Default Women passangers and Men passangers.

Does anybody else have this problem.

When I am driving with my wife in the car I drive a nice as I possibbly can, slowing down for corners, using my blinkers, not riding peoples a$$es, you get the idea. With all this she still screams and bitches as much as possible. Here feet are buried in my dash board, I could slap her just for this, she has a hold of the "O **** Handle" and anything else she can possibley get into her hands.

On the other hand when my friends ride in the car with me I can drive the worse I have ever driven. Going 70 in a 35, weaving through the lanes to pass the 'slow' cars, making a 90 degree turn into a parking lot going 40 so I can make in across before the oncoming traffic slams into me, and you know what they are cheering my on. I feel like a race car driver that just won the Indianapolis 500 it is great. Considering I almost made a couple of friends have a accident in my back seat , but they were still cheering. I am not sure if they were cheering for me or because they were still alive, but hey they were still cheering.

You know, you really don't appreciate the awe inspiring torque/power an SSEi can put out until you are riding in the passenger seat with your wife driving. I usually always drive but on the rare chance she does, I just try to close my eyes and pretend im on a rollercoaster.

parallel... I can definately relate....

But I don't think you can say male/female passangers....

When my gf is in the car, even though I'm driving much slower then normal, she still freaks out on me, and uses the holy **** bar when it'* not needed.

When my friends are in the car w/ me, male & female included, most of them are comfortable with my driving, and some get excited to drive with me. They say it'* like flying in a jet, (at university they unofficially nicknamed me "TopGun"). But there are one or two males/females they still do get scared.... I tell them if they don't like it ... they can always walk.

Whenever there are girls in my car, I drive very calm and with the speed limit. I've had some complain at me when I normally accelerate, which I found kinda odd.

When I am with my friends, I can drive above the speed limit, and turn my road rage on.

When I'm only with one person, I like to have fun with the car.

When I'm by myself, well, anything goes.

Well the only time I freak out is when boo drives like 2 feet away from the other person or dosn't bother checking his blind spot and almost writes me off as well
Females seem to have a more accute sensitivity to not hurting their cars and other people.
Imagine that
