She's Not a Fan

I guess she wasn't too comfortable being in the passenger seat. Hysterical link:

Its funny how the volume of her yelling is directly proportional to the RPMs of the engine.

a bit different though when you are getting the feedback as the driver and also have a steering wheel to hold onto. . . definitely a different sensation. . . either way she was a bit rediculous

Well, two comments:

1. I am a terrible passenger. When BMW CCA- NJ asked (decades ago) if I wanted to be an instructor, all I could envision was my foot breaking thru the floorboards of every car....while I stomped on the imaginary brake pedal.

2. As I posted for the girl in the plane video here, she sounds like every woman with whom I've had sex, but usually there was a lot more vomiting.

So I'll be advocati diaboli, could it be a set up? How many of us would do that to somebody? And continue driving after they became hysterical?

I have no problem with it. Wasn't it her decision to try this?

My g/f was interested to hear that I used to double whatever the curve was marked. We came upon a 90 degree turn, marked @ 15. She said I should try doubling it. This surprised me, as she hates going fast and fast cornering is worse for her.

I went thru @ 45 mph, while she screamed and tried to dive under the dashboard (yes, in an Elise).

I cautioned her about staying where she belongs, i.e. upright in the seat, so the meager safety devices might have a chance of working.

Next time, who knows what she'll do?


Yrs ago, a g/f managed to scream at the apex of every turn taken quickly. I asked if she could get her screaming done during braking.

I probably would stop, but then again my g/f would be screaming faster harder when I go into the turn. . . hmm deja vu?

Stop Screaming

"I asked if she could get her screaming done during braking"

As a noobie to the track, I found this quote very entertaining!
