My wife is not a good High Speed passenger...
At 6am we had just completed the 20min trip to the airport to drop her for a 6:30 flight and she said..."Have you seen my drivers license? Last time I saw it it was on the kitchen table".. I looked at my watch and then at her and said "I can make it but you have to be quiet". 27min later we were back at the gate for the flight, license in hand. She was a little pale!

If he didn't mean it "in a good way", it's good thing you left him behind.

Jerry, if she'd said that after you spent a weekend replacing an auto with a manual, you'd have "won the thread".

Mine has never parked her car in the garage for more than a night in the 18 years we've been married. She believes this is normal. Her friends are incredulous. I just keep my mouth shut.
"Is it wrecked, or is that the way it came..."
Last weekend at an autocross the gf is sitting in the passenger seat in grid waiting for us to be sent to the start line. The car in front of us was an RX8 with a large, free flowing exhaust. As it takes off she says:
"That car sounds like dying babies"
I lost all mental focus.
Next favorite was my mother's quote after a track day in her new solstice. After a couple sessions she pulls into the paddock and says. "The car handles great but it needs more power. I keep getting passed by miatas on the straights." Dad and I look at each other, smiling..."Sure, we can fix that."
9 psi later, she is now complaining that the 'vettes won't let her pass because they can pull away from her on the straights.

isn't Russia in Asia not Europe...???
I thought it was always defined as eastern European....
might be... I thought eastern Europe would be the Baltic States, but since Russia goes all the way to the Pacific eastern Europe might be a stretch .... anyone know for sure ?
When going out to dinner with my two racing buddies and their SO in three cars," if you guys had a normal car we could all ride together and talk."
"Front wheel drive is better, right?"
Almost had to end it there, but sensibly explained the pro's and con's of each and why I thought RWD was better.

Wikipedia says "It extends across the whole of northern Asia and 40% of Europe."
"You can get any car you want as long as it has 4 doors, can fit two car seats in the back, gets good gas milage, parts are cheap, it is reliable, . . ."
After climbing out of her styepfathers plow truck "I want a truck."

"It has to be a manual. I HATE IT when the car tries do the thinking for me."
She hates it when I try, too...

Usual definition is that Europe stretches to the Ural mountains.

If I take more than a few minutes to pull out of my parking spot, I get a call on my cell, "What's wrong now?"
After driving my miata into town to pick up a pizza while we were having a "work" day in our driveway on several other miata, she declared "I want my miata to be as fast as yours" We added a RB header and Jackson CAI to her '92 yellow miata that she had previously insisted had to remain stock.
tonight she was describing my challenge car to a friend of hers and while describing the interior said, "it's all metal inside" which is factually accurate but just stuck me funny
Not my wife but my girlfriend...she believes that I would actually have sex with a car given the chance. I keep denying it but she refuses to believe me. haha
