Removing the cupholder is NOT an option.

The car must remain streetable!

Mine always gets queazy....anything over 55 mph or any feeling of the turbos kicking in and she immediately goes to a white knukle mode....of course I'm dealing with the aftermath of the fact her ex rolled their camaro and put her head thru the windshield....so she won't ride with me if I do anything even close to spirited driving.....too damn bad too kuz I have a beautiful slant cabriolet that's perfect for driving the hills on a balmy summer day...but it's so damn boring driving at 45 mph.

My girlfriend gets sick every time. She's not scared, just motion sickness .... sometimes dramamine works, but mostly is doesn't.

On the other hand, my 13yr daughter is just like Dad, "is this as fast as it goes ??", "come on Dad, go faster ...". She is headed to the track to learn to drive long before she gets a license.

HAHAHAHA, that's awesome that he knows one car from the other, not that the color matters much since dogs are CB.

Maybe it's the exhaust note, turbo ducts, or a special smell of "ugofastudie" that lets him know which one is safe to get in.

My wife can't take it. Car is too capable. She gets upset when I "cross the line."

Just about everyone else shuts up when I accelerate. It's like their brains can't process talking while pressed against the back of their skull. Works every time!

Except for my 14-year-old next-door-neighbor. She barely notices and just keeps talking like nothing's going on. Amazes me every time.

hahhaha...you're right. She's actually rarely in the p-car because she can't stand my suspension, but when she is in the p-car, she'll reach for anything within range (including my neck!) LOL

This is a tight race with the hard core females having a slight lead over the girls that can take it some times with the softies coming in a close third.

If it is "traffic justified" i.e I needed to floor it to get ahead of that car so i could safely make that turn. Sometimes that works, otherwise I just get "the look."
