Wife/girlfriend get queesy/sick during aggressive driving?

My wife always gets queesy when I accelerate hard and/or take corners quickly. She says it's normal, but I say it's rare.

Does your wife/girlfriend get queesy when you drive aggressively as well?

Mine is all too aware that I keep air-sick bags in the map pocket behind each seat.

Just did an 1,100 KM P-Car Can-Am run in the South Eastern corner of British Columbia. Some of the best mountain roads you will ever drive. She loved every minute of it (GF that is), catching air, 90 deg bends at 140KM...OMG it was sooooo much fun. In fact the most fun I have ever had in my car to date!

This pic was taken in Mexico of course...my God that was a long road trip!

Scott, in all fairness you do have the kind of hp that will make fighter jets look bad.

My wife can handle the porsche like it's nothing (riding), my old vette used to have her putting her hands over her eyes though. But never queesy.

My girlfriend actually got real used to my 911 Turbo... she just doesn't like it when I race on the freeway and whoop on AMGs and M5s. A bit frightening for her at those high speeds... but what to do when the other guy decides he wants a shot at the title... So we agreed, for safety reasons, no more racing unless a Ferrari, Lambo, or GTR decides to roll up. But in all honesty, I don't do it anymore when she's in the car she's much too important.

What if your wife gets queesy when I drive aggressively but your girlfriend doesn't? How are we supposed to answer with this poll?
