Never. She only knows how to drive an automatic. End of discussion.

My wife drives mine. Stick is not a problem since she's from South America. She'd never driven an auto car until she came to the states. The only problem is that she drives like a rally car and traction control keeps her from sliding it around.

Our RX8 is actually her daily driver!!

I have a company truck, and our second vehicle is a GMC Yukon. Once the baby is here, she'll take over driving the Yukon as a daily, ad the Mazda will get a parking spot and a car cover. huge difference between the tiny little Mazda, and the small house sized Yukon. In the winter it's a different story. If it's sunny she gets the Mazda, and I get the Yukon. If it's crappy weather she wants the 4wd, and security of the Yukon.

Every now and then she comes home with a story of "Some punk kid" in the lane next to her, and how she "made it beep once or twice" to prove her point!

The perspective from the flip side...

I'm a chick....

The ex boyfriend...HECK NO!! He only stopped when he ran into something...

The new (and improved, much improved) boyfriend .....YES...anytime!!

He's probably more meticulous with it than I am....

I just don't see how you couldn't share the experience with your SO. Granted, I have the girl of my dreams, and now the car of my dreams.... So it only makes sense that the two overlap, no?

I let my wife drive mine only when necesary. She really doesnt like driving it anyway so its only happened a couple times.
