She said, "yes I want to see why wanted this car so much".

(can't think of a good excuse for her not to take it)

So I said, "well let me turn it around and get the seat jacked up so you can see"

As she left she smiled menacingly and said, "I'll TRY not to wreak it"

She rolled to the end of the driveway and while I stood there sweating. WIDE OPEN THROTTLE FIRST GEAR ALL THE WAY TO REDLINE!!! I hear the motor wind back down and wait for the crash sound. But nothing...

So I go inside and call her, "Did you figure out how to take it out of manual?"

She said "Yep, I got it" as I hear the car screaming down the road in the background.
Lol, I know how you feel, I used to be the same way but now I just let her do her thing. Only thing i stay on top of her for is parking too close to the entrance at the grocery store and shopping malls where all the 300 pounders get out and slam their door into the car.
