' asshole. Won't even let me leave the halfway house. It never ceases to amaze me. A fuckin' jungle bunny goes out there, slits a woman's throat for cents... he gets Doris Day for a parole officer. (..)1992 Reservoir Dogs
