Do you let the significant other drive your evo?

Been teaching the wife how to drive the evo. she hasnt been stalling, but she has a hard time taking the e-brake off (uses both hands) and between 2nd and 3rd is a lil difficult for her. lastly, stopped to moving takes her a few seconds.

question is, do you, or would you let your significant other drive your Evo?

So far, I have let me wife get behind the wheel once. She doesn't know a clutch. She stalled it a couple times but wasn't too bad with it. Sometime soon I will take her out again to play... She hates the Evo and calls it the Tin Can.. It is AS... The ride is too stiff, it's too noisy...yada, yada...

Yes, she drives a slobalt SS everyday so she's somewhat use to boosted cars. She also drove my 05 STI a few times when I was way too drunk to get home from the bar.

Yes. She drove it at CMP and spun it twice, once at over 100 MPH. I was proud.

And my two oldest sons. And my dad. And my uncle. And my friends who race.

It is just a (very fast and fun) car.


Now, if all your friends, family, and significant others are crazy and broke...

I let an sti guy drive it, a buddy who has a slobalt lt, the brother in law who has a fart-4, and the guys at spec ops who fixed and tuned it. I don't mind it, unless they stall bunny hop or any other destructive actions.

I let my wife drive my car if need be. She doesn't like driving it though. She likes her automatic Honda civic

I taught my fiance how to drive a stick with it, so yes. She doesn't drive it much, but occasionally. Mostly, its just moving it around when I'm on a business trip, but she took it to school for a week when she was having car issues.
