Lightbulb How many of you (men) let your wife drive your 997 Turbo?
At the risk of getting blasted, I thought I would ask....And to be politically correct...How many of you (women) let your husband drive your 997 Turbo?

My wife simply asked the other day...Or stated...I would like to drive that car sometimes....Now mind you she has a 996 Cabriolet and Cayenne S...But I pictured my turbo with no front spoiler, a Coach purse imprint in the leather seats, and a Nordstroms parking ticket in the glove box

Just asking for fun...Not trying to be a pig or anything...So take it lightly please! And women...No offense...I love my beautiful spouse!

I would in a heartbeat if she knew how to drive a manual. Certainly not going to let her practice on it. I really should get around to teaching her on the DD (Mini Cooper S), but I'm afraid if she fries that car, I won't be able to get to work

I let my wife drive it whenever she wants. Thankfully it's not that often!

She's very good at driving a manual and we all know...it's very therapudic to drive these cars, so why should I have all the fun.

Now the Cobra on the other hand...I don't let her drive that!

Mine did, when I let my key in the Range Rover while shopping and she had to save me with the second key there. But she doesn't like it and never tried again, but she could if she wanted.

she can drive it whenever she wants. She doesn't want to.

I think she knows if she scratched it or got in an accident I would be PO'd.

Happy wife = happy life

Mine used to not want to drive my ex M Coupe or 911 in fear that I would be mad at her if she did anything to them. She just does not like unpractical cars.

I sold my 911 and got a Cayenne Turbo, but I gave her the new truck and took her old truck (Nissan Pathfinder) for myself, as I believed it would be a better fit for my new toy (boat ). More often than not, she will grab the keys to her old truck and has complained that her new truck (CTT) is too flashy for her taste!

Women, who understands them? Can't live with them, but definitely can't live without them!

I would let her drive it if she could operate a 6 speed. She drives an S600 (Twin Turbo V12).

Wife drove it once. Was NOT impressed.

Loves her Toyota Matrix, wouldnt trade me.

Am I lucky or what?

LOL

On the other hand, I let my State Trooper buddy drive the car 2 weekends ago and he loved it...

He was in awe, the cruiser tops at 130 MPH,, I dont want to say how fast we were going but it was he was grinning from ear to ear.
