I don't even own one. My gf has to let me drive her 1j/r154/holset/emanage 92 factory 5spd to get a lexus fix, but I try to avoid that because she doesn't wanna give up my cressida when it's over.
edit: and she's on a 6 puck extreme with 1pc shaft, and now 3.90s since a couple weeks ago she grenaded the ****ing awesome 4.08 diff. Which was my fault, saw the seepage and ignored it.

I was thinking on the way home this morning. You know come to think about it, my wife has never driven my SC since I tore it apart and now have boost. She does rag me about it, but I intentionally tell her how hard the Stage 4 clutch is, and she couldn't handle it and keep it from stalling. Like she knows what Stage 4 means anyway. 
She drove it a few times before the build but NEVER since then. I would honestly be afraid she would curb a rim or tire, or more so wreck it.
Do you let your wife or girlfriend drive your SC?
Let the story telling begin.

No, and honestly it's not because of her driving skills. It's more or less for my wifes safety. I have no driver airbag, front driver side tire loses 5lbs of pressure every other day, the steering is loose like a **** star, the car continues to move a few inches at a full stop, it shakes and rattles at 65+mph, the subframe is completely rusted, and it has no A/C to help defrost the windows in extremely humid rainy days. That's all I can think of now.
Oh.. and yes I have my girlfriend drive when I'm feeling lazy... but I freak out when she parks against a curb.

Nope 1jzP, it was my fault for ignoring a leak. I did have to ban her from my sportcross though. She ****ed it up twice in a walmart. And a rare *** wheel I waited for from japan the first day at the bank. But she bought her swap, her car, i can't say **** about it.

Yes I do. I taught my wife how to drive mine(5 speed) but she thinks it's too much work so she doesn't care too much for it. There's just something about it when someone drives my car. I now get to see the beauty that everyone else sees when I'm driving it. Thinking to myself, "man that's a nice car!"

Just purely awesome man. I have had the wifey out there turning a few turbo bolts. This is only because I had a set of extra medical gloves to keep her nails clean. I don't know if it is still worthy to allow the feeling of boost under her foot..

This a good thread. As far as letting my wife drive the SC she drove my last 5spd with a Stage 4 6 puck clutch and around 500whp. She loved it and I had fun being driven around. She drives 5spd very well. I'm still trying to get her to race it on the track. I showed her how to do a burnout and she was pumped. We were in an industrial park and she would stop every few hundred feet and leave one hahahah. Gotta love good clutches

I just love the comments. So many meanings of how not to let the wife or GF drive our beloved SC's.
and I thought this thread would be a dead one w/o any participation. LOL
