And you are right, it is only a car, but one that is easier to damage by inattentive driving than an SUV. And since that inattentive driving can cause damage that requires money to fix, shouldn't one take that into consideration when deciding who can drive it? Just because she is your wife doesn't mean she'll take good care of things. But we love them anyway!

all very good, valid points.
my wife is a pretty careful driver, i do not worry that much about her
driving it...
BUT, she will not "park" the car like i do. if there is not a very safe spot away from other car doors, i will glady park 30 - 50 yards further so some moron will not ding my doors!! my wife would never do that.....
therefore she has never taken my car out without me.
