Well my wife just told me that this afternoon she had a semi riding her butt that refused to pass 
(even though there was plenty of room) so she laid into it and he disappeared in all the black smoke
I think she has more fun with it than I do...

My wife wont drive a manual, I got her to try once she dropped the clutch while in second and spun the tires (ON Gravel) then Hit the brakes and it wouldn't stop so she turned the key off and got out.
She is coming around, She wants a chip for Volkswagon TDI. Who am I to refuse

Let me qualify this short story by saying my wife and I are well on the downhill side of 50...I've been a gearhead all my life so I can't leave anything alone but I figured I was in for a fight when I built my Harley engine (below) but she surprised me but saying she now felt safer passing when we rode "2-up" so I get the new beta box...she's askin' what's so special about the box, I said get in and drive, she's driven this truck quite a bit stock...so off we go (level 2 on the box) she says it really runs much better now...not so sluggish...so with a grin I reach down and click it up to level 4, we're rolling along in 4th so she slaps the pedal down and says "EXPLETIVE" but shifts into 5th and keeps gettin' it...she slowed at about 90...guess I'm a pretty lucky old fart!!! (she has her own motorcycle too)

the latest email from her...
every time i crawl up in your truck i feel like i grew a pair... honestly... every little suv with some scrawney man driving it that goes by, i just want to laugh..
and, if there was a 7th gear... i'd have to use it... don't know why, but it's kinda addicting to push through the gears... you're jealous i'm driving your truck today aren't you???

After a couple 2-5 upshifts, my wife no longer drives *my* truck.
She'll have to prove to me she can drive a stick better before she ever gets behind the wheel again. I'll get her a Subaru or something to learn on....

Sorry guys but my wife is a country girl and can drive anything she can start!! From Dumptruck to Farm tractor. She drove my rig with the G/N horse trailer to camp about 2.5 hours from home, and said she'd be lucky to drive 55 on the interstate. Which I told her would get her run over. She came home and told me "It really smooths out at 85" and that was with 4 horses on and a living quarters trailer!!

My girlfriend has put almost as many miles on my truck as I have. A few words to the wise. If you intend to drive your truck take the keys when you get out to fill up. Many times I've hopped out to fuel up and come back to find my girl buckled into the drivers seat, door locked, and a grin ear to ear while signaling for me to head to the other side.
Not cool!
