Default Wife drove my C4S today

AND LOVED IT!!!

She was very worried about driving such an expensive car, but I told her it'd be fine - just like her Audi, but more "tight". At first she took it very easy, but then I got her to open it up a little bit. Then I hit "Sport" with the PDK....






Needless to say, she's hooked now. Looks like we'll replace her A3 in a year with a nicely-optioned Cayman. When I'm ready to order my next 911, she'll get the current one. Damn, I feel like I married the right woman!

My wife is afraid to drive my car which is fine with me, considering all the curb rash on the wheels of her BMW.

Nathan.... Sounds like my wife. She drove her BMW off the curb and we had to replace the control arm bushings and realignment.

LOL...Haji will see the light then

I'm a former Light Infantryman myself..B.Co. 1/14th Infantry 25th Infantry Div. (Light). Although alot of the 25th guys are in the Stryker brigades now.

Not sure which my wife hated more- the 997 C2S, or the Zed (ZZR-1200). Both gone now. Wonder if she"ll like the 09 Cayman when it gets here?

My wife has really never wanted to drive any of the Porsches we have had. I will give credit as she drove the 912 every week during my VietNam tours to keep it running well. now, that said, she enjoys driving the Cayenne GTS very much... so each to their own.
