Just curious on how many of you let your wife or husband drive your car? My wife practically begs me to let her have the car for the day. Hell, she even named the car first! She just loves driving it. I just can't figure out why yet. she hated the Trans Am I had but she does miss the good speakers that the Trans Am came with. I am usually on pins and needles when she drives the stook. But so far so good with nothing happening to it. So I have compromised and let her have it twice a week.

Jeffrey...should I tell her get her own?

I don't think I could let anybody else drive by s2k. I love the car too much to let others mess it up.

My husband and I share the car. It's way too much fun to keep it to one's self.

My wife has driven the car; however, she is hesitant to do so for fear of getting a scratch or dent on it. I hate to admit that I have done very little to discourage that feeling in her. Besides, I think she really prefers her cushy Accord V-6 coupe. . . yeah, that's the ticket.

I let my Gf drive my car all the time. You wouldn't believe some of the stories she tells me of people riding up on her and staring while she's driving the car. Hot chick + hot car means lot of stares I guess

my wife surprised me a lot by the way she took to the stook.
She's pretty careful ( does saying that court trouble )so I dont really mind her driving it. downside is I have to take the civic

My wife loves her truck, and will drive the S2k only when necessary.

My wife pretty much made me buy the car for her (actually, she wanted the Audi TT but a flatly refused to by an underpowered front wheel drive squashed Beetle). On a rare occasion she will let me take if for a spin (if I'm good).

If she's in the passanger seat with me driving she mostly complains about me reving it to high. That just makes me want to drive the car more often without her in it.
