We call them yard cars. Sometimes on Sundays the whole family will go out and sit in the yard car and play the radio.

Ann drives, a couple of Cadillacs, actually.

One it is really bad to put an adverb at the end of a sentence.

Two it is a British idiomatic affectation. Very upper class and dismissive.

Three... don't ever give a straight line to a smarty pants.

"Lay off Mitt Romney's wife"

It's worse to incorrectly put a comma after drives, the way you just did.
It's perfectly acceptable to verbally say what he said.

Sorry, but I have to disagree with most of your post. Nothing personal.
However, we can agree that Mitt Romney is a pompous douchebag.
