Text book case of "you done f'd up". No, I think its cool. I m going to try to "teach" my girlfriend to drive my 914, but I'll do that at a warehouse parking lot on a Sunday at midnight

"do i shift at 6 or 7?" . "5 or if you are in the red it's to late". the often asked question, is there a rev limiting rotor for the 009. atleast if her car is in the garage i know the 914 hasn't been boosted.

Be careful of what you started. Pretty soon I'll be able to say to you "Get back in the Jetta where you belong." Jean you go girl.

I let one of my girlfriends drive my car once. Didn't see her or the car for three days. She's gone. Car's still here. I got the best of that deal!

I've meet Jean. Kevin's a lucky guy. He's got the girl and the car.

My wife just -sat- in the orange car for the first time yesterday. I was adjusting the throttle linkage and needed somebody to work the pedal.

I don't think she had ever gotten into a fully caged car with race seat and gutted interior before. She is kind of the auto-trans/full-leather/power-everything/AC/CD-changer type of chick.

The main comment was that she'd be pissed if she hurt her back climbing in/out over the door bars.

I let the wife drive my 2.0 during part of the Tour 2000 run when we were going south on Hwy. 1 from the redwoods to where ever. Anyway I have video of her going 55mph past one of those curvie road signs that say 20...

I had my seat belt on..
