Default I've Created A Monster

My wife drove my TT once shortly after I got it (with me present, of course), but not in many months since. This past weekend, she asked to drive it again (with me present), and she drove three separate times. It was rather amusing. She wasn't used to the rapid acceleration and, therefore, she would repeatedly step on and off the gas, as opposed to keeping steady pressure. Moreover, she drove uncomfortably slowly (much slower than she drives her own car). She mashed the gas pedel once, only to become startled as the car learched forward, and she quickly let off.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, my wife proclaimed that she much prefers driving my car, as opposed to being a passenger (she doesn't like the harsh ride as a passenger), and she wants to drive more often. I've created a monster. What can I do? Do you allow your wife to drive your TT? Without you?

Craig,

Give the wife the Turbo and buy Watt's GT2 when he gets sick of it.

And hell no, the girlfriend will not be driving my GT3, but then again I have no PSM or AWD.

Personally, I don't have a problem with my wife driving my car. She's a good driver and have done a few driving schools. She knows her limits as well as the car's limits...

No problems here...
