While driving through a small nearby town last Saturday, I saw a Torch Red GT sitting in a driveway. I noticed a guy sitting on the porch, so I turned around to check it out. We were looking it over and he mentioned how great the exhaust sounds. I told him I test drove one last November, and have one on order. Since that was the last time I heard one, I asked him to fire it up. He sheepishly said, "well, I can't. It's my wife's car and she's not home. She took both sets of keys with her!" I was cracking up big time!!

Is this common for women owners? Do you ladies trust you husbands/boyfriends with the keys?

 

Me being me...if it was my wife's car, she probably wouldn't want me to drive it either.

 

Maybe so, but would she take both sets of keys with her??

 

Wow that's hilarious

 

Yikes, that's paranoia.

If I don't want my wife to drive my car, I just buy a stickshift. She's scared to death of them.

 

i hope everybody in that family wears pants

 

There's not a chance in H my boyfriend will drive my car! :nono: I love him for many reasons, but his driving is unfortunately not one of them. A vehicle for him is strictly to get from point A to point B, and the driving experience is meaningless to him, so, umm, NOOOOO!

 

My boyfriend has driven my car on a few occasions with me in the car, kinda like his present for being a good little boy. But, there is no way that I would trust him to drive it alone.

 

I wonder what else she takes with her when she leaves home?

 

I know I'm laughing....

 

....Probably something to kill that bug up her A--. A little too possessive for my tastes

 

My Car, My keys If I go somewhere, Eleanor comes with.

Although he did help me on the road trip when I needed a nap.

 

Maybe she has the keys to his car as well as the keys to the chain that keeps him on the porch.

 

 

Thats classic! We both share keys to all the vehicles. I would never tell my husband what he could or couldn't drive, especially since he pays for everything. Him=good job, Me=slacker B)

 

My husband drives my current car, but when I get my Mustang next year I may let him take it for a little test drive like when I got my 98'. I got the car as a Standard five speed. I had never driven a stick, so he drove it home. Next morning we went to the park for me to learn how to drive it. He never drove it after that. I had the car for two years.
Anytime we go anywhere I do the driving. His driving drives me crazy. I am not a good passenger.
Mechanically I never let him touch my cars. If possible I do it myself be it air filters, oil changes, fluids stuff like that.

 

My husband has his keys to my Mustang and I have no problem with that. Whenever we go somewhere I always let him drive. What worries me is the few times he takes her out by himself......He has wrecked all four vehicles I have ever owned, three of them at least twice!

He almost lost all Mustang privliges the first night I brought the car home: ran over a bale of hay, turned it sideways while trying to "see what she'll do", narrowly missed a mailbox before nearly ending up in the ditch literally within the first 3 minutes of driving the car. But, the "new" is wearing off for him and he has regained his senses while behind the wheel.

 

Holy crap! I think you should reconsider. If I was your husband I would expect you to take the keys from me.

 

Sweet Mother! I'm not going anywhere near your town. Heres a funny bumper sticker I saw in Yuma, AZ one time "Helen Keller is alive and well and driving in Yuma".

 

The wifey and I share keys, but I drive my 'stang and she drives her Beetle. It's not a male vs female thing, it is just a pain to keep adjusting each other's mirrors and seat backs each time we get into a car around here.
