I only let people drive my Denali when I'm under the influence and wasn't planning on it. Other than maybe 4 times, nobody has driven it.

The Tahoe is more my wife's truck than mine so I sometimes have to ask her for the keys!! She uses it to tote our little fella around and I'd much rather he be strapped into a Tahoe than the GTI I drive daily. I do, however get the "honor" of maintaining/cleaning it though....... :emotions122:

Technically, our Tahoe is my wife's. I drive the lifted Jeep. It was all part of the kid preparation plan. I wanted her and my kids (when they come) in something safe, reliable, and good for winter in Denver. Yes she has some quarks that get to me when she drives, but 98% of the time, if we're going somewhere together, i'm driving the hoe. On the other hand, she drives it every day to work in Denver traffic. I do everything i can to make sure it is what she expects it to be and has everything it needs to be safe when she needs it to be. O, and i also get to do all the maintenance and care for it too :)

So to the original post: if there's an option, i will drive. But i dont have a problem giving her the keys. She's a good driver (gotta love the midwest country roads for learning)

My wife drives the Tahoe maybe 5-6 times a month. She is actually pretty good with it and knows what to do and not to do. I can trust her not to go into boost because she's scared of it, haha. She won't drive it when it's raining though; breaks loose to easily and she knows that.

My wife hates when I drive her car, but only because she doesn't like to have to readjust everything. (Perhaps her next car will have memory.)

The wife drives my Tahoe about as much as I do if not more. I definitely know what you mean though. I hated her driving my BMW when I had it. If the Tahoe wasn't our "family" car I would probably be a lot more spastic about it as well.

i know it's an old thread but i hate the fact that my wife doesn't drive but she'll want to borrow the cars so a friend or family member can drive.

I really bought the Tahoe for her, so I don't care. We don't drive it that much anyhow. It doesn't matter to me.

Mine has her own Hoe. I dont like her driving mine and she doesnt like to drive it. Back seat is fine though :hump: She does drive hers like a sports car though and I, on occasion, grab the handle on the passenger side.
