My wife loves the car and brisk drives in it. In days gone by we rode all over Texas on a variety of motorcycles ranging from single cam Honda 750s, to a Norton 850 to a VFR800. She loved the bikes, but reasonably, drew the line if her toes touched the asphalt in a corner. A few years ago I had to pull into a turnout on the Tail of the Dragon to keep her from redecorating the dashboard of my BRZ.

My driving moto is in my sig, but despite that on roads like the tail of the dragon, or the "twisted sisters" in central Texas she is prone to motion sickness. I've been in small airplanes flying unusual attitudes/modest aerobatics. If I was at the controls it was never an issue, but when I was just along for the ride, I'd be green after a bit. Winding, "swoopy," roads in a car like the BRZ can have a similar effect on people, even those who have no qualms about the speed.
