Who Drives Your Boxster?

[cbenitah]

I hear you on the low shifting.. My fiance said she knew how to shift and her dad told her always to shift below 2.5k. Well please not on my car.

She now finally has a car and she told me I can't drive it.. Fine I drive mine and you drive yours. By the time she reached her destination I have had a or two

Well, I've only had mine three days so far, and only I've driven it. I took my dad for a ride and that's the only person who's even ridden in it yet. Nobody really seems all that interested. Now, my brother has some coworkers that have been wanting to see it though.

I would let my parents or my brother drive it, but I honestly don't think they want to. Beyond my family, I'd be willing to let another person drive it who has a respect for it and can afford to fix it if they mess it up. I'd also be willing to let a friend drive it if I drink too much, which happens on rare occasions.

I've only had a friend drive it once as my wife doesn't know how to drive a manual yet.

My wife will drive my car, when I have had too much to drink She then gets mad at me because I need to tell her ahead of time that she is gonna drive as she likes to wear the right shoes for it. Also she is always telling me to slow down, but when she drives she starts racing people. She did not like it when I put on the ssk as she is still not use to shifting quickly from 2nd to 3rd, I don't want her to get use to it as she will keep asking me to borrow my car.

Let my dad drive it once when I purchased the car, my brother twice (upon purchase and after my header install), and then, it's only been MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Thank goodness! :dance:

I have discovered that about 90% of the shoes in my closet are not the "right" shoes for this car. Today I drove to work barefoot.

What are the wrong shoes? I like driving with heels and 'platforms'. Flats are OK, but i have to be closer to the steering wheel.

I wanted to spend some time goofing around in the mountain twisties one Sunday. My [former] boyfriend grudgingly consented to go. A third of the way, I gave him the key. He never gave the driving back to me, and complained the whole time about EVERY thing [fit, visibility, a German word on a display, etc.] What a jerk. I could have had FUN. My nephews want to drive it, but they have to learn manual shift so it will be a while. I let two enthusiasic friends drive it. They were appreciative and had a blast. I like driving cars, and appreciate anyone that will let me at the wheel of their cool ride, so I like to share the same opportunity.

Mainly I meant heels, which is 99% of what I wear during the week when I work. Anything with a flat heel is okay probably, but I can't drive it in high heels.
