let the wife drive the evo today ...
my wife drives mine off and on. i can hear her hit boost behind my house on the way to the store. She says she loves the way it spits (blow off valve ). I let her take it to school and all the kids loved the car. She said she liked the attension.

I let my wife drive mine whenever she wants, just not to grocery store!
3 years ago when i just had and exhaust and a flash on the car i was running 11.70s, She wanted to make a pass in it, so i took her for a ride down the track and showed her how to stage the car. Her first pass she went 12.50, followed by 3 more 12.50s and then she managed a 12.20 on her final pass!
At the time, i had a carbon, carbon clutch and required a little heat before a pass, so i told her to just slip the clutch a little with the E brake on! So Dan Buschur and I are standing near the staging lanes and i hear this car reving, and reving, Dan looks over starts laughing his *** off, and yes theres my wife slipping the clutch in the STAGING LANES ABOUT 30 CARS BACK! 2 weeks later i needed another clutch

My gf could drive the evo 8 stock clutch ok, but i dont think she could take the QM twin plate on the 9, that thing is not forgiving. I am now planning to change into another clutch with less noise and more forgiving, havent found one yet.
My wife is learning to drive stick. So that's a no. I usually don't like people driving my car anyway.

my gf drove the evo for the first time the other day. pretty funny, she did pretty damn good.
she used to drive my 445whp srt with a SBC S5X clutch no problem.
however when it comes to gettin crazy in the dirt/snow or boosting, she leaves that to me.
and it is true about the ladies getting alot of attention in the evo. both me and my buddy own TB evos that we let our ladies drive, and its pretty funny watching both of them pulling up and getting out

I am a girl on my second evo. I only let one of my past bfs drive my evo. And currently I am the only one I let drive my evo.....
its funny when guys see pictures of me driving my car and say "you let your girlfriend drive your evo
" and give a sour puss face. the stop posting after when they find out its my car and i dont let guys drive it

And she did quite good .. minor issues with the clutch, but overall it was a fun drive. Big difference than her '08 Dodge Caravan for sure. Every time we made boost, she grinned from ear to ear. She liked when it goes "swoosh" from the spoolup. I've never held the o-shat bar so hard in my life, but that could have partly been for effect. Was a little nervous, but didnt **** myself like i thought i would.
You guys ever let your girl drive the evo?
