Apparently reverse psychology always works, at least on this EP.
He's got 3 women who want to marry him: an heiress SF, a popularly read psychologist specializing in males pursuing women, and the drummer in his band DW, although she doesn't emerge as a contender until the end. He marries none of them, but they each get hitched at the end.
He wins the sports car race after ceding several minutes at the start. This is one of the races that the drivers have to run for their cars at the start, and extra people decide to drive. So he tries his sedan (no gas), and then a rival is disqualified because he car didn't start, but EP can start it. The minus on my rating is for this set of circumstances, especially since one rogue driver is highly incompetent, and therefore dangerous.
