Will this sick feeling ever go away?
My wife just took the Vette to go meet her friend for a drink.. She just text me and asked if I needed anything while she was at WAL-MART. I think Im gonna throw up now... 
I know this group has a vast amount knowledge when it comes to Vettes. How do you keep your spouse from driving your baby?

My wife is a terrible driver. Someone once told me you have to treat your wife like your favorite child so lay down the law. She will get over it I can't tell you how long that will take though it's going on 12 years for me.

I drive her car all the time . So why should it be different the other way . she is too scared to drive mine , but she has in a couple of occasions . there are a lot worse things happening in this world than my wife driving the vette !
And yes I do love my Vette as much as anyone on this board , but it's still a car and it's insured
