Yep... quickly figured this out the first time I drove my Z and squealed the tires on my way out of the dealer :ugh2:

We really have to go there?
Let's see here.....
Eclipse Turbo parked on top of a guard rail ......check
My Audi I just redid the front suspension and new rims & tires.....curbed it cracked the rim and rack ...check
Supercharged Bonneville into deer check
V8 Grand Cherokee meets her driving drunk......check..... it made it home with no dents but also no bumpers (this was many years ago though)
Brand new Nissan Frontier with 2 mysterious dents in the hood ...check
She doesn't get to drive my Z! I bought her a brand new car so she has that.

My wife has driven my Z a couple times and hates it, which I'm ok with. She loathes the fact that I've installed performance parts because: "It doesn't ride nice, it's loud, and it stinks like gas".

...

Mission accomplished.

I live in Fayette County! I took 1 out with a VW Scirocco that looked like it just rolled off the showroom floor a few years back so I am ever watchful now.

You got a PM brother.

My wife runs over curbs when making right turns. That's OK in her Land Cruiser BUT NOT IN MY Z!

plus my wife LOVES to drive in the fast lane all the time. once she told me a story of a cop getting behind her and coming over the loud speaker yelling at her. :roflpuke2: and she's arguing with him that she did nothing wrong and he's going on and on. too funny, and not surprising at all.

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 :bowrofl:.

Our wives must be related on some level,lol My brother wants the same car as your wife. He also drives like our wives lol. He has caved in 2 beds on our work trucks backing trailers in recently.

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. :rofl2:

My wife is actually the main driver of our '11 370Z. It's her daily driver/winter beater. She has never done anything close to the horrors mentioned here. I'm actually quite proud of her driving.
