Sick passengers

She drives her Mustang like a bat out of hell, although thankfully not like a asshat leaving a Cars and Coffee. She giggled like a schoolgirl the whole time we were on the Tail of the Dragon, then insisted she get to drive it in the opposite direction when we came back a couple of days later.

Mine used to!
Give it time.

So far, no change, but she is 5 years younger than me so I suppose all things are possible.

My wife is a better driver than rider. When in my car I drive it like a Prius. It’s a lot easier that way.

And the woman is a fearless snowmobile driver. We did a tour of Yellowstone and she was something else

Every time I have a passenger I flip the MPG gauge on and try to keep it as high as I can. Helps me drive waaay more smoothly. Haven't had any complaints yet.

The first and only time I drove my mom in my car, we went over a speedbump less than 200 feet from my house. I got one wheel over and she immediately asked me to turn around and take her back. Stock suspension. Sports cars are not for everyone lol

I've never had an issue but am usually pretty mellow with passengers. It is already a pretty unpleasant ride in my car as is. I had to go pickup my brother when he was drunk once at 2 am and bombed the car through these "S" turns hard enough he hit his head on the window. He deserved it

My 80 year old mother loves riding in my car. She want me to go fast.

lol my 69 y/o mom hates driving with me and she's 100% jdm! too loud, too low, too harsh for her..she drives a sc430 so you can imagine the difference for her..dad puts up with it.

most importantly though my son and my gf love tagging along and they giggle every time i slide around a corner i couldnt be with someone who despised spirited driving or my 86

You gotta be careful with little kids. Their inner ears have short fuses and no alarms. My grandkids love being tossed around and hung upside down and flown around the room/yard. They'll be cackling up a storm and in an instant they'll look at you with a smile and toss lunch onto your sweatshirt. I'm going to love when they get old enough for fun in the car, but I'm putting a towel in their laps and on the dash and floor.

Give me a passenger who'll say I love this but I'm not feeling so good any day. None of this, "I'm going to be a badass and tough this out" - then .

She doesn’t mind me driving her Mazda 3, but of course the suspension is meant for people like her. So even if it is my driving, that pedestrian suspension variable reduces effects of it.

Glad to be in the company of the no company drivers.

If you know someone who is particularly susceptible to motion sickness, get him/her a Reliefband. It's better than pills because it starts working immediately. You can turn it on when you need it without having to wait to ingest a pill.

"That truck doesn't see us he is going to run right over the car"
"Don't turn that fast"
"Watch out for that car" (somebody is turning 6 blocks ahead of us)
"Everybody is staring at ME"


All of this is accompanied by frantic door grabs and stomps on an imaginary brake pedal every single time another car is in sight.


Mind you she has also become that little old lady driver from hell that will not do anything beyond 5 MPH under the limit, hammers on the brakes and stops if she even thinks the light may change to caution, stays at least 10 car lengths back from anybody in front of her, comes to a complete stop before turning right into a lot and will rip your head off and shit down your neck if you point out any of these actually dangerous actions to her!

That whole list describes my dad to a T. He'll begrudgingly ride shotgun, but is only truly comfortable when he's the one who gets to drive.

I just crush up some Dramamine tablets and mix them into the pancake batter that I make for breakfast before a trip. She just "...loves it when [I] cook for a change....".

Kind of like Morning After Pancakes but with Dramamine instead of the Plan B pill. Made with love!

3 seconds faster than fast on a 1:15 race track may not feel smooth to some, even though it is smooth. My wife does not like getting in the car with me on the track because even though I rarely have a moment

These cars are designed for driving experience. Just like space mountain in disneyworld, you're going pretty slow but it feels pretty fast.
