c) A Ford Maverick
d) Dirk Nowitzki

While I would prefer a lipstick-wearing Pit Bull, Pete Mitchell seems the obvious choice. Who else has been in an inverted dive with a MiG 28 while keeping up foreign relations? Does that qualify for foreign policy experience?

I'm going to have to vote for Brett. Good poker face is needed in foreign relations.

I would need to ask, considering the economy at the moment - what is the gas mileage of the Maverick?

are we flying away into the danger zone??

melissa,
having been the proud(?) owner of a 1970 Maverick in college, I can tell you that it isn't that great. In fact, I called mine Ethyl because she also needed Premium gas.

I have to vote for Dirk -- none of the others are "relevant" to me. Brett is too old for me to know about, Cruise/Maverick could only be a VP ("Never leave your wing man"), the Mustang car shown - again, too old - so that leaves Nowitzki.

Don't forget Brett's brother on the TV show - Bart Maverick. (I think)

Wait, Dirk is foreign born, so constitutionally he's out no matter how relevant he is.

The Ford apparently is a gas guzzler and besides a car can't lead -- unless the Knight Rider car KITT is a Ford Maverick ...

Let's face it, an old shool revolver won't get you very far. Neither will gambling. Brett's out.

That leaves Pete. Please remember the movie ends with Iceman saying to Maverick," You are still dangerous, but you can be my wing man any time."

The Maverick's response: "...you can be mine!!!"

Thus Maverick is the real Maverick!!
