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.

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.

My girlfriend has a Miata, stick of course. She has never even had a car with an automatic. She drives in Chicago traffic everyday and I've never heard a complaint. The only accident I remember her having was some idiot on Lake Shore Drive changing lanes right into her. Claimed her car was too small to see....makes me fear for Motorcyclists. My wish is that they would ban SUVs in the Loop. Actually I wish we had a nationwide ban on SUVs, but that's just me. Free up lots of street parking that's for sure. Why anyone needs a SUV or 4X4 in a big city is beyond me, yet they dominate around here. Sorry, Off Topic I know.

wow...

there was a guy pickup driver contractor type this am in my community pulling his largish trailer with tools. he was backing his trailer into one of the visitors parking spots and i lol'ed as his trailer crashed into a tree and this tools on the trailer fell off.

datz wat u get for blocking the faking road while i patiently waited for his lame driving arse.

My GF drives a stick and likes going fast, but that doesn't make her a good driver. She's not defensive at all and IMO is sometimes reckless.

The first day I got my Z she asked to drive (I knew she would get upset if I didn't let her)... Those were the longest 20 minutes of my life!

Fortunately when she was backing up into the garage, the back tires started spinning and she started getting nervous until she finally gave up and gave me the keys. After that she says she doesn't want to drive it anymore.

My dad has poor feelings in his legs but used to drive manual. My Mazdaspeed was behind his truck one day, so he grabbed the keys and proceeded to do a burnout backwards out of the driveway, then creeped the car back in and never drove it again.

My mom, who drives a manual Civic used to have to move my car so she could go anywhere. She realized she barely had to give the car any gas to move it in and out of the driveway.

Neither of them wants to drive the Z ever.
