Who's got the fastest "wife-mobile"?

I'll confess, I get a kick out of seeing my wife get behind the wheel of the Audi S4, with its 340 bhp, 4.2L V8 and BBS wheels. I know for sure it's not the fastest car out there, and I'm equally certain it's not the fastest car that board members here have given to their other half to drive, but I am curious as to what your other halves DO drive.

I recall someone here had purchased an R35 GT-R for his wife to drive, and I know some of the folks on my Vancouver BC thread have purchased things like E60 M5s for their spouse as well.

Feel free to chime in on what your better half is driving currently and what you might have planned for her (or him, as the case may be) in the future.

You have to do the whole, "look what I brought home, honey" routine.

My wife... drives my C63 the thought it was "cute" and never returned the keys to me. I get to borrow it every so often

She certainly gets a lot of attention in the freeway driving from and to work.

Yes, I believe Rock just bought his wife a GTR instead of an IS-F. Personally, my girlfriend drives a G35, but she wants something faster...

Don't have a Mercedes right now...
Now that's a way to get rid of the wife without being accused for murder! Just buy her an ultra fast car and let her have fun with it

Just kidding, I am not married yet but when I will be I would actually go for a safe car (priority No.1), roomy (No.2) and a cute one to keep her happy.

Rock you poser, tell the truth the wife got the RS4 and you got the GT-R...


Besides my 1700 hp+ stable (997TT modded, GT-R HKS 570, M6)... the better half drives an: IS-F Great car for her... she loves the sound and for the price (2009 new 52k) it couldnt be beat (for her).

LOL. That got me counting. It turns out that my "stable" also totals 1,700+ hp but it takes me six cars to get there instead of three!

Holy smoke. That's a lot of horsepower.

That's kind of why I feel good knowing she's in an AWD car because it rains so much up here in Vancouver and this past winter the snowfall was definitely more than expected. It's great to know that you're taking good care of your loved ones.

Wifey drives a white C300...enough power for her...I don't trust her with anymore than that...!

She has no concept of speed bumps and the need to slow down for them...
