We only have manuals. She likes the car riding or driving. She also like coming to DE's but would not drive in a DE. I have to also add the car is closer to a track car than a street car.

My wife is the perfect Porsche passenger which works well because I'm not! She has accompanied me on many driving vacations and has only complained once when I was doing mild 4 wheel drifts climbing Beartooth mountain on the way into Yellowstone, something about no guardrails.

She is an accomplished driver with many lady class autocross wins in the 70s, but I do all the driving on trips. She usually drives the 3.6 Boxster when going solo.

We bought our first Porsche in 74 just 2 years after getting married, what a trip with a fantastic girl and and a long line of fun cars.
