...and I'm trying to find a way to block the dash speedometer so my wife can't obsess over my speeding. Maybe black electrical tape? Of course, once I reach the level of shear terror in her eyes, then the actual MPH doesn't really matter anyway.

Last week, after the ride home from dinner, it took me 5 minutes to remove her fingernails from the door handle that were embedded in it as she was sure we'd not make it home alive....

Thanks for your service jshot00!

Personally I like the thread. I was thinking of a G meter on her side. But she can tell when I corner hard because her *** slides to the left or right. But at least there's room to slide, it could be pinned to the console and door.

Speaking of which, clothing manufactures need to place relevant labeling on the rear end of women's clothing. I saw one the other day that said Juicy across her backside and what was really needed were a couple pilot vehicles and a WIDE LOAD sign...

Not quite as funny when you have to explain em, huh? I picked up on the tongue in cheek nature of your comment immediately. My late wife rarely ever looked at how fast I was going because I had conditioned (terrified) her with my various performance cars since we were in high school. She wasn't even a white knuckle passenger on the twisties. Not saying she liked it. She ignored it.
