Ok fellas (sorry ladies), I know you can relate to this since you are all sensative to your new baby. Spring is finally here in the tri-state area and my wife wakes me up and says with a great big smile, can I take your car to work today!!!! I tried to play groggy and acted like I did not hear her, but she asked again and I had to say ok. Now I'm scared as heck to what the condition of my brand new 05 Silver GT will be in when she brings it back later on tonight. I let her drive it before, but I was in the car. As you all know the hood is kind of long and she is not a very tall person so I saw her struggling with seeing over the hood. There was no way I could have avoided this one.
Thoughts??

I let a female friend of mine drive my car once in a while, she enjoys it and drives nice. She was definitely scared of the car the first time I handed her the keys. I'm trying to get her interested in buying one eventually.

Hey man, just remember, you're married... the car's half hers.
Your half's the driver's side and her half is the passenger side!
j/k ladies.
My wife can't drive stick either, but she wants to learn so she can drive the stang. I understand. Mine's got to learn to drive stick first, then maybe we'll talk.

My husband drove mine for the first time on the road trip. She was A-okay.
He was not impressed with the non amount of room. Of course my kid was in the back seat behind him.
I ask him to drive her all the time, and he always declines. He has not yet drove her without me in the car, through no amount of begging of me...
Me- why don't you take yellanor? Him- no thank you.

A woman who can't drive stick? Horrors! 
That's the very first thing my husband taught me when we were dating- how to drive stick.
Speaking of, If I hadn't had to get a car that day because of the bronco going RIP- Mine woulda been a five speed. I am not unhappy with an auto,simply because it was the only choice I had, but I woulda loved to smoke it with a stick.

You'll get a kick out of this, then. I have been waiting almost 4 months to get my car. I looks like I might get it tomorrow.(Monday) But on Tuesday, I have to drive myself and my two kids up to the ferry in B.C. to pick up my wife's mom. She is coming to babysit. So the first one to drive the car to work will be my wife, because I will need the 4-door for the trip. :bang: 
I'm not too worried, though. She used to race autocross..........and win!
