how does your wife feel about your 911?
happy about?
proud of it?
enjoy the ride with you? (but not insist driving it herself?)
or simply say: "u gotta keep that juck out of my garage!"

My wife thinks its beautiful, loves riding in it, not interested in driving it, and doesn't mind me spending time in the garage tinkering with it. I'm very blessed. Of course after 26 years of marriage you kinda get to know one another.

Don't have a wife. But I have a few people that I am dating. Most of them like the car. Most of them don't mind me tinkering with it.
A few hate the ride. (it is lowered.) Then again, I'm not going back to a BMW after owing a porsche. That's for damn sure.

My girlfriend drives a BMW E46 (2002 3-series). She learned how to drive my Porsche last weekend on a 400+ mile drive. She loves the way it handles, which is to say, similar to her car. She has very low-profile tires and the sport suspension - this make for a rougher ride than the Carrera 3.2. But she really enjoyed the car.
If you always put your significant other first, the car 2nd, your woman embrance the car. Often times, it's easy to get jealous of such a nice car, because there is an awful lot to like about a P-car.

My wife likes going for rides. She won't drive it. She's afraid something will happen to it. The best part is, she never says anything when I spend money on the car or on AX stuff.

Wife thinks it's the ugliest car ever made. Won't drive it. Doesn't like the top down ("too cold", "too windy", "too noisy").
Have put in a requisition for a new wife.

It's too bad, really, that one guy who was selling a Porsche - had to get rid of his car because of his wife - she hated it and made him get rid of it. Again, too bad I say.

My wife pushed me to get my first 911. I probably wouldn't have a 911 if it wasn't for her pushing me to get over my conservative nature on spending money.
Now I've got two 911's in the garage. She loves both. I've contemplated selling the 964 since it sits too much, but she insists that I keep it and won't let me sell it.
The '84 3.2 I have now is not one of her favorite colors, but she knows how much I like odd color cars and again agreed with my purchase as long as I liked it. She trusts me on money issues and knows I would not buy something that would put us in financial stress either.
She enjoys riding in the '84 and prefers the 964 to ride in (however, we never use the 964 anymore). She has driven both, but prefers to stay out of the driver's seat since the '84 is a bit hard to drive for her due to the clutch, 915 and lack of power steering.

Wife likes the car, doesn't really care about driving it one way or the other.......one problem. She's using it as leverage to get another vette like the one she had when we where dating. Yikes! This is getting EXPENSIVE!!!!!
