How do you disable the "autonag" function??......Sounds like you don't have that particular "Disable" option with your Vette.

Fortunately I bought mine without that option!!! Anyone and everyone who rides in my car knows there is only "ONE" option for the passenger.............

GET IN, SIT DOWN, SHUT UP, AND HOLD ON!!!! (Or Get Out)

When I first bought mine, my wife took one look at the e-brake and said, "finally, a passenger side brake pedal". She has no room to talk, however. My previous car was a heavily modified Grand National and she darn near lost her license from driving it.

How about putting runflats on. So noisy they defeat the "autonag" option.

I think a little "elbow" grease would take care of the problem... Fortunately for me, I don't have that problem -- it's addressed in the pre-nup!!

No....sounds like you are the lucky one, amigo.

All Harley rider referred to this problem as a "squeek in the rear end"...only way to fix it was to leave her at home mowing the yard!

Disable the passenger side airbag and tell it's broken and cannot be repaired. She'll never get in the vette again.

I would delete the option completely from the Vette if it was a problem. This way it makes room for the "Sweet Mistress/Hooker/GF Option".

Just tell her for every bad word spoken, SHE must remove an article of clothing...right then and there. Mine doesn't say anything, just gives me those LOOKS.

Slip her a MICKEY before you get in the car, a couple of drinks, maybe some BENYDRYL. I'm lucky, mine sleeps on long trips......

But my wife is cool, We drove to VA a couple of years ago in her Mustang Bullitt, I hit a flat level spot with no traffic for 2 miles, I downshifted to fourth matted it, then fifth, we hit 135 before I backed down, she was screaming out the window "GO MUSTANG"!

I got one of the good ones.
