I was sitting at work yesterday and I get a phone call from my wife, she was trying to leave home and pick up my daughter from school, and her 06 Chrysler Minivan wont start, dead battery, she thinks our 2 years old turned on the interior lights and it killed the battery, so she is stressing out trying to find someone to jump start the van, and I tell her that my car (charger) is sitting there and its ready to run, so she can take it to go to the school, now we have been married almost eight years and she has never driven my Charger, she has rode in it a few times but never driven it, so she is like your sure its alright, I tell her that she doesn't have much of a choice if she wants to be at the school close to on time, so I talk her through starting and a few operational items, and she is off, I get a call later and she is in love with the Charger and wants to know why I had never let her drive it, she loves the power of the 440 and wants me to take her somewhere that she can drive really fast, she wants to go 125 mph, I talked to her this morning and she is out cruising around in the Charger, because I didn't get the van fixed because I had class last night, so I really need to get a battery put in so she can have her van back, plus I had better hide the Charger keys because you never know... :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

Lol!  That's great!  At least you know you gained a little security on maintaining ownership of the car!   :smilielol:  Sometimes kids come in the door and the Charger goes out the door.  But, now you'll need another garage stall to put her Charger in!   :2thumbs:

Well, sounds like you're pretty fortunate.  I know many women that became "horse power prudes" after marriage.  Just as long as she doesn't start driving it everyday, hiding the keys from you, and suddenly talking about upping your life insurance!   :rofl:

Have a good one!

My wife helps me with my Charger even though she doesn't get to drive it. I'm sure it'll happen one day though... some crazy situation like that will come up and she'll have her excuse to take it out for a spin.

Even worse... she'll have "her half" of the garage and "her toolbox"!

The slippery slope is near... very near!   :smilielol:   :icon_smile_wink:

Let my wife drive mine before we were even married. She went with me to a dentist appointment and I suggested she take the car to her uncles house if she didn't want to wait around. After the dentist appointment was over I found myself sitting on the curb for about 1/2 hour. It was long enough to ponder "What the " was i thinking. :eek2: Next thing ya know here comes my car. The only thing is there is nobody driving. :smilielol: I looked real close and could barely make out the top of my girls head. :hah: Needless to say a booster seat was in her future. :2thumbs:

But what happened when she pulled up to the school?  What was everyone's reaction?...??  :popcrn:

 :scratchchin:   Hey Martian R/T,    Are you coming to Mopars at the strip with your wife or will it be just her with the Charger ?    :smilielol: :nana:

   Nobody drives Black Betty but me.   Lisa can't drive stick anyway  :angel:

  Lisa has driven my '90 TA GTA a few times.    But since it's been sitting uninspected since June or so that hasn't happened.    I'm supposed to clean it up and dump it on CL or something soon.

  She might think she'll get to drive Sinnamon in a few years when it's ready but I'm not making any promises.  
   My old GF back in MI drove it about a mile one night back to her house after I managed to get myself thrown in the back of a Troy squad car for reckless driving but that's another story..
Black Betty:  1969 Charger R/T - X9 440 six pack, TKO600 5 speed, 3.73 Dana 60.

I was just thinking....   I have told my wife several times "just take the charger"  because I know she won't drive.  BUT, one of these times I bet she does and all will be lost.    :rotz:

My girl's never driven either of the Chargers, but she likes 'em.

Talks about wanting to try one out, but then she gets nervous and doesn't.

I did get her to try out the Scout though.

She didn't like it so much.  :icon_smile_big:

I don't blame her, I'd enjoy driving it too.

I guess I'm about the odd guy out here...

My girlfriend has driven the Charger, and will drive it much more during our Rte. 66/Powertour/whatever summer tour...

My Mother wants a crack at it too, she loaned me $200 in 1979 to buy the R/T...she still reminisces about driving around in my Dad's '63 Galaxie 406/4speed, a 12 second car at Detroit Dragway.

I still haven't decided where that will take place, but it will certainly be on film-if only for the insurance adjuster's satisfaction... :o
