I don't "let" my wife do anything. She does whatever she wants. She drives our 10 Grand Sport Vert M6 all the time. She also drives the 18 Ford F250 Diesel all the time. She is a great driver.

Sounds like you're fishing for some kind of specific response? Not sure what it is with car forums and all the wife jabs. She can drive it whenever she wants because why not? Shes no more or less likely to crash it than me, and if she does, so what? It isnt a limited run and repair parts arent expensive. I never understood the whole thing where people buy a mass produced car and go to crazy lengths to protect it. Not eating in it, never driving it in the rain, etc. Its all crazyness to me. If you spill something, clean it. If you wreck it, by a new panel, paint it, and get back on the road. It isnt going to be a collectible, and even if it was, you'd probably be better off just investing the money at 6% instead of trying to keep a mass produced car pristine. Its more worth it to actually have some fun, in my opinion.

agree
Why does it have to be one or the other? Why not both? I took my 08 vert on a 4000 mile trip to Cali and back, cleaned it up after I got back, and ended up winning trophies in 7 car shows that same spring. I've never understood people who have to see in black and white, and end up missing all the grey in the middle that makes things interesting.

Mine can drive mine but prefers not to. I’d let her because she bought it for me 😄

Mine can drive mine whenever she wants. She has already expressed interest in driving it to work on nice days. Because I am not an azzhat, I have exactly zero reason to prohibit my wife from driving any car (or motorcycle for that matter) I own. The more interest she has in my motorized toys, them more likely I am to continue to have her support in buying them.
Yes, I let her take the boat out by herself too. Its 2019, not 1946. I'm far more likely to do something stupid with it anyhow.

Safety Car
I let my wife drive mine once while I was in it just in case she "had" to drive it home. Mine is a stick, but she drives stick shifts really well, but she thinks it is really hard to put in each gear.. Her commuter car is a stick. She doesn't want to drive it because she doesn't want to hear my mouth if something happened to it.
