Default Fire proof thong?
So, I'm having lunch with my lovely wife, discussing progress of our track car build and the subject of safety equipment came up. I told her that we need to purchase fire proof driving suits, shoes and underwear.

She looked up from her meal and asked: "Do they make fire proof thongs?"

After I stopped choking on my salad, I explained what the undergarments were for. To which she replied: "Oh" and started laughing with me.

I guess I have to give her lots of credit for making sure the "important" parts are protected.

That's too funny. I have to say, tho, I think butt cheeks are pretty important as well so I don't think a nomex thong would be adequate protection.

Not exactly what you were looking for but, here she is grinning about the fact that she beat my time at an autocross last year.

Damn man - you are lucky - a wife that is a looker and a racer too !
It would be a cold day in hell before my wife would go to the track much less drive the vette.

It gets worse...

We are both competitive shooters. Beyond 250 yds, she creams me.

However, I have to say when I brought up the idea of a dedicated track car she gave me without hesitation.

She also SCUBA dives with me, and even smokes the occasional cigar with me.

I am a VERY fortunate man!

(But when she does the superior dance at the autocross, it does get annoying... )
