The Corvette lives in the garage with the motorcycles on either side. He moves that car. It would get destroyed if I did it. Rumor has it men have better spatial awareness compared to women.

Sex Difference On Spatial Skill Test Linked To Brain Structure

Men consistently outperform women on spatial tasks, including mental rotation, which is the ability to identify how a 3-D object would appear if rotated in space. A new study shows a connection between this sex-linked ability and the structure of the parietal lobe, the brain region that controls...

(Add to that that Tesla’s rims don’t mount tires proud enough to protect the wheels… ooooff.)
