Well, old topic but still. When I had my 914 I wasn't comfortable with my wife driving it due to how sloppy the shifter was. When I got the 911 I decided early on that I would find one in decent enough shape to where she would not have a problem driving it. She doesn't drive it much these days but before we had our first child she used to drive it like she stole it which I admired greatly, I had been looking forward to her first ticket but it never came.

My wife is my partner in all this and if she wants to drive my car there is no way I'm going to say no. Of course not every woman likes to do this sort of thing and if she wasn't good with a stick or something I might be wary. In that case I would get her good so that I Wouldn't have to worry about it. I would hate to have so little faith in someone for something so small. I have worked very hard to get where I am and get what I have and what I have learned from that work is that she matters much more than my things.

Once she had parked on the street at our gym and someone hit the driver's rear quarter panel while she was in there. She called me up hysterical but I was very calm. I asked her if she was okay and if the car was drivable. She wasn't sure so she walked home, which is only a 5 or so minute walk. I told her I didn't care about the car nearly as much as I cared about her and she should not be afraid to make this phone call in the future.

She can play with all of my toys.
