A.  I hate driving my wife's car if I can avoid it. (underpowered
automatic with mushy suspension)
B.  I don't particularly enjoy being a passenger when my wife is
driving. (!)
C.  My wife won't drive my car. (bad experience with a manual trans in a
former life)

So, yes, we take my car when it's just the two of us.  She used to whine
and tell me to slow down a lot.  Oddly enough, she quit doing that as
much when I went SP (lite) and stiffened up the car.  I guess it must
have been the body roll that made her cringe.  Now she only complains
when I make an abrupt lane change or something.  Oh, and she doesn't
like the way my Delrin bushings squeak when they get wet.  So far, she
is still willing to ride in the car, though.
