The first thing my girl did when she got in my F was put it into SPORT mode. I saw a whiplash effect when she took off, and the next thing I knew I was stuck babysitting her niece and she's out getting groceries at Albertson's for the next hour. She came back and said that she parked it as far away from the other cars as possible. She also said she was constantly bumping the back of her head with the headrest from every stop and go area, whether it be a stop light or a stop sign. Fun times...

My wife loves to take my car. I'm the one that has to tell her to leave it out of sport mode and don't be racing people. She took it one day and a guy cut her off. So she decided to floor it past him and show him the joe z exhaust. Lol. So its my worst nightmare when the wife has to use my car.

Perhaps you should tell her you're going to cite her for exhibition of speed, that'll calm her down?

My wife drives an ls. She hates my isf. I have the e/h/I combo. She hates it. Just too loud. She once took and came back 5 mins later and switched cars. Said she couldn't take it .

My wife said she loves driving my F but comes back with her shoulders and neck all tense. I think its because she has a lead foot and she's so cautious when driving it she can't get comfortable. Seriously, my avg mpg goes to **** when I get the car back.

My wife doesn't get any reason why there is a need to mod my F, I told her that 5 trips to salon for her equals what I paid for my Joe Z exhaust and that I will mod the car how I want. Once again this conversation may or may have not happened, I can't remember the exact details

Last year My wife took my F out when I was on a business trip. When I came home I found 2 long scratches on the back bumper. I knew immediately she didn't pull the car in the garage far enough and the garge door came down on it. That was the last time she drove it.

and that's why I don't let my wife touch my car. The battle scars on her ML350 say too much.

Glad I'm not the only one. Each time I see new scratches on the front and back bumper or new curb rash on her car it's "I don't know. It wasn't there before." /rant
