So I let my wife drive my G8 GT . . .

[Oldtimer]

My parents both have g8 GTs and I got one, so there are 3 in our extended family.
My dad thinks both of their G8s are his, but my mom claims the sport red one. I hope they sell one, so I can harvest some mods off it

We might be close to that. My son has a 2005 GTO, so essentially we're an all Holden family.

Two G8s in the family, mine black and my dad's silver... i let him drive my car one day after we went to a chevy dealership to look at the new camaros (that they wont let you test drive which is ridiculous) and he really liked the sedan. His year of new car searching came to end when he found the G8 he really wanted, and now really really enjoys. Gotta love these things!

My dad and my brother each have 2004 GTOs too! To top it off, my son's name is Holden (named him that before the madness). Here is a pic of a few of the cars together from this past summer.

No other g8's.. got an 01 camaro z28 that I bought brand new.. the g8 is my wifes car... she picked it out after seeing one on the highway... of course.. didn't take my talking to convince me to get one.

I had to take the wife's Odyssey in for some service a few weeks back which meant she got to drive my G8 for the day. I was afraid after she had a dose of V8 horsepower again I might be relegated to driving the van more often. I dodged a bullet on this one because she still likes the van more.

I too am concerned with the wife taking over the G8. I found a 100% fix-all to prevent this from happening though. I is called Pypes exhaust. I like the way it sounds, wife claims I ruined the car. My son likes the sound, so we are keeping 'em.

my fiancée has a tC which is way too small for me...

anyways, I let her drive it around a little before, when we out and I responded to calls...

but, when I had to go to MA a month or so ago for work, I had my boss drop me off by my parent's house in RI.. She was going to meet me up there and spend the weekend at my parents... I DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE THE tC FOR 200 MILES ON THE WAY BACK DOWN so I convinced her to take the G8, which she thinks is too big, and when she got there, she said "Wow, its much smoother than my car."

she also confessed that she did 89mph in it as well, and the only reason she realized it is once she passed 85, the car went DING DING... lol... she said "Wow, I barely have to press the gas getting on the highway."

congrats on the second G8 btw!

You know my wife actually said the G8 was too quiet when I first got it and wanted to know what I was going to do to make it louder. I just haven't found the time to make it louder yet.

Thanks!

We're now sneaking up on 1,000 miles on hers, and she still raves about it. In terms of comparison to her 2007 Malibu, it is such a more stable platform.

We were in it a few days ago, and I spent some time pointing out other cars: "You can take him, and him, and that one, and that other one over there."

Her response: "Really, wow, cool!"

Doubt if she'll ever act on it, though.

+1. I did this. Except its my husband who thinks it is ruined.
