Hey, this is big news, really! She was nervous about driving my new Elise, for she had seen how I was with my MR2. I kept reassuring her that the Elise was different, I wouldn’t be as bad as I was with the MR2 (this is true, though I expect I’ll degenerate back to the obsessive car owner profile in a few years). So, she opted for trying out the car in a parking. We found a nice, big one that was very empty and very safe, and I turned the keys over to her. I think she was a little surprised at just how easy the car was to drive, and she really seemed to like it (as evidenced by the huge grin on her face as she got a feel for its cornering abilities). Like me though, she noticed the large blind spots the Elise has and felt more comfortable letting me drive it home (how could I refuse…).
(up to 550 miles now…)
