I dont/wont race with them in the car. got to the point when we would go for a sunday cruise she would want to drive my WS6. well, no that it has H/C, TD's dumped with a wicked lope. she drove it once from the house to the gas station and she will not drive it. her reason "to much power". my daughters love it even more. they argue about who's going to get the car when they're old enough!! lol! so to your poll. I would believe I fall somewhere in between . they still go with me to car shows and gtg's but wife wont drive and I wont race only if I'm by myself.... 
Thats so awesome about your daughters! It reminds me of my dad when I was younger. They probably are going to grow up to be muscle car fanatics! I remember, when i was about 4, hiding underneath a blanked in front of the passenger seat of my dads 69 GTO as he staged it at the track. I remember hearing the guy tell him to roll his window up and I was afraid he would find me.... but he didnt. I felt my dad launch, then maybe about 60ft out, my dad told me to get up and buckle in. So i did just that with my little hot pink helmet that i loved, and it was the ride of my life at the time. I dont think my mom ever knew about this one..... but i really dont know, haha. My sister and I have been around cars and drag racing our whole lives thanks to our dad!

my girl is down, if she doesnt like it, she can stay home. i usually dont street race with anyone in the car but sometimes shes in the car when unexpected ricers flyby, but i was racing before i met her so she can either accept it or not.

My girl is the best!!! she loves helping me wrench on the car, and learning... she loves driving, and she loves go-karting with me.
this season she'll go on a ride along at the track, and then when she feels ready she'll take the car down the quarter mile!
i love this woman!!!

My fiancee is awesome, She plans on getting a GN or a Trans am, or maybe even a bike here soon. Whenever i tell her about good street races that she missed she gets pissed off about how she always misses the good races.
We raced a mach 1 up to about 140 and she just calmy sat there putting on makeup, it was funny.

My G/F down for racing took it up to 110 once she didn't say a thing just smiled. However, what I or we should I say her brother and I both want to race her car an 06 GTO (catback, CAI). She always has an excuse though "OHH I don't know how to drive stick well enough." Phfff just race already damn it women. The worst being she raced some guy the other day on the way to my house what family and your man aren't good enough but a stranger is lol.

My fiance loves the speed and when I take a long turn going fast, Ive never raced with her in the car though. I just dont want to take that chance with her in the car. Although she has a G6 GTP and when I pull up next to her she loves to try and race me. Its funny. But for some reason I wont race with her in the car. Maybe its because I love her too much. 
. No I do

I don't know if I'm just lucky or what.
My girl lets me do whatever. If my friends want to go to the bars, she just says, "Yah, go for it I don't mind. I'll just watch a couple of movies". It kinda puts me back. Then the other weekend, I took her to the Altered races where I helped with the Alcohol Altered and she just sat there and chilled, no complaints just kinda bs'd with us. I never have to watch a chick flick and we watch Boondock Saints and such. Maybe she's just doing this until we get hitched, then her real side will come out. BLEHHHH

I cant stand when people mess around with me in the car. A little bit is ok, but driving at any excessive speed is not. I dont like the lack of control, and I dont want to lose my life or be involved in a collision that injures or kills others because of someone elses poor decision. As much as we have heard people say they dont want to hurt people in their own car, how would you feel if you lost control and hit a car with a whole family in it, or hit a kid on a bike?
