Choose One





The car is an EV. The center single seat means she will have to sit on the driver's lap. So it does have some advantages over a 911.

That's actually a tough one.

How high performance are each (quick, fast, handling, endurance)? Do I get to test drive each?

Then you have to wonder, how long with that "new car" smell last. When will the dew be gone off of the lily?

Each could end up giving you major headache. One will likely cost a lot more to get rid of if you decide to go that route...

In all likelihood, she'll outlast that POS.

Decisions, decisions, I should be so lucky. But, then again, these are honest questions??? New car smell is the best.
