She is welcomed to...not that I would want it parked at the mall, lol! She is not interested in driving it though...plus this one with 3 pedals is even less appealing to her!

My wife lets me drive her C4S, but I have to wash it first. Lol

Although my wife has owned and driven MT cars in the past... she has no desire to drive my C2S MT. I'm OK with that as she used to race the local ricers with my prior M3...

Do I park it at the far end of the parking lot, no - up close next to the minivans. Do I valet, yes, even if I can't see where they park it. Do I take it to the hand car wash, absolutely.
Do I enjoy hitting the rev limiter in second and third - the highlight of the day!!

Why worry and be protective of something that depreciate $5-10k /year?.
Best two posts in the thread. My (smokin' hot) wife drives our depreciating appliance any time she feels like it. She can also vote in elections now too.

Yup, only contingency is to park it at a corner spot. She prefers to drive a high visibility SUV ( Chevy suburban ).

She drove it around the block I first purchased it. Other then that, she has no interest.

My wife has driven it once. I asked her what she thought and her words "it makes me want to drive dangerously fast".
It is sitting in the driveway today as I drove the Grand Waggy and I guarantee you she won't take it. She is afraid to nick it up.
Her wheels are a mess and I think she knows she can't park a car without dinging the wheels on a curb.

She has her own (now in winter trim). Sometimes we trade just to keep it interesting.

I remember one time my wife's car had a flat so she had to take the kids to school. She was amazed that she never hot out of second. My daughter told me she killed it at the top of the driveway.
