I've gotten some squeals when giving students a ride around Waterford Hills in my Miata. Still trying to get the GF to come out with me

I really can't understand that kind of insane panic reaction. Also, that looked kind of dangerous she was flailing all over the place; could have hit the shifter or something important - bad idea.

Ricardo has the better "sport" for a wife; cute, laughs (even at herself) and has passion. What's not to like?

She was screaming before they even got off the pit road! My guess is that she liked it, and he did not spend the night on the couch

Most of that isn't screaming, it's the gearbox. Unless she's synchronized with road speed. Although there are some real screams, and the facial expressions are great.

I took my wife for a ride in the V8 powered Targa Miata through a narrow, bumpy stage. We caught air (1:45) and hit a dip that smacked her elbow into the padded roll cage hard enough to hurt badly (2:08). She's not liable to become the subject of a viral video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaJ678KCDWk

In highschool my mother asked to ride along for an autocross. It was the first and only time I've been called, as my mother put it during the first slalom, a "berkeleywad."

I took my youngest son out in my ITB GTI at Waterford Hills several years ago. With the extra 60 lbs of "ballast" on board I managed my best ever lap up until that time. About the 4th lap , he looks over and says" When are we going to go fast, Dad?".
