That works too, but my garage is filling up with toys too fast to keep old tires around for a just in case scenario. Latest toy - CAB Motorworks makes the Eagle electric mountain bicycle - goes 50 MPH, with insane acceleration. Haven't driven my F-type since they delivered it...

I'm not a Jimmy Choo kind of guy, but this was something I needed to come to grips with (pun intended). For over seven years I had an AWD car with 165 horsepower. With proper choice of modifications I got it handle very well, but there was never going to be any power so I lost touch with throttle control. Off to full throttle was drama-free in almost all conditions. Not so with RWD and more than twice the power, and mine is a mere V6. Fortunately, I've managed to avoid a reprise of "How I learned about poor throttle control on a superbike."

Ooooooooooookay..............................(whil e searching for the valium)
Let me see if I got this right ~ We bought a high performance car and now we want to star in "The Fast and the Furious"
So, a few disclaimers first:
1 ~ I am a woman
2 ~ I am blonde
3 ~ I have driven this car in the triple digits (very easy to do
)
4 ~ I have had this car on track ( Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course)
5 ~ I have never lost control of the rear end
6 ~ It does not get the privilege to be beaten up by salt and snow....and sometimes rain
And, now for my .02 cents:
Both of you need to take a couple of steps back and take a huge breathe
You need to buy a good life insurance policy on her
You need to buy her a pair of Jimmy Choo's without the lead bottoms
Before you let her play in someone else's sandbox, take her to Summit Point Motorsports Park | 4 Road Racing Circuits and Much More, it is where the Secret Service train. And, they have a Driver's Education weekend coming up in October. You would enjoy it also.
A nice E Pace may suit her.
You are a very smart man to come on this forum and ask for advice. You have a magnificent driving machine and we would all like to see it kept in one piece. All the advice given has been 'spot on.'
Enjoy in good health

And to the OP - please don't ever drive that beautiful gloss black machine in the snow. I'm imagining all the swirls in the finish after washing off the ice, salt and road grime....
