haha. My wife can't drive a stick (used that term on purpose for the fun of it).

Anyway, she never drives my car as a result, so I never see it from the 3rd person perspective. The other day on the highway was an identicle Seal Grey TT with the same split tail pipes I have. I forgot the term for them.

I was cool to see. I think the guy thought I was nuts b/c he was just driving along, and I get behind him, next to him, and in front of him over and over again to see the different perspectives. I couldn't believe he didn't want to play or do anything fun though.

This is obviously British humor, as in England people actually stop at stop-signs...

This is truly a dilemma. My fiancee loves my TT Coupe but I have to say that I am less than impressed with her driving skills. She has been in two accidents over the past 5 years. At some point, I will have to bite the bullet and put her behind the wheel...unless I pull the trigger on a new Cayenne S!!!!

My wife drives all of my toys from time to time. Usually with her hot friend on a shopping trip.

Nothing like two hot chicks in a fast car. They say the number of cheesy pickup attempts from guys increases 10X while in my cars.

My wife likes to drive the TT, though not while I am in the car with her -- wonder why???

She has also shared the car with me at a couple DE events. The good part about this is that it really gets her excited about the car, so she usually doesn't put up too much of a fuss when I want to make some changes to it.

And in case you are wondering if she ***** foots around in it, last year at our PCA clubs annual drive up to Traverse City, I was out of town so she took the car by herself. I asked her how she did, to which she replied ... "Just fine." I later found out from a couple of friends, that she pretty much led the pack on US 131, including a few runs above 120mph! I probably could have done without someone telling me that little detail, but all is well that ends well. And as I said, having her into the car is much better than the alternative ... I think!

Its funny, because I stand in the driveway and watch my wife pull away untill I cant see or hear the car anymore.
I guess you could say it makes me a little nervous now after she did this to my last 996.

I'm sure you guys are tired of seeing these pic's but they still bring a tear to my eye.

I told my wife she can drive it but I will have to spend some time "teaching" her the car and how to handle it safely. She doesn't even bring it up anymore! And yes, she already knows how to drive a stick.

He's probably heard the rumors......... J/K. He may have been admiring your car just the same, but from a different perspective

The wall on 95 highway, twice, in a spin. The front looked much the same.

I've let my wife drive my car before. Like she always says, no one has ever beaten out of the toll booth before!
