Would you let her drive your 911?
Would you guys let her drive you 911?
She hasn't driven fast cars before and the first time she drove it, she hit 120mph on a public road. I said "no more driving the 911, you're too dangerous". But she doesn't like the idea of this so I thought I'd put it to you guys. By the way, everything else she likes to do is fine with me

My girlfriend can't drive (as in she has a learner's licence) so making that decision is irrelevant for me...
I seem to remember you telling a story about her mixing up kph and mph Bill? Maybe she will be ok if "re-educated". Hehehe, I have a LHD, so my g/f can pretend she is driving if she wants.

You have PCA Drivers Ed type track days down there? Sounds like a prime candidate.

Errr, Cam, this is a bit awkward. This one is a different one.
Tom, if she ever got on the track she would loose it first corner. |

Too big to fail

My most recent g/f (whom I just dumped before V-Day to boost my 1st quarter pro-forma numbers) couldn't drive a stick, and was so dumb I wouldn't have let her even if she could.
 Her predecessor was a different story; I let her autocross it. On her first time out, she got her times down to within 1/2 second of mine!

Oh.... Bill. I seeeeeee.
Hmmm. Is there are chance that this is sort of a symptom of a problem of your own .I think the saying goes "fast cars and expensive women" not "expensive cars and fast women"

IMHO,women and machinery is a bad mix, generally speaking/writing. I think the problem started happening soon after they were allowed to wear shoes.

widebody911 i think you found a keeper, i'm in the wrong state/university, no one around here knows how to go fast safely, especially the women, oh ex-girlfriends were passengers, for obvious reasons

My wife does not like automatic transmissions. Perhaps it's because she really knows how to handle a STICK.
John, you have such an economy of words.

Hmmm, Thom, nice, but this time I'm going to have to vote for the redhead with the creamy white skin and the cute pink lips. Looks like a natural redhead too, mmmm, Nestle's quik, strawberry flavor. Yummy.
Uh, I have a horrible time letting mine drive. I do, but I cringe and worry until she comes back. She doesn't drive fast or crazy, she's just horrible with a manual tranny.

seems to me the women are usually the first to scratch the car, besides, does she let you sew?
Lets keep the girls outta the driver seat- or they take all your drivin time away for themselves. I am voting "NO" on proposition "69"- female p-car drivers. let her burn some track time in a ford or somthing worthless- rule #1 NEVER LOAN YOUR PORSCHE OUT(even if it is just the driver seat) Especially to a girlfriend- How would you feel if she wrecked it? Would she still be your girlfriend if she did? Can she change the oil? I didn't think so.

My philosophy if it has tits or wheels you gotta put up with the troubles it gives you .
On the other hand... If it flies ,floats ,four byes or ****s...RENT IT!

You guys've got to keep it on topic. Here, I'll help:
 That's her, right there in the middle. You might have to squint.
