I felt like I was giving the key's to a teenager with a laundry list of do's and do not's -- like no drive throughs
what are the chances! My wife drove mine for the first time today also. Her car has both car seats and so I took her TX for kid drop off. She took mine for an appointment.

the good news is she’s absolutely the better driver so no need for instructions from me haha.

I look at the wheels of her Mini Cooper. Full of dings.
this is my fear. Whoever owned this before me didn’t scrub the wheels. I’d prefer to keep it that way. I look at her car……

Probably not the case for me. My wife frequently calls herself out like “damn, I parked like as a— hole”

But, it looks like her car gets an extended stay in the shop, and she’s not thrilled about an Acura ADX. So here we are….

Best of luck to both your cars then haha!

your wife and i are the same person. I’ve walked away from a parking job and commented “damn that sucks” far too often.
