Last Fall my wife and I spent some time at a friend's beach house.
While dining out one evening I noticed a sharp little convertible parked next to our car.
It struck me as fun looking, so I checked out and did some research on it when we got back to the house.
With her retired and me mulling it over, a fun vehicle to use for fun things seemed like a fun idea.
Then I saw a few Gladiators at my local dealer, and they looked fun too, but considerably more versatile than the little Spyder.
So the choices were to keep the Tacoma and sell the CX-5, a great car by the way, or to sell both and get a new truck and a convertible in one package.
Age brings wisdom, and I let that little ember smolder for some time, weighing the pros and cons of each choice.
The little car would be easier to get topless and better on gas, but it's a three season fun ride here in Virginia, and I've always had a 4x4 truck, or at least for 30 years I have, and sometimes it's essential around the property or getting places in a foot of snow.
So the decision was made.
Sometimes the whole versus thing isn't apples to apples.
Honestly, if I had another garage bay...
