Default Corvette question

If your wife got her car stuck on railroad tracks and a train was coming, would you use your Corvette to push her off the tracks ?

A. Of course! I love my baby and no car is worth her.

B. I might get out and push

C. Only if she was driving my other Corvette

Are you asking this question while your wife is stuck on some railroad tracks?

D: Can I buy another Corvette after she gets out and that one is totaled? And how far will fiberglass splinters fly?

Since I don't have a wife, I don't need to worry about being stuck on the railroad tracks and without one in my pocketbook, I can own the two vettes myself.
