Thanks.

My first time with my friend and she grabs the sides and looks scared as heck.

I was driving on 17 this past weekend (anyone in South Florida knows this road)-its straight as a ruler and about 60 miles...one lane each way, speed limit 60. CC on about 68...for about 15 minutes when i run up to TWO slow cars, going about 57. My wife is playing a game on her cell phone, I drop to third and throw the hammer down. She gets pinned back in her seat and her cell phone smashes against her forehead!! She had a red spot for a day!! I couldnt stop laughing!!!

Something wrong with your g/f.

M wife loves it when I push the cars. Giggles and wants more, which means a SC is a win-win for me when I have funds. :P

If I wreck with a passenger in the car, I can't live with the lack of responsibility I showed towards their trust in me and their lively hood (should they have been hurt).

:iagree:
I don't ever drive outside my ability and I am more conservative when I'm not alone.

Yeah. I don't know my ability yet. :icon17:

I need to find an empty parking lot and have some fun and learn some things.

My wife bitches at me all the time to slow down on curves and turns. I just ignore her for the most part. She knows I can handle the Z and is much better now - she just closes her eyes, grabs the handle on the door, and shuts up. I'm considering installing an Oh $hit handle on the passenger side A-pillar for her :icon17:

To be fair to her, she drives the car pretty aggressively herself. But one of the first times we cruised with another group of Z's (a couple years ago), I pushed it really hard on Lime Creek and had wheels off the road several times, which made her very uncomfortable. I was leading a group with the fast guys following first, and I didn't want to disappoint them :driving:

It took a year or so after that before she would let me spin the wheels on purpose without yelling at me (although I do have to wait until they're nearing replacement or else she bitches about wasting tread). Since I DD the Z, I get plenty of opportunity to drive hard without her in the car.

I drive differently with passengers, because I'm responsible for them should anything happen.

I dunno, I guess it's part of being a mature adult.

:iagree:

The few times are when my wife comes along for a cruise with some fellow Z owners - sometimes those cruises are very relaxed and sometimes they are very spirited.

I definitely recommend the parking lot practice :driving:

the one time my wife rode shotgun she fell a sleep saying she liked the sound of the fujimura, how firm yet smooth my Z rides, and just overall a very plesant cocoon like place to be.


/thread!! :mad:

My wife loved going on mountain cruises with the group in San Diego. But she still hates when I take on/off ramps rather quickly.

Same here, my wife likes the straight line speed, but hates the ramps. In my Evo she did not mind, but in the Z she said "the car doesn't feel as sticky". lol

When the girlfriend is in the Z. and we are at a stoplight and another cars wants to have some fun. I ask here to step out of the car. The extra 125 lbs. will slow me down.

"and I lived to write this post "
