do you share?

[bluelion]

i've let the wife drive it a couple times with me in the passenger seat. then she drove it once to the grocery store while i waxed her car.... she doesn't feel comfortable driving stick....although she did comment on how quick it is compared to her car (saturn sky non-turbo)
and my brother. he's driven it to go pick up his daughter from school when i'm parked behind him. niece's school is only a couple miles away from his house.

Only me.

Ocassionally my mom, and very very rarely my Dad but I hate when he drives it because he just doesn't give a s*** about cars... he'll beat on it and I'll find new dings and scratches and s*** after he's driven it.

He drove it once with the current mods on it and says to me: "something is wrong with your car. After you get past the gurgle of whatever the hell you did with the exhaust, things start 'sliding all over the place'".
Me: "Does it sorta sound like a high pitched whine or sucking and when you shift a 'ca-chunk' or whistley-'shwaping' sound? Because it's supposed to do that."
Dad: "oh... ok."

haha, exactly like my dad. I don't let him drive it. He cant drive a stick worth s***, and he thinks hes cool and just beats the s*** out of it. He would curb the rims, and rip off the bumper from a parking spot, I just know it.

do you share your MS3 with anyone?.... i guess i should call mine a loaner, as lately the wife has been hogging the speed. well, i guess it is her car, after all. but geez. i love the way she gripes about the ride, noisy tires, loud exhaust, crummy radio (she's used to me putting 'systems' in her cars, i'm at a loss with this one), etc. but every time i ask which car she wants... 'i'm taking the speed, hon'..... never mind the 4 runner or the tundra...

then calls me to ask if she is faster than some other car... i always tell her, 'only one way to find out!'

the baby ratted her out the other day when from the back seat, 'daddy, you drive slow more than mommy. go faster'




so do you share your speed? i don't really have a choice, but do you let others drive it? do you share it with your spouse? any funny stories? i know i have a few..... also, there is no way dad and sis are going to miss a chance to flog a car i own (you should have seen how fast pops could shift sissy's rsx-s) we kind of enjoy punishing each others stuff. i've been punishing dad's stuff for years. .... so i have to turn over the keys sometimes... sissy was twisting it within the first week we got it... she absolutely loves this car. her poor rsx-s was totaled in front of her house by a drunk dude one night, so she likes to get a fix sometimes....

i guess i share mine... with a certain few. a few of my friends i would NEVER leave alone with this car.

when are you going to ask for your ballsack back?

girlfriend

wife

Anybody else see a problem here?

I remember when my brother was dating a cop and a deputy sheriff at the same time. He told me, "if you ever find my body riddled with bullets from both sides, you`ll know they found out about each other."

 

[paylew]

Alright meicalnissyen, time to explain! LOL


My husband drives the speed as much as possible. If he ever has to go somewhere when I'm home from work, he's in my car.

Whenever i first bought my car, the GF would bug me to let her drive it... best way to take care of that is a TBE and a motor mount.. now she wont go near it, and she tells me my car is falling apart and its too loud and I need a new car...

 

[camrycev6]

I actually went as far as to teach my g/f how to drive a manual in my speed3. She did all the things you would expect... Dump the clutch, jackrabbit starts, etc. She drives in like a champ now... Well, she still has to work on her actual driving, but she drives it just fine.

???? care to explain?

 

[FOGMIC 3]

LOL be glad you have a wife that's into cars period lol. I hear so many sob stories from guys who's gf's or wives don't like cars at all lol.....

 

[destrux]

My wife drives it, although she scares me with how she drives. Shes a good driver, she just scares me. I probably scare her too though. (drive2)

I used to let my friends drive my eclipse when we went camping and I got loaded and couldn't drive it home myself. Ah, to be a teenager again...

That eclipse also converted alot of them... my friends were all V8-heads. A car that can break the tires loose at 70mph on dry roads has an effect on people.

I don't have a MS3, but I figured I would chime in. About 9 months ago I was in the market for a new car for my wife. She was driving our 02 P5 when it was retired (by a snow plow), so off we go to get her a newer Mazda. She just wanted something bigger, so we were looking at some used MPV's. I let her do a few weeks of research (cramming the whole everyone in my car for family outings), then one evening I sent her a link to an MS6 selling at a local dealer. She liked the look and size of the car, and when I told her it was AWD she was sold. We went to pick the car up a few days later (at night). We went to the grocery store early the next day and had the following conversation:

Me: "so what do you think?" (First time she drove the car)
Wife: "I love it.....I can believe you got me such a nice car!" (walking to away now)
Me: "Ya its nice"
Wife: "Feels faster that the Bumble Bee (yellow P5)"
Me: (Laughing) "Just a bit" (Smiling)
Wife: "Its got to be heavier that the P5, how can it be faster"
Me: "It has more power"
Wife: "but you said it had the same # of cylinders?"
Me: "It does..."
Wife: "I don't understand...."
Me: "Its got a turbo"
Her: (looking back at the car) "Oh......wait a second, I the daytime its purple." (Black cherry)
Me: (Smile)
Her: (looking pissed all of a sudden) "so let get this strait.....you got me a four door turbo charged sports car, that is your color."
Me: (Smiling huge)
Her: "I guess you have two cars now and I am just borrowing one".
Me: "Let's get in to the store its cold out here" (I am just barely smart enough not to answer her last question.)


Another interesting conversation happened recently when I was driving and she was in the car with me. We were not in a rush or anything and I am generally a pretty mellow driver. Im cruising down the road and this guy in a WRX passes me, he was doing 43 and I was going 40.
Wife: Are you going to let him do that?
Me: Do, What?
Wife: Pass us.
Me: sure, he is going faster than I am.
Wife: If I was driving, that would never happen.
Me: Are you serious?
Wife: Yep
Me: No one ever passes you
Wife: Nope
Me: Ever
Wife: Never!
From the back seat: Mom never lets other cars pass her dad, shes fun to ride with.


I know this post is off topic but this is meant to be a warning to all of you out there. Im not sure what I did wrong, but I created a monster, and she wont let me pas her either (Ive tried, and Im not crazy enough to do what it would take). I suppose I should apologize to all the north Chicago suburban drivers for her behavior.

ROFL that's awesome! Cool wifey!

I know the feeling. My wife drives a 4 door Ram 1500 like it`s a sports car. Which is a lot of fun on the winding NC back roads, let me tell you. Her favorite expression when behind the wheel (other than "get the hell out of my lane!") is, "I have a Hemi and I`m not afraid to use it."
She drives like taillights in front of her are a personal insult.

well, its called separated

not such an extremely odd situation, I like my wife. she is crazy, and I can't live with her, and I am a pompous ass an she can't live with me.

very simple

 

[meicalnissyen]

I. I suppose I should apologize to all the north Chicago suburban drivers for her behavior.

AHHH makes sense now

the one thing I miss about cook county

I have lived in a whole buncha places, and I always enjoy how well that area drives
lane usage, merging, taking your f%$in turn when it is your turn

just seems to be fewer douches on the road

screw the weather though, salt, slush, dead batteries, shoveling snow

I let my roommate drive me home from the bar a mile from our house one time when i was drunk. But thats as far as my sharing goes.

 

[J-Speed Inc.]

Let my buddy drive my car after I made my short shifter plate, but he has an MS3 as well so I wasn't worried.

Also let my mom take my car the week she was here visiting, pretty sure she was in boost the entire time she was driving it, terrible mileage when she was behind the wheel. She'd pick me up from work saying, "wow, this car is fast." When she'd drop me off, I'd hear her turn the corner then heading straight, BPV chirping in every gear.

A mom who drives manual? That's a cool mom right there.
