Mine drives it all the time..as we have two cars in our six we only have two that are somewhat practical..the touring being one
- wife plows plastic lip into parking curbs..
- lets my daughter eat goldfish in her booster seat
I could go on and on
It's just a car, plastic parts can be replaced

Felt the same way reading this.. bizarre question and even more strange that no one had an adverse reaction to the predicate. There is no "let" or "allow" in my marriage. Side note: very proud that my wife is featured in only video on the Internet I could find of a girl driving a P1... that was a fun experience.
Relax I'm just joking man. The question was not meant to be so serious, and I think most people kind of get that it was not that serious of a question but just a discussion.
I'm not even married. I let my girlfriend drive the GT3 and I was pretty nervous for a variety of reasons and thought the whole experience was kind of funny.
I was married years ago and well, my ex-wife did not care to drive any car I cared to buy and the one car she did drive she crashed it into the house and knocked down a column of bricks holding up the garage.... But yea the post is not meant to be that serious.

Honestly..... is this the 1950's??? Not only does my wife drive our GT3 but she tracks our GT3 with me. We have an autocross next week together and we have an HPDE at Watkins together in September. For a forum of car guys Im shocked at how boorish the responses are. Do none of you have wives that have any driving skills at all and if not why are not you teaching them? Seriously-
P.S. You have good taste in specs for your GT3

Of course, I mean, it is an automatic after all.
Ive even let her drive it a few times without me in it, Im sure my blood pressure spikes a bit but shes taking it easy anyway.

If youre a Porsche guy/car enthusiast and you dont marry someone into cars youre asking for trouble. The only rule is that her cars get modded as well as mine. She also knows the build is never done and every two hour project takes 4.

MY Wife has (0) interest in cars. She has her Mercedes that I end up maintaining because she could careless.
She does drive my M3 every once in awhile. She hated it, at first, but now loves it because she thinks it is really fast. She actually looks really good in it
She has no interest in driving a Manual so "No Soup for Her".

LOL I think my wife could teach most of you how to drive a Porsche - seriously on top of that she would probably offer the option to have a go at a three day event on one of her "ponies" - hint, don't ever accept that challenge.
They either have the skill or don't or don't want the skill and would rather do something else, my wife started in karts when she was 8 oh and she drives my 720s more than I do.
The world has changed and is more interesting for it
These are great cars, but honestly they are very easy to drive in manual or PDK form - these aren't units with a dog box and heavy duty clutch and light weight fly wheel

Three Wheelin'
We only have one car. So yah. 
I am told suspension is "too stiff" -- sparkling water spills ensue.
Oh, and "engine has quite the range -- I just leave it in second most of the time"
