Wives Driving Our Trucks!!!!

MY WIFE JUST DROVE OFF TO GO TO THE STORE IN MY TRUCK. IT'S THE FIRST TIME FOR HER TO DRIVE OTHER THAN MOVING IT OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY TO GET HER CAR OUT. IF THERE WAS I LITTLE SMILEY GUY SWETTING BULLETS, THIS IS WHERE I WOULD INSERT IT. WELL I BETTER GET OFF THE NET IN CASE SHE GETS STUCK AND NEEDS TO CALL THE HOUSE. BY THE WAY, HOW MANY OF YALL LET YOUR BETTER HALFS DRIVE YOUR TRUCK. OR EVEN BETTER, HOW MANY OF YOUR BETTER HALFS CARE TO DRIVE YOUR TRUCKS.

My wife loves to feed the deer and she will jump in one of the trucks to go get deer carrots/corn when she is out of food for the deer. I think that she likes driving the trucks and does so on other ocassions. She asked us to put AC into the one she drives the most and we are in the process of doing that.

Maybe it's because she's a bit of a good ole boy like me, she actually doesn't mind drving it. She drives it a bit more often since I replaced the tired 305 with a decent 350.

My orange and white 70 4x4 rides too rough for her, so she bought her own orange and white 70 swb !!!! Now i think she would give up me before her truck.

I'll leave that one alone.
My wife loved burning the tires on the old blue longhorn, bht she isn't too fond of the GMC.
The jurry is still out on the one ton.

I let my girlfriend drive my truck today by herself. ONLY because I wanted to hear how my new flowmasters sound.

I can't get my bride to even ride in it....

My wife won't ride in my truck, because of a harmonic sound that the exhaust system makes that annoys her. Let's see: It's got Hooker headers, feeding a pair of 40-series Flowmasters, dumping right in from of the rear tires, no carpet/minimal insulation under the rubber mat. Yep. Works for me.

She'd drive it, if I had it finished.

I am the WIFE!

I haven't got to drive the blazer cause it isn't done yet. When my hubby brought it home the first thing he did is strip it down to restore. I had never even sat in the seats yet! I can't wait to drive it and he says if I like it I can sell my Honda (I know, I know) and just drive the blaze!!!

I have 2 girls (23 and 25). They both actually learned to drive in my truck. They take it out every chance they get. The only problem I have is that one or the other gets pissed if I let the other do something with it.

Let my wife drive mine so I could hear the exhaust. She does not like it because of the clutch. She likes riding in it though.
