She drives the Camaro once in a while, but I don't think she would drive the Chevelle even if I offered (which I am not going to.)

Our daughter has our/her new Camaro at college.

But she does let me drive it.

brtaus · 01-21-2010, 04:08 PM

I have no choice; without the wife's income, I don't have one.

Michael_Js · 01-21-2010, 04:10 PM

Yup, she doesn't choose to though. She's VERY nervous about driving my Baby. She knows what it means to me. She has driven it a couple of times alone out of necessity - I needed her truck. I am a bit nervous when she does since I know the small damage she's caused to her own truck, but, I'm ok with it.

nope, but she cant drive stick anyway. sucks to be her!

Black SSnake · 01-21-2010, 04:20 PM

Ohhh yeah she drives it..I even put personalized license plates with HER nickname on it.I love that car and her too ! dont want to see anything happen to either one of em.It's not a daily driver so we both enjoy it when we can.

I trust my wife implicitly. She can drive better than most men.

My garage is very difficult to get the Camaro in and out of, due to the water softner tank sticking out in the way...soon to be moved... Guys were doing a home theatre install while I am here in Brazil and they needed to access the attic via the garage entrance... My wife pulled the car out of the garage, just far enough to open the drivers door to get out, and parked it right there until they were done.. She then backed it into the garage...I have boards bolted to the garage floor as stop blocks...

She said it was "intoxicating" I believe is the word she used... the rumble and growl when she started it, knowing all that power was at her beck and call...but, she said that was enough... She can drive a stick, but admits a car is just a mode of transport to her, but she knows that Brandi is special to me, so while she jokes about it and I've offered, she is content to co-pilot/navigate/chit chat/nap/look good/etc...

only when i am drunk

Need an option "No I bought stick so she couldn't"

tightchevelle69 · 01-21-2010, 06:28 PM

there needs to be another option. The camaro is hers!

it actually is my wifes daily driver. we traded in her suv for it. i could go trade in my truck on one, but dont want to have a payment!

Ravirn · 01-21-2010, 06:30 PM

My wife has driven a stick as long as I have... and NO... she won't be touching it. Why? Too much horsepower. Letting her drive would be tantamount to putting the nuclear missiles launch button in the hands of a child.

She's content to sit in the passenger seat and feel the rumble through the seat. Hmmm....

I know what's going through her mind. It's even better when the subwoofer is cranked.
