Wife problem solved WONT DRIVE L
Wife problem solved WONT DRIVE L
LISTEN UP !!
My wife kept asking to take the truck (L) to various places like getting her nails done , hair apts., etc. Are you KIDDING ME!!
How many door dings would I have? Also , the first time she nailed it (and she would ) do you think she could drive it sideways?
I know many girls can drive , but not my girl!
So heres what I did.
I took her out to a good place to get sideways.told her to hammer it from a roll and drive it back to straight.
I stood back and watched. She took off slow then hammered it (just as planned) and as the wheelwells filled with smoke the rear came around and all was looking and sounding sweet.
Then all hell broke loose , the truck took her for a complete 360.
When the smoke cleared out came the wife CURED!!!
She never wants to drive the F*#$ING thing again!!
Works everytime
GOOD LUCK with your better halves!

TOOO FUNNY!!!! That sounds like something my wife would do! She wouldn't touch my L until recently. Last weekend, I had a huge project going on at my house and my wife was going to get lunch for me and my buddies helping me. I am standing on the other side of the house and I hear my L fire up. I look at my friend, that is in view of the truck, with this look on my face like "no she is not". He just looks back at me and smiles and says. "HOLY $&*# we better look out, she is taking your truck!!! Needless to say, I didn't hear her get on it hard, but I did hear her when she went around the curve outside our development. She may be hooked, I haven't ask her if she raced anyone yet!!!
OH WELL, maybe I should let her do this and see if she really can handle it. She loved my Gen 1 L, and she did drive that one like it was stolen!!!

If that had happened to me & would have had to try it again. I took ours out the weekend after we got it. I took it the grocery store & talked with the cart grabbers as they stood there ogling the L. Nothing like making friends with those guys to make sure they keep the carts away from the truck.

Upon reading this thread I decided to TRY to 'break' my wife of the Lightning Bug. Just as you did, I went to a big vacant area and told her what to do. Result-
A. She did not one, not two, but three HUGE doughnuts.
B. Stopped the truck with a big evil grin and then powerbraked up and smoked them for what seemed like ten minutes.
C. Left me standing there flailing my arms and screaming 'STOP!!!' to go race a ricer that drove by when he saw the SMOKE CLOUDS BILLOWING from behind the wherehouse.
D. After she pounded the ricer, the returns the truck to me by POWERSLIDING sideways right in front of me.
Christ- she thinks she's the stunt driver in a 'Smokey & the Bandit' movie now!
Who would have thought that a 5'1" woman, with such a gentle soul, would transform into such an animal behind the wheel. Hell she can barely reach the pedals!! So I warn you my fellow L brothers- be careful turning over the keys to your lovely wife or girlfriend. Some get scared, some scare you!

I let the gf drive it stock once, and she didn't care much for it.........She said she felt the power, unlike anything she'd ever driven (she drives a V6 Mustang for god's sake), but that she wasn't that impressed..........
Couple weeks ago after the valve body install, chip, etc. I ran a Harley (don't know what type), with her and my best friend in the truck at a light......when she heard that 2nd gear BARK, she said, "I hope you're happy, cause I'll never be driving this again."
Needless to say, she was impressed with the mods. Wait till it sounds meaner, and has some more boost (maybe?
)

She may be setting me up!!
She does enjoy a full pipe blast as much as I do. I know something is going on because she has not turned the radio on since the Bassani's went on.
Oh well, she still can't drive it!!
And I told her, like I tell my kids and employees "The only whining I want to hear is FROM A BLOWER!!!"
Good luck to all!
Thank for responding!!

I had a similar experience with my wife and nitrous. Argued she could drive the truck on nitrous, so I siad lets go. Truned the bottle on, purged, headed down the road to freeway feeder. Told her when she turned the corner onto the feeder to hit it. Right in the middle of the trun she goes to WOT, after a 360 + 180 we were sitting in the street headed the wrong way, with another blast at a U turn we did another 360 and she got out and changed places with me. Nuf said.
