We are fortunate to have 3 vehicles so the Ex is primarily relegated to snow and tow duty. My wife rarely drives the Ex and NEVER drives it while towing our 9000# TT. Plus she can't pull it out of the garage...well she can but she is afraid to because the mirrors 'tick' the weatherstripping on BOTH sides when going thru the door...you can always pull in the mirrors though. She will NEVER pull it into the garage if she has driven it as it is a very tough turn to get thru the door because we have a side load garage that actually requires backing up the driveway to negotiate the turn!...you better be sober pulling her into the garage!

Here is a quick picture of the garage...

 

Wife hates driving mine, but prefers to take it everywhere. She drives an 09 Wrangler Unlimited and I actually have to make the choice to take it out occasionally. We live on a narrow country road and she fears passing another car. You should have seen me trying to convince her to drive my old Mustang when we were dating. It is a 5 speed and she would burn the tires off when taking off. Now, I cant even get her to ride in it.

 

My wife absolutely will not drive mine! She has never even been behind the wheel of it. She prefers her Corolla, which I often remind her has a sewing machine engine under the hood, instead of a 'real' motor. I keep telling her that one of these days I am going to accidentally back over it in the driveway and just hear a little crunch, kinda like a soda can. When it bogs down going up hill I ask her if the bobbin needs re-threaded Mike

 

I bought my X for her an she loves to drive it every chance she gets. She loves tkaing to to college and whatch peoples expresions when she gets out of it. She is very petit and asian to boot. LOL

 

We bought our X for my wife after we had our baby. She absolutely loves it to say the least. She actually made a comment the other day that we are going to have to keep this thing going for a lot of years since they don't make them anymore. Gotta love her

 

My wife didn't want to drive it at first but now that she has driven it she likes it...a lot! I'm trying to talk her into getting rid of her truck, 99 4Runner, to get another X. She said she wants the 2011 stang instead...can't see why though......lol.

 

It's her daily driver and the kids love it. I don't really like driving it but it's paid for so....

 

My wife loves the Ex but refuses to take it if she has to go shopping and try to park in a parking lot. Fair enough. The kids LOVE the Ex.

Ours looks like a swat truck and I have even had a cop come up to me thinking we were their swat team - true story. She loves how people move out of the way for her and when some moron is tail gaiting her, she likes that she has a very effective way of getting them off her butt with a little dose of soot.

 

My wife enjoys driving ours. She hates parking it so she leaves it way out in the lot. I know I'm in trouble when she says I need the Ex and take out the back seat(big shopping). We just bought her a 2010 Escape,alot easier to get around in. But I still love the EX more

 

I was hoping this was gonna be a photo thread. Disappointed. I'm outta here!

 

 

My wife loves our truck...she just can understand why her husband spends soo much time and money on it...she likes it high and tight with the "Mini-lift" and tuner...but now she's bugging me for a brake upgrade...

 

Post your wife up here to get the ball rolling. (In the Ex).

 

I had an unexpected reaction to our EXC the first time I drove it to our branch office in San Antonio, the manager came out to tell me that all the employees were trying to run out of the back of the building! Our black EXC scared them, thought we were the INS.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHA - that is awesome! Gotta love the Ex and all its manly magnificence!
