Though the Wife unit can she doesn't like driving the I drive her Teeg often My boys generally are masters of their automotive domains (01 GIT VR6 and 13 Kia Optima)
Wife can barely drive BUT has done well at not totally fucking up her Its actaully really in the clean department.
BUT, I pretty much 95% of time drive if we ride together unless Then she is DD. So yeah, she cant/doesnt drive any of my cars.

Toaster, because while we can drive each others vehicles we usually keep to our own. Mostly due to placement of the seat being behind her drivers seat so the drivers seat is closer to the wheel than I would like.

We rarely share or borrow each others cars, though when we take one on a road trip (we alternate cars used on our trips) we share the driving duties. She's fine driving my car but doesn't understand the flappy paddles so she just drives it like a . She is rather lax on keeping her car clean and clutter-free so I try to keep sharing cars to a minimum.

The woman drives her car but doesn't touch mine because she is "scared of damaging it" but the woman prefers I drive 999/1000 times. So her car is my car and my car is my car as well. Voting toaster since the options don't really apply to my situation.[user not found] wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 10:41 am In your household do you share cars freely and openly with no judgement?
Or do you maintain strict possessive boundaries the car your drive because your significant other is a loose cannon behind the wheel, leaving a trail of mutilated wheels, crubbed bumpers, greasy paw prints, and miscellaneous detritus wherever they go?

We do share cars, though my wife doesn't drive the truck that often. Some of it is by design by me cause I hate having to readjust everything after she drives it, and I'm afraid she's gonna hit something with it since she's not used to driving it regularly.

I'll drive her Cherokee more than she'll drive my truck.
I can get some severe motion sickness when riding as a passenger, so it is easier for me to drive whenever we go somewhere.

I'll be honest in saying that I don't hate it. It rides very well and has enough oomph to scoot when you need it to.

Not gonna lie, they have grown on me over the last couple of years. I probably should have gotten a KL Trailhawk, but went instead.

Isn’t baby seat supposed to be diagonal from the driver (behind passenger seat) so the baby is easy to see with minimal turning around?

My fleet is entirely maintained by me. I maintain the interior/exterior of everything and make commentary if there is an excessive recycling effort going on the backseat of the BMW (she just tosses empty water bottles on the back floor or if there has been ram curbage, bird poo, water spotting, or any other action negatively affecting the Zilspec levels of my fleet. She appreciates that I take car of all this and ignores my clever comments. I drive all the vehicles freely. She does not touch the Corvette because low, loud scrapemobile. Donezo.

I forget what trim level hers is, but it was between a CX-5 and the Cherokee when she was looking back in 2016. Ultimately, the Jeep won because of the V6 power and 0% for 72 months.Apex wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 2:39 pmHuckleberry wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 2:34 pm

Being that her commute is something like 3 miles, she's just turned 24K on the thing. The only issue she's had is with the stop-start system.

Lady refuses to drive manual. But doesn't care if I drive her car. When I get an auto I won't care if she drives mine, especially if it has memory seats as she's a lot shorter than I am.

Regular cab with passenger airbag off means is next to you for the ultimate win. Or in middle seat so you both can play with the baby while you drive.

No, actually the wife is pretty good at avoiding crubs and fents and briks.
But she's not all that great about keeping the car clean. She does keep it free of foodstuffs but the dog hair is a different story.
