991 Wife Warning

I came out of a MT 993 which my wife would never drive. Received my 991 PDK Cab last month. My only complaint is she always wants to drive it. I am about to take our son to play golf and she said "why don't you take the SUV and I will take the Porsche."

I hope you enjoy your new SUV...the 991 will soon become your wife's car! This is why you always buy traditional manual!

My wife can get anything she wants from me, but not my 991, no way.

I am not sure what part of the 1950's you live in, but I see plenty of both men and women driving newer porsches in LA.

I actually prefer a manual to the PDK ~ makes me feel like I have more control

We've had 6 Porsches in the 31 years we've been married, including our current 09 C4S coupe. They've all been my wife's daily drivers, and they've all had manual transmissions. Being a real estate agent, my daily driver has always been the wagon, sedan or suv. It's taken a long time, but I've finally solved the problem. My very own 991 CS cab is arriving soon. She gets the coupe, I get the cab. Maybe if she's nice, I'll let her swap every once in a while.

I love women who drive MT but when i get married, I'd rather not teach my wife how to drive MT though

My wonderful wife actually encouraged me to buy my 991. I ordered the PDK so she could drive it. So far she's only riden shotgun.

My wife and her Daily Driver (98 C2S, MT) for the last 14 years! Recently sold it with 135K+ miles on it. She is finally ready for a Sedan! After dragging our daughter and her friend (s) around for the last seven years, she is ready for a grown up car....I told her the new 991 had a ton of room in the back....she wasn't buyin' it...she is currently eyeing a Panamera or CLS.

No PSE. Her only complaint is lack of low end torque. She keeps saying how surprisingly slow it is.
