Well, my GF rides a Triumph 675 sportsbike, drives a stick Mitsubishi, and pilots helicopters... and she's kind of cute too -- hence, I voted "I always let her drive my Porsche because I'm a wuss."

Call me slow...I just dont get the point of this???

you mean there are women who are able to drive a manual transmission?

learn something new everyday...

p.s.
I know one girl with a stick shift (mini cooper) I always ask her to let me drive and she always insist I do the same with the Boxster....grrr.

as for the GF driving the porsche? well, i tought her to drive stick on it. then, we got her a G35 coupe. now we're teaching her to drive the porsche on the race track. suprisingly, she's fairly quick already!

funny thing is she scares the hell out of me on the street because she seems absent minded. on the track, though, i feel safe with her behind the wheel. i guess speed really does make people focus...

Call me slow, I don't know what point you're referring to.

No, that's Helimot himself (the leather manufacturer), I'm the guy shooting that dinky video. If you haven't seen those yet, here are two more of those silly videos:

It starts at the top of the page and extends to the bottom....

"I guess you did not see the grinning emoticon in my post. This is inserted to suggest that the post was IN JEST!

I guess bashing is in the eye of the beholder?"

Check your posts -- I did the grinning emoticon, too; thus I do grasp the meaning (you'll note, however, I did not feel the need to capitalize).

I guess I see no place for comments or polls that, even jokingly, that simply degrade woman as being poor drivers or those that assert one is not a "man" should he treat his g/f/wife as... dare I say... equal? Of course, now we know where you stand, and likewise where I do.

See, I used a[(n) approved] "winking" emoticon. I wonder what I mean...

Agreed!! Pointless.

pointless indeed...

Anyway, the Boxster is my daily driver, I'll let her drive if she wants to but she rarely asks (might have something to do with the fact that one of the first times she did she backed into a concrete pillar...) When we autocross it certainly is 50/50, in fact she likes autocrossing the boxster more than our miata which is our primary autox car.

I agree -- the point is as pointless as commenting on this thread.
