Answer: All of the above. In his senior years of wanting to indulge himself, Gerry was longing for a motorcycle (which he used to have). After thinking about it for a long time, he decided against that option. (Thankfully!) This little Smart Car is made by Mercedes. (He always wanted a Mercedes). It has no purpose other than a completely fun travel toy.
Gerry is now the proud owner of this funny looking vehicle. A birthday present from us both. It is almost a convertible, but not quite. The car has a large sunroof, so if you slide that open and let the windows down, it effectively functions like a convertible.
We are planning a number short trips--some sightseeing, overnight, and back home. This is a perfect car for that goal. Truthfully, there is little luggage space, just room for two people, so we will have to pack light!
I'm not sure how long this particular urge will last, but if it makes Gerry happy (and it seems to make him laugh out loud), then I'm all for it. Move over world, here we come! (in half a car :)
