We all know what that is.

Ohhh your talking about nagging while driving, I thought your title of your thread was 2 independant statements.....

Most of the time she's like "hmmm" but today she really enjoyed my entry into the freeway at 80+ as I merged across to the fast lane and took the new 997 up to 98+ mph! I was as shocked as she was that we were actually going that fast with HER in the passanger seat. Hmm maybe I'll win her over yet! LOL

Mine is a psychic. She yells at me even before I press on the gas. She doesn't have fun in it and I certainly don't when she is in it.

Needless to say, I don't take her anywhere in my Porsche. Luckily, the Porsche is my fun car not daily driver.

Whenever My Mother said slow down my Father floored it. She never divorced him, just waited for him to die and got his money.

Ditto.
My wife likes the styling and looks but not the speed. Can't exceed 75 when she's in it. Fortunately, I have a 12 mile relatively straight path between the two hospitals I go to daily. It's a bad speed trap, though.

My wife's not too bad, I get a lot of - "do you have to drive that way all the time?". I slow down, a bit.

During the dating stage...Speed really "turned her on"....now after marriage, My driving now gets accepted as a juvenille cry out for attention...her words...oh..and the occassional "look" from the passenger seat as I pass by some cars at an admittedly high rate of speed...I must say that her looks are still way better than the "look of death" I get from people in our gated community as I drive/coast through the surface streets in 1 or 2 gear no less...that 911 motor will be heard ! praise the lord.

Everytime my wife rides with me she seems to have something that can spill or tip over in the car or trunk.
I think she does it on purpose to control me. :-D

It changed with the kid (now 4). Obviously now with him in the car, but I think the whole "leaving young child without parent(s) is the issue.

i don't have a selection in the poll.
when my wife was younger, she loved spirited driving.
i even taught her to drive a stick in a porsche when she was 19. (no pun intended)
however with age my love of spirited driving has not waned but she
now proclaims it to be childish and that "a father" should not endanger
his life like that for the sake of his family!
and this was said after i slowed down and little old ladies were
passing me on the interstate!
btw i've only been involved in two automobile accidents, both the fault of
the other party, neither serious.
but that doesnt included my two motorcycle accidents.
one was due to letting someone try my bike while i road theirs.
their bike needed new tires really BAD!
first curve we took at speed (70-75) i lowsided like i was on ice.
i was uninjured but 2-3k damage to my buddies bike after i retrieved
it from the embankment it ended up on top off.
month later ridiing with a group when we passsed an officer driving the opposite way.
i looked in my side view mirror to see if he was going to turn and pursue.
when i turned my head back foward it was just in time to see that the road
curved sharply left! i didn't! but again uninjured.
just another 2-3k in damage to my bike this time!
btw the officer didnt turn around.
maybe my wife is right? nah!
don't ride motorcycles as much though!

The 'squirmy' comment is so true for me. Living in Orlando my wife says it is the tourists and their nutty driving that worries her not my driving. However, I recently caught her with her eyes closed chanting "ball of flames" over and over again to herself.
