bad spouse drivers?

My wife knows how to drive a standard, but she lacks concentration I think. she gets mad when I point things out like that was an illegal turn or whatever but I feel I have to especially when she's talking and talking, that's when I notice she's paying less and less attention. she won't check to see if anyone is running a red light but says, "well if they run it and smash my car it's there fault not mine." yes, that happened once. I just worry knowing that the z has blind spots and if someone isn't used to it something bad might happen. and no she won't be reading this any time soon I hope. and yes, I feel better.

My wife's first car was a 2013 Sentra, and by the time we sold it last year after two and a half years of ownership, the car literally looked like it was hit from five different directions simultaneously. I knew getting an inexperienced driver a new car wasn't the best idea, but it was her birthday gift. Besides, it was just a basic Sentra and I thought she'd be more careful considering the car came straight out the dealership. Big mistake. The first day she drove the car, she ran over some poor kid's skateboard, which somehow ricocheted and put a nice dent on the right rear door. She had three speeding tickets within a year, hit a grocery store wall and gouged the front bumper while trying to park, and scraped the right quarter panel twice while exiting the mall parking area. She also ran over a dog, which luckily for us, was already dead.

We just moved back to Germany not too long ago, so my wife technically doesn't have her own car right now. She occasionally drives my daily driver, a 2001 BMW 540i, and she's been great. She really loves the way the car drives and says it's leagues ahead of her Sentra, but somehow, she wants a 2005+ Porsche Boxster for her next car .

I have never seen a gal drive a 370 around here except for my wife and that's rare (see beginning of thread). and that's probably a good thing.

Z in the 6

Just starting to see a new girl and she has already expressed interest in driving my Z lol normally I would say 100% no go but she likes cars.. recently sold her RSX and wanted a new civic SI but for financial reasons is going with an older Mazda 3 all of which are/where manual, type of girl that when we go out says "I'll drive" soooo not use to this lol.. I'm predicting we'll be out one night and ill want to have an extra drink or two and toss her the keys... wish me luck lol

My ex totaled my challenger in a Walmart parking lot, she ran over two concrete parking dividers, she didnt see the first one and tried to pull forward out of the spot, then when she got stuck, she accelerated harder and ended up stuck on two. Never let her drive my cars after that. When her dad bought her a brand new Audi suv, for her birthday, he handed they keys to me instead lol.

You're a brave man....maybe she reads this forum as well. I simply wouldn't have the guts to let her drive mine. In 43 years of driving I've been lucky to be involved in one accident where my car was "T boned" at an intersection by a drunk driver. Some defensive driver education might by an idea and possible insurance discount. Just my 2 cents.

We bought the Z for my wife originally. She drives just fine and actually pays attention.

So I just got my 2010, and before this I had multiple Nissan 240sx's, all manual transmissions. Well the last 240 was a built SR20 and broke 8 transmissions. So, I just got an automatic for the first time LOL. I learned to drive my brother's manual 300zx though! And I will admit I did wreck one of the 240's.

As for the spouse thing, my few year boyfriend drives like an a$$ but he makes fun of other people that do. He will probably read this one day. He will probably not laugh. <3

It's not that my wife is a bad driver but she is a crash magnet. She has totaled two vehicles (a Jeep liberty & a Chevy aveo) plus one other wreck. None of them her fault. I would worry about her getting behind the wheel of the Z. Good for me that she doesn't even want to drive it.
