I have to make a decision which vehicle I will be taking out today for a ride with my wife.

Corvette.
Gas: $5.50 a gallon
Mileage: 16 mpg
Comfort: Average
0 to 60: 4.1 seconds
Stares: Many.
Room for items: Very limited
People wanting to race me: Many
Does wife enjoying riding in: No
People asking me questions about the car: A few

Maverick
Gas: $5.00 a gallon
Mileage: 36mpg (average)
Comfort: Very comfortable
0 to 60: 7.6 seconds
Stares: I’m getting lots of stares when I’m driving
Room for items: Plenty of room
People wanting to race me: None
Does wife enjoying riding in: Yes
People asking me questions about the truck: Several people have been asking me about the Maverick

FYI. I made my decision. I’m going to take the Ford Maverick. It’s bigger, more comfortable to drive in, gets better mileage, my wife enjoys riding in it, and I really like driving this truck. This is a very nice truck.

Can't take the top off the Maverick. Okay, maybe once 😁

So are you selling the Vette? After all, not as much fun as the Maverick. :)

Wrong choice. Look at the beautiful sunny sky. Take the top down, ditch the wife and head up the coast road. Buy a case of your wife's favorite wine, bring some flowers and go to dinner in the Maverick.

After about an hour with the top down, and the sun shining on your head, you want to be in a Maverick.
Right? People that have never driven in a convertible think that with the top down you are getting this cool breezy ride, when in fact on a hot sunny day it can get quite hot with the sun beating down on you.

Yeah, the Corvette is for picking up old men who like cars, not for hauling the old lady around.
