When my wife and I started dating I'd take her on Bonzai runs up the Ortega at 2 in the morning to sit in the hot springs.
We're hitting 130 plus in my S and shes asking for more...
Had to marry her

I haven't seen my wife gets sick in the car; she would say "Slow Down!" before anything happen.

This thread is worthless w/out pics of Scotts wife.

You all want this, trust me

In regards to my own, she used to love moderately spirited driving (a third 4th gear pull to maybe 120 tops) but all out racing in Mexico was too much for her. Since our mini man was born there is no racing together whatsoever.

I am not really worried about myself so much, but the thought of my son an orphan is absolutely intolerable.

Your priorities are in the right order. I think your concern is in most of our minds.

I can relate to every post! I have owned Porsche Turbos for 20+ years and it has been a long time since I was allowed to let loose! I also circuit race in several cars including Porsche TT's of several types and she rode with me for afew laps a some years ago. Now she is relunctant to sit in race car even standing still! She does take great pleasure in lining up as many friends as she can -- just so she knows she is not alone!!

If i step on it, she gets mad at me, always, no fun when she´s along.
So i drive much less now the C6 Z06, always the daily driver.

my ex girlfriend used to cry with me and scream... i wouldn't listen to her but her reaction would make me stop..
in the mornings when i used to drop her off at work, we used to wait in the car for 5-10 min for her to stop crying and calm down.. it was too much..

Wifey gets sick and tells us to slow down because she knows the value of our life insurance policy. She would rather not be in the car in case something happens...who else is going to spend the $$$?

My wife (and 16 year old daughter) say "it's only fun for the driver". If she's in the drivers seat, no problem. I have to admit the car is alot more fun when your sitting behind the wheel than inthe passenger seat.

She gets scared and angry with aggressive driving in the van. She expects
more of that in the Porsche. I also have shoe marks on my dash from the
time I escalated to 10/10ths...

If we are heading up to the mountains I will give my wife a dramamine so she doesn't get sick. Of course my daughter is in the back yelling go faster and my son is like my wife going slow down.

My wife doesn't get sick, but I don't think she likes it much... On the other hand, she drives like a lunatic, and I get sick when I ride with her!!

Wife hates it, girlfriend hates it, so I spend most of my time in my baby alone making myself sick and loving every minute of it... :-).
