Wife asked for a ride

Yesterday was a shock. Did my normal Saturday running around in the vette. Took the pup to the groomers, got groceries, picked up lunch. Got home waiting for the pup to get finished and the wife said after I pick up the pup she wanted to run to town in the vette!!!!! I was shocked as she's taken 1 20 mile ride and said that's all she could handle. Thinks it's too low and rough riding. Of course I abliged. Tons of cars were out. 3 c8s 2 c5s a porsche gt3 and a Ferrari. I was just happy for the wife. Pic of the pup while the wife was looking for a new purse...

My wife gets mad because I don't take her out in the Z more often. It's just that when we do go out I prefer one of our more comfortable vehicles plus I don't want to park the Z in a parking garage or lot.

Yeah the vette is my daily and she likes the comfort of the Expedition. She actually wants to trade the Expedition for an Escalade.

Always ride your dog and then you don't have to listen to any chin music from the wifey.

I'd love to take Jake with me too but I have the same problem with shedding.

My boy loves hanging out in the garage with us whenever we're working on something, have to forcibly remove him from the drivers seat most of the time.

My wife can take it or leave it as far as riding in the Vette goes.

well they are boxers!! We used to have two mini weiner dogs that would have loved riding in the vette. Oh and seems the wife doesn't mind riding in the vette. She wants to take it to an apt this afternoon.

I've owned my Z06 since February 2023. We got in it to go have tacos and it didn't run well so I took it back home and parked it. That's the only time she's ever been in it and she has no desire to ride in it. <shrug> I can't watch the Housewives shows; she doesn't want to ride in the Vette. To each their own.
