Newbie question, apologies in advance... what’s the “significant other” situation at these rides? My wife surprisingly has expressed an interest in coming with me.

A lot of us who have significant others drag them along!

My wife enjoys these events because we have made lots of friends from all over!

This sounds to me like you are part of a fairly elite group of original owners and if you haven't wrecked your car yet, you will be fine,. If you don't listen to the newbie riot act speech and prefer spirited driving, don't under estimate the value of fresh extreme performance tires.

Thanks, I was already anticipating new rubber before taking it on, spirited drive or not.
