it always happens when my wife is driving

we were heading down 880 the other day and my wife was driving and out of no where I hear her say " i bet you wish you were driving! " (running around 65ish) and then puts the pedal down slowly and then proceeds to let the m5 run with her for a bit then just walks him from 85 to about 120 (while i watched those angel eyes faded away) - guy seemed like he just bought a new (preowned circa 03) m5 - my wife then slows it down back to safer driving conditions and let them catch up, gave them thumbs up and (nice car nod) and they returned the gesture and exited off to another freeway.

always when she is driving

always in good fun!

Yeah, my wife verbally beat me up for taking an exit ramp too 'fast', until she told me she raced a Porsche the other day. Now she's cool with the power of the E.

Great wife! Mines the same only she won't "play" when she's driving but doesn't mind if I do when she's in the car.

I was playing with some bikers on some rural roads at over 130 while she was reading a magazine. She sensed the speed and looked up and over at the speedo, arched her eyebrows a little, and went back to her magazine. Didn't say a word.

sounds like some of you guys should have done a little more research before getting marrired!

I only get *****ed at for cursing at other drivers. She doesn't mind the speed but sometimes she gets scared.

Just like yours, She had to tell me about some lady that called in to Dr. Laura and said she refuses to ride with her husband because he drives fast and was that ok with Dr. Laura? Guess what Dr. Laura said?

I have this for Dr. Laura -

My wife's pretty cool up to about 120 or so.. then she gets a little excited.. well, a lot excited.. not a good excited..

Took her up to about 150 once, but she then verbally let me know that she wasn't to happy with me..

Them women have their ways, don't they???

I used to get that from my wife in the z06... until I let her drive during a club event... She "gets it" now... I took her to 167 once and she didn't say much... Fear can be useful sometimes... On one club drive, she did grab my arm once on a curve at speed... Ever have someone grab your shifting arm when at speed...? Freaked me out... "LET GO OF MY FRICKIN' ARM, WOULD'YA" ...!

There's one problem with this theory.

Women change all the rules once you marry them.
