Nope, Nada, No Way...... in fact I traded the girl for the Boxster. So far even with the repairs the Boxster has been way cheaper!!

Re: "the learner"

i actually WANTED to teach my GF more on the porsche, but she refuses.
she drives OK, but shes not all that confident.
so in short yes, i would let her drive it, and i insisted, but she wouldn't drive it haha

A very close second goes to the car... unless you guys have found some pleasure hole to use in the exhaust or something! Haha..
Anyway, I have tried to teach my wife the hole manual thing, but she is more afraid of breaking the car than learning. It is tough sometimes when we are out and I really dont feel like driving home. She claims it is more enjoyable as a passenger anyway. OK

That's nothing to worry about. I have twin boys turning 16 in 2 weeks. Guess what they want to learn to drive? Now THAT is something to worry about! The reality is that I want to share the experience with them (with me in the car, of course) as my dad did with me in his new Cadillac way back in 1975. The only issue I have is them learning to shift gears. That is better done on a cheap used beater car, which i do not own...yet. My wife has no interest in shifting gears in any car so no worries there.

I was all like, well its only a boxster, then I looked and saw you have a brand new S... changes everything. I learned on my friends cars, they can do the same. Until they are perfect shifters dont let them drive. lol
