    My wife always stalls my truck, she drives a Honda 5 spd and I admit the clutch feels different but come on. And parking shouldn't take more than one turn, no reverse pivots.

    My GF is scared shitless to even attempt to drive my truck.. Guess that's a good thing!

    Plus she has a 750Li to drive- that's a good enough reason to stay away... haha

    I love it when my wife drives my trucks. She's showing interest in things I'm into. I love my truck as much as the next guy, but c'mon it's only a car. You whiners that refuse to let anyone else drive your truck need to stop being controlling little dicks. I'm not saying you let anyone and everyone drive it, but if you can't let your wife or gf drive it, you shouldn't be in a relationship.

    All of these pics are of my wife at the wheel of some of my trucks. Having her drive is fun. It helps her enjoy it more and she is more supportive of mods. Who cares if they do little things that are "annoying" and a little different than you would do.

    Adam that pic at the crack is great! A little bit of gas, a little bit of gas...mashes it. All in good fun! But I agree. It is a truck, it's supposed to be tough, surely it can handle a woman' shitty driving if it can handle our own off road abuse. I toss my keys around all the time, of course I tell people take good care of it, but I don't really care that much if my friends or family drive it.

    Haha I love this thread..
    I'm usually pretty chill with stuff like that but when people have to drive my truck the thing that makes me cringe is letting it get to about 9000 RPM's before they shift haha. I'm like, "The goal here is to shift BEFORE the truck sounds like it's about to explode." Lol I do let my buddies drive it sometimes though if I'm comfortable with the way they drive and I have taught a few girls around here how to drive stick and sometimes it's fun to let them drive. Sometimes it can be nerve wracking but whatever it takes haha ;)

    I let my GF drive it all the time. She's used to driving trucks so my little taco is nothing major. Haha i actually encourage her to speed up and accelerate quicker cause i like hearing my exhaust :burnrubber:

    Only major complaint is she ALWAYS leaves the visor down and never turns the AC off but eh, its whatevs

    Bunch of selfish pansies in here. Nobody's harder on my truck than I am. If anything....my truck prays for my wife to drive it.
    I'm with Adam on this one 100%. My wife drive's a stick like a champ and helps me wash the truck in a swim suite.
