Let me start out by saying I am glad your wife is OK. I am truly sorry to hear about the whole ordeal, and very sorry to see that a black EVO dead without even getting broken in. I have to ask, has your wife ever driven a high peformance car before? Has she had any performance drivers training. Well at least this may teach everyone else out there that while this may be considered a 'toy' to some of us, the EVO is no ordinary toy. Please exercise extreme caution if you are to actually, and this is completely outside my scope of understanding, let someone behind the wheel of your EVO. Personally even if tila nguyen herself was to ask me to let her drive it around the block in exchange for a night with her alone and naked, i would have to think twice. And I am not trying to diss women drivers although I am in no means gving them props either. I feel there is a serious lacking across the board, both women and men, of competent drivers on the road. So I guess the lesson for the day is DO NOT LET ANYONE DRIVE YOUR EVO, unless you're ready to have this happen to you. And if you don't want to do it for yourself, do it for the EVO! ...unless your friends with tommi makinen or marcus gronholm
good luck with her replacement...
btw, tila, if you read this and want to take it for a spin drop me an eMail and I'll just get you some driving lessons first!!!

I think people are making way to much of this. Not that fact that there was an accident, in which thankfully no one was hurt, but in the fact that it was an EVO.
I let my wife drive my past rally based cars in the past, she drove them like an old lady (she's not), just like she drives all our cars.
The steering and handling isn't all that quick as to make the car uncontrollable, get real. Quick steering and handling could just as well save you some day.
Bottom line, it's a street car, not and F16. Anyone with reasonable driving skills can tool around in one to get from point A to point B, just as anyone can have an accident for various reasons at any time. As with ANY car you're unfamiliar with, a bit extra due care is required initially.

One thread, 2 wives wrecking lancers with prolly a few hundred more waiting to be posted. Recently at the markIV supra forums someone started a thread "Worst mistake you ever made for your supra?"
Oddly enough one of the popular replies was "letting my wife/gf/otherfemale drive my supra"
Lancer
Woman drivers
This shouldnt be shocking to anyone, its real life.

You guys are silly, you act like just because you have a ***** you can drive better than a woman. I'll bet anything my wife could outdrive most of you.
It can and does happen to anyone! Sorry for the car and just glad everyone is fine.

That sounded really funny. 
Woman not being able to drive cars like men has obviously nothing to do with the fact that they do not carry a ***** around. However, it is scientifically proven that women are unable to orientate themselves in space as well as men. And that's a genetics related thing. There are lots of books about this subject, one in particular which I'm sure we all know of
It doesnt mean we think women are inferiour human beings or anything like that, it simply means that women start with a genetic handicap when it comes to driving cars. There are exceptions to this (like Michelle Mouton or Jutta Kleinschmitt), but generally women are not able to drive cars as well as men.
