I knew getting an inexperienced driver a new car wasn't the best idea, but it was her birthday gift. Besides, it was just a basic Sentra and I thought she'd be more careful considering the car came straight out the dealership. Big mistake. The first day she drove the car, she ran over some poor kid's skateboard, which somehow ricocheted and put a nice dent on the right rear door. She had three speeding tickets within a year, hit a grocery store wall and gouged the front bumper while trying to park, and scraped the right quarter panel twice while exiting the mall parking area. She also ran over a dog, which luckily for us, was already dead.

We just moved back to Germany not too long ago, so my wife technically doesn't have her own car right now. She occasionally drives my daily driver, a 2001 BMW 540i, and she's been great. She really loves the way the car drives and says it's leagues ahead of her Sentra, but somehow, she wants a 2005+ Porsche Boxster for her next car :bowrofl:.

I thought of this after my wife would have hit someone if I hadn’t warned her and of course she got all defensive. Too bad her driving isn’t defensive. Arr arr! So overall she’s not bad but she has her moments. Like on our second date when she hit my car! She rolled forward on my hilly driveway with her manual 5.0 mustang and hit my monte carlo ss. Plus she’s had 2 accidents where her car almost got totaled. Or when she hit a car at a stop light when she was watching the cute cows in the field. Or when she hit a car backing out of our driveway on 2 different occasions. Plus she’s been stopped for speeding a couple of times and other violations but has always got off without a ticket. I know this sounds bad but this is in 27 years of marriage. But you can understand why I worry and cringe when she ever takes my car! Oh yeah and once she went to take my supra turbo out for a drive but she got out to run back inside for something, forgot to set the parking brake and it rolled with the driver’s door opened and crunched against the garage door frame, wedging the car and bending back the door like a pop top on a can of beer. But she is getting better. Her current car is 13 years old and has very few boo boos. Anyone else?
