Was being naughty, trigger happy with the gas pedal. Forgot that my wife was in the passenger seat.. she threw a fit, received a big telling off! Had to make up a 'cock and bull' story about diesel spills etc causing the car to break traction...

I took my wife out on Saturday evening to show her how much the new underbody panels muffled the road noise. Did a little 4-wheel slip across a damp patch. No reaction from her. She acknowledged that she didn't even notice.

Did not crash.

Since blocking the sound tube into the cabin the car is a lot quieter so anytime the revs go over 3k my wife reacts.. therefore I'm only messing about if I'm flying solo or if she is asleep in the passenger seat.

My wife once did a clutch kick as a little "oh yeah?" to me.

I had the last laugh when TC said "nope."

Has your wife ever told you "You're not as good at driving as you think, so stop driving like you're in a racecar", or something along those lines? The person that told me this, I no longer have a relationship with.

It was Dark Miku's choice. Dark Miku is the one with 4 wheels, but in all seriousness, Dark Miku accepted her apology and got a free cleaning from her to make amends. GF now understands that Dark Miku and I have a special bond, something that cannot be broken, something that compels us to drift together while running in the 90's, something that will be known in legend for many a century.

The story of a thing and it's car. Dark Miku. The mighty black 86.

I wonder if Mustang forums have a thread for "Drove my pony today, did not hit anybody"


Probably not. The post count would be far too low.
