My wife knows how to drive a standard, but she lacks concentration I think. she gets mad when I point things out like that was an illegal turn or whatever but I feel I have to especially when she's talking and talking, that's when I notice she's paying less and less attention. she won't check to see if anyone is running a red light but says, "well if they run it and smash my car it's there fault not mine." yes, that happened once. I just worry knowing that the z has blind spots and if someone isn't used to it something bad might happen. and no she won't be reading this any time soon I hope. and yes, I feel better.

My wife's first car was a 2013 Sentra, and by the time we sold it last year after two and a half years of ownership, the car literally looked like it was hit from five different directions simultaneously. 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

I have never seen a gal drive a 370 around here except for my wife and that's rare (see beginning of thread). and that's probably a good thing.
