Anyone ever let their moms drive the evo??

I didnt wanna hi-jack the thread that was made about his father borrowing the evo.....

but L_OMFLMFAO_L.. I had to make a thread about this.

my moms driven my porsche, LOVED IT (and its even faster then the evo) she drove the srt... thought it was the best toy on earth but the evo...

all she kept saying is "I just want one opening" and she thinks the 5th gear pull is hard from 3000 rpm- 5000 rpm at 21 psi. The car is cammed so I told her to do a 3rd to 4th pull.. she seriously was laughing her *** off..

I miss when I drove my first fast car! (its not her first fast car she just rarly drove them all)

I let another freind drive my car for 5 bucks, he NO LIE started weezing!

yea my mom did....

She hated it - steering to touchy, push the pedal to hard the car takes off, seats are to hard to get out of, etc. Those were just some of the complaints when she returned from driving it

Yeah, just the other day, she couldn't shift it right. It was like 'jerkidy, jerk" - Funny think is my mom always buys manual cars - Miata, Mustang, Jag Type X, Mazda 3.

I never see my parents because I live 500 miles away but I'm home for 2 week with them.

I was following my dad home from a restaurant last night and I did a hard pull past him near redline and when we get home, he goes "wow that think really stinks (smell - I have no cat, he knows this..)"

And he has a '65 cutlass 442

I let my 64 y/o mom drive the Evo when I first got it. She loved it.

Even if my 67 year old mother knew how to drive a manual, I wouldn't let her behind the wheel. My wife, OTOH, I do trust, but she refuses to drive the Evo. Who am I to argue?

My mom has driven my Evo many times, and was the first person to drive the Twin Disc without killing it.

My mom wont even come near my car. She said that she wants nothing to do with it but she wants to get a M5 which is fast.

I've tried to get my mom to drive my car several times, but she has no interest. I gave her a ride once and I think she was a little scared.
