Would you let your spouse drive your RS6?

[sturs6]

Sean,
What does Lake Silver look like?

[Erik]

Sean I think it's safest if you start a new thread with pics and a story on the RS6s.

If you have pics I can host them, pls. mail to:
erikb(nospam)@rs6.com ---> remove the (nospam)

Well, spend 6750$ more on a boattrip and you can have one also.

Sean,

Where did you get it federalized for the states in order to be able to get it licensed. Do you have any pics of them two, I would love to see them as I am sure everyone else here would as well. Alot of guys on this board would have rather have had an avant than a sedan, as for me I dont like the avant thing to much. Must be nice to know you are the only one across the pond to have a avant.

Wife drives my car when ever she wants...she is a very good driver and I trust her compleatly. Hell I married her

She does track events in our S8 and has taken the RS6 out as well.

[avdh]

I hesitated to post, wondering if the subject at hand was still the wife driving the RS6.

Well for me it is simple, she does not want to drive the car, as she is scared of damaging it and piss me off for the rest of our lifes

In any case I am a terrible passenger. I just hate to be driven, so even with her car, if I'm in it, I do the driving.

My son has driven the RS6 once or twice and since he wasn't totally flabbergasted, I won't let him drive again

Well that's because I was next to him and he did not dare floor it....

[BBGT2]

I must apologize for not staying within topic mentioned, my humble apologizies to all involved.
I too also am terrible passenger to be driven, god forbid someone slams my beast's door above a certain decibel. Oh well she is mine and will be treated with respect unless I am the one mashing on the gas pedal, my motto is no one knows her like I do.

I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again - It's replaceable. I'm assuming everybody here drives with insurance. If something happens to the car, most likely, the passengers should be able to walk away from it with minor injuries (this, of course, is dependent upon speed). I love and baby my RS6, as I have with all my vehicles, but it's just a car...

...a really nice and fun car.

My wife has yet to drive my RS6.

She drove off more than once in my A6 4.2 sport and the grin on her face said it all. It took time but she admitted she really liked it! When her Maxima Lease is up, perhaps she'll get a new A6 4.2...

As far as the RS6 is concerned I offered several times but she declined to drive it. I have not asked again recently....LOL...she had her chance.

As with Ricky, my wife also uses the Beast as her daily driver while I'm at work. Don't have the money for a sports car AND a nice family car. That why I bought the RS 6. It is the BEST of both worlds. A safe all season performance BEAST that has the practicality of a errand runner for the Mrs. She takes good care of it and treats it just like I would.

Hey Brit!!

I am with you. I've had the Beast for 4 months, and the wife has not driven it yet. Why should she? She has a big, lethargic SUV to drive. Letting her drive the RS6 is like letting a monkey balance the checkbook. They have no idea what they are doing!

I used to encourage my mother to drive my RS6s before I got rid of them, she is over 80, her daily runabout is a 996 Turbo. She can also balance a cheque book.
My mistress is an experienced long distance racer (and International Event rider), my grandmother drove a 'racing' Bentley from Scotland to India.
I suspect all or any of these very fine ladies could wipe the floor with you; were you writing your drivel in the 19th Century, I could understand your antidiluvian attitude, today it is not acceptable. Comparing women to monkeys is not acceptable, neither is it humerous.

Ah, but are you quite with me? My post says my wife has never driven one of my cars, although she has driven company cars I've had in the past. This means I've never had to answer the question "would you?" until now.

She does intend driving the RS 6, but every time I say "how about now?" when we're out and about, she declines. I'm sure she'll have a go before I get rid of it, even if only briefly.
