She is a keeper for sure! My wife can't drive a stick but wants to learn. Taking her and I to the Porsche Driving Experience "For Couples" in Atlanta. She is going to come to some track events up here too.

my wife is great at a manual transmission and I love it when she drives mine. Problem is that like 10 yrs ago she was driving my 996 in a parking garage and someone backed into her and scraped the front bumper. Now she is paranoid something will happen every time she drives the 993 so she doesn't do it a lot. I love seeing any woman drive a Porsche.

I need to take my wife out to drive the 993 before there becomes some kind of stigma around her driving it. She doesn't care about cars, but can drive manual, and said she liked driving my 128i because "it just does what you tell it to quickly." Well yeah... that's the fun part!

Yeah, so what? The OP is sharing his experience and stated at the outset that this was not technical. It's not as if he asked "Hey, does anyone's wife or girlfriend enjoy driving your Porsche?" Even if he did, who cares?

Leave him alone, please.

Before this post gets lifted, just trying to lighten things...

I'd like to see a corollary: "My boyfriend or husband likes to drive my Porsche"!

My wife doesn't get into mine, by choice, and she can drive a 6-speed.

VW Group should donate a PTS pink 911 to Hillary on inauguration day, now that Sharapova is out. Great PR, take some focus off diesels.

Look, this was going to come out sooner or later so we might as well get it out of the way now.

I think I might be in love with your wife...

...and your car.

Yep. A lot of time went into making another person feel small. Not cool but typical for EMB to feel compelled to take a peanut gallery potshot at one more person.

Fair enough; you crave technical. However, eloyex kindly disclosed that the thread is not technical. After having read the title, why did you bother to 1) open up the thread, 2) read it and 3) take the effort to research the archives if not to make the OP feel...small. Not cool.

To Disreali's point, it's not as if eloyex's girlfriend is hard on the eyes. And here you are crapping on the thread.
