    Re: You drive a Porsche, but what about your "half"

    My wife drives a BMW 530xi, and she is allowed to use my Cayenne any time. She doesn't like sitting in my 911, too cramped and too stiff.

    Re: You drive a Porsche, but what about your "half"

    My GF drives this 2007 Honda CR-V 2.2 CTDi
    Had it since February, and I must say it's a great car.
    Only downside is the 2nd to 3rd gear ratio. It feels strange.
    Other than that it's just a brilliant car

    Re: You drive a Porsche, but what about your "half

    My wife has a 2006 E350 4 Matic. She can drive my 997S anytime she wants but she won't unless she has to. IE we drove my car and I had too many drinks or we are on a long trip and I start to fall asleep :-) I love driving her car when I need a sedan.

    I take a tram to work my girlfriend drives the 993 (or the BMW 325i Touring). Must admit she looks better in it anyway..

    Re: You drive a Porsche, but what about your "half"

    We just sold her BMW X5 4.4i, to get her a Citroen C8 HDI
    With three small children we needed space AND practicality in the city. But it's not a sexy car

    She can drive my Carrera when she want to, but does only if she has to.

    a Golf V TDI 4motion. I like it too. Lots of torque, uses little petrol...HAS iPod connection and its rain detector works 1000x better than in the 997...

    I drive a Honda Civic 2.2 Diesel. SWMBO owns the Porsche. If I get all my chores done like a good boy then I might be allowed to drive it.

    Re: You drive a Porsche, but what about your "half



    The C2S is mine, the MX5 is hers. The slicks are hers, too. She's a better driver than I am and can justify the track tires and wheels.

    She likes my 911 just fine, but gives me a lot of good-natured grief about how much it weighs. One of these days I'm going to have to buy an Ariel Atom just to shut her up.

    Love the acronym.

    I'm Nugget's girlfriend - I drive that MX-5 pictured. We're spending this weekend building a tire trailer so I can stop begging people to bring my tires for me (Nugget's so good to me). I love Nugget's car on the street, but the weight and the rear-engined-ness are hard on it at autocrosses.

    Those Mini S's are great little cars. A couple I know just bought one to be her daily driver and their race car (they used to run a supercharged Miata).

    My wife has a Cayenne Turbo S, which I sometimes drive.
    She likes to ride shotgun in my 996 GT2 because being 5ft short she cannot get a comfortable driving position.

    Don't all these small SUVs and crossover wagons, like the MB-R series, look like funeral hearses with their down-curving back-side window and usual dark/black color?
