My wife just left in her first solo run in my car. I'm nervous...

Any of you dudes let your lady out for solo missions?

No, fortunately the wife cant drive a manual!

 

 

It's been 10 miniutes....
She's not back yet....

 

I let mine take it sometimes.....see drives it like a maniac....

 

Rox had driven mine twice. She doesn't want to. Not sure why

 

Damn i would be worried. This guy let his wife bring his diablo 6 liter to my school to pick up their son, and she stalled 3 times in the parking lot, when she backed up she revved the car to about 4k RPMs. Any way to make a long story short by the time she left the parking lot wreaked of burnt clutch, and my friends and i were in tears.

 

 

of course, what fun would it be if they didn't enjoy it. Luckily I have a girl that has the bug and turns a wrench too

she's driven this thing to Costco more then once





i'm also cool with it cause I have a mom that is a car nut too. She drives her C5 daily and like a maniac (and gives my dad **** about getting her an automatic frequently)



I'll never forget when my bro got his boxster S, my mom pulled out of the driveway w/ a big fishtail and came back drifting around the corner. It was great, I had 2 friends there that just dropped jaw.

 

She made it back! She drove a civic for years prior to us getting married, so she's pretty good with a standard ( I was going to say stick, but that might have been taken the wrong way ). But thank god, she doesn't like the 640 HP!

 

 

I encourage my Wife to take my car on her Saturday morning weekly trip to see her Mother. It's a 22 mile highway drive and she loves it. Usually hits 120 to 130.
When we sometimes meet running errands etc., I switch cars with her so I can enjoy seeing my car on the road. It gives me a great visual sense of what I'm driving around in every day. I love that!
Ciao

 

That's a good idea. I've done that before too.

 

 

haha, I do the same
