She's 5'1", and says she can't see the front of the vette. Yeah, like I can...
I don't have a suggestion for you, just wish that was my problem.
Good luck, wish me the same to keep mine in the passenger seat!
 


If you have a wife who wants to share your passion and drive the car, HELP her! |hammer| Go to a parking lot where she can't hurt anything and set up the cones and help her learn the limits of the car.

I'm only 5'2" and it takes time and practice to get the hang of it. When Dave gets Bruiser finished with this spectacular paint job and the 454+ motor, I know it will take some getting use to. The parking lot thing would be a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon...that and an open road. Good luck!

You're right, Susan, I should teach her. She is the real love of my life, I'm just afraid of the way she drives, Some lead in that right foot of hers.
I didn't buy it to show off, I wanted a vette. A C3. The real vette....

She did it!

She drove it to the Japanese Steak house last night (about 5 miles) in afternoon rush hour traffic.

She said it was easy to drive, and other than having a hard time seeing over the hood, she had no problems!
