attitude adjustable?
My wife likes my Boxster because its a convertible, noticed right away how much more stable it is than the Miata I had, and being a capable person generally can deal with a gear shift. But she cares nothing for speed, straight or curved. Really does not see the point, considers it man-child weirdness, a waste of money.

Has anyone gotten a woman with this attitude to change, and appreciate the car by, for instance, taking her to an AutoCross?

Rapid motion through space elates one; so does notoriety; so does the possession of money.

Well, as I stated earlier, my GF is a freak -- she not only pilots helicopters but also takes her moto-bike regularly to the race track. Hence, I voted "I always let her drive my Porsche because I'm a wuss."

Yep! See my post above. When I mention I am buying something for our autox car, she always asks will it make us go faster? If it's not a go-fast part she does not approve
