Would I let me mother-in-law drive mine....hell no. She has two bad knees and can barely walk.
Would I let my mother drive it...absolutely! She's been driving Corvettes for years.

First, as a woman, I would like to say I think it was very wrong of your wife to assume this would be ok....I am sure she has things or a possession she would not like someone else to use? I would never ask my Husband to let my Mother or one of my friends drive his F650.
My car is always cleaner and better detailed than my husbands...the Infiniti FX35, the 1975 C3 or the 2014 C7 is always cleaner than my Husbands hunting truck or F650.
I drive the sports cars, always has been my thing not his...some women would rather drive than ride.
He has not driven MY C7 yet, he is welcome to, but at this time has not.
Oh and BTW...I can and do cook also.
Just shows that most women have no respect for cars. They think they're all mini-vans, just to get to point A to point B. On occasion, I have women customers. Every one of their vans or SUVs are war zones. The brake dust on the wheels are 3 inches thick along with the crud that builds up on the paint when they decide not to wash it for 8 months. And don't get me started on what kind of a monstrosity I run into with the interior.
The only place for a women, in a man's sports car, is the passenger seat.

Cars are just things and can be replaced. The ONLY thing in life that is truly valuable is relationships.
I recently bought a Ferrari and told my wife, who never drives the Vette, that she should drive the Ferrari if for no other reason than to say she'd driven one. Let your mother-in-law drive the thing: it's just a car.

Sounds like your wife doesn't respect your hobby...wonder what else gets hen pecked into rank and file. Tell you what, whatever your wife is passionate about, find a way to be intrusive and compromise in which she has to vocally inform you of her disapproval. Then just brush off her objections and tell her how silly her personal investments are in whatever it is she does. Two way street.
Hoping this is a joke thread.

Oh man, this is too easy. Of course you are going let her drive it. You are going to act excited to show it to her, and honored that she is interested...
Then, when you get her in the car to show her around it a bit, you are going to rev the engine a couple of times, with NPP active. Then you are going to walk her through all the little tech stuff, with complete descriptions of how it all works, what it does, and spend alot of time on "rev match". And talk wildly excitedly and fast.
She will become so intimidated in about three minutes that she will be very happy just going for a ride and let you do the driving. I promise this will work.
The best part is, you come out the good guy and everyone's happy.

It's called a "no win" situation. Your response ensures you will still get laid.

Amen.
Or grow up and grow another pair.
What happened to men? The feministas are winning!
I told, yes told, my wife "I bought a new C7 Stingray today. " Guess what? she cooked my favorite dinner, AND did the dishes and put on lingerie
