That's right, former Speaker Tom Foley's 2001 shiny Corvette convertible is up for sale. Much to the Washington Democrat's chagrin.

What analysts found is that certain brands are more likely than others to be dominated by a particular gender, while others are more gender-neutral in their ownership. For instance, ownership of exotic sports cars was heavily male, while many of the more practical, affordable brands were mostly owned by women.
