Who Drives Your Boxster?

[nola911]

My wife tried one time, a year ago. I was a good sport and kept my mouth shut as I was bouncing like a bronco.. She saw the stress in my eyes and hasn't asked to drive it again.

I think we will try again soon, it would be a great car for her to play with if she can learn it.

Me, Me, & ummm Me.

Not my Father, Not my Mother, Not my Brother, Not my Sister.

If that was the only car left at home and one of them needed to go somewhere they know to call a cab instead. I have trained them all well.

Oh and in case of emergency dial 9-1-1.

My wife is a very capable Box driver and will take it on occasion to "arrive at parties".
Otherwise she says it's too firm and sporty so she prefers the Lexus.

My experience was somewhat similar, in that I encouraged my wife to give it a try, but she did not seem too comfortable with it. The funny part: I selected a Tiptronic with her in mind (as well as the traffic jams here) but I think it was the low-slung seating position and no roof that had her 'off-balance'. This try was within a week or so of the purchase (a few weeks ago). It was only after that experience that she realized she had never even been in a convertible (She's from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and now that I think of it, I don't think I've even seen a convertible in all the times I've visted there....).

It did not help that there must have been some LEO action going on in the industrial area that I had her driving, and there were marked cars seemingly around every corner, which, when coupled with my 'instruction', made her more than a litte nervous ...
