Maybe I missed it in one of your zillion posts about your new car so forgive me if you already answered this but I have to know...
How does your wife like the car? Does she like driving it? How does she like riding with you? (etc., etc.)

She LOVES the new car. LOVES it!!! She was a bit intimidated at first by the paddle shifters and all the different buttons, but she gets it now and loves it. I think I'm a bit more nervous though. I can just see it... On the train, heading into work on the LIRR and I get the call... "OK, don't freak out. It's not that bad. But..." LOL!

You didn't miss it. I haven't mentioned my wife since I got the new car, Rudy. In fact, for the last week, I forgot I was married. Hahahahaha! Just kidding.

Glad your wife likes the car -- I can imagine the feeling you're going to have on the train tomorrow!
I'm lucky enough to have a wife that's too frightened to drive my cars! I'm sure she'd be fine but she's too intimidated to drive it -- even when I'm with her and am begging her to give it a try! I guess, in the long run, I'm totally cool with that. I never have to worry like you're going to tomorrow!!

Homeboy - I saw you on Jericho Tpke this afternoon when I was coming out of Mario's Pizza. I heard a smooth exhaust, look up, and dang...sweet ride. Not sure how i'd handle an M5, but no doubt i'd try to race everyone at a light...even a prius
