women are better drivers than we are. They have lower accident rates, cause less vehicle failure, and generate less stress in passengers (documented by research, don't have citation handy). My wife prefers for me to drive, simply because she gets to rest. But, she'll drive if I request it, and she does offer. I drive more than she does, but we both put in a substantial fraction of the miles. That holds with whichever vehicle we are using. since neither of us considers driving to be a sport, neither of us feels shortchanged if the other one drives. When she drives, I get to read. I seldom sleep in the passenger role. David McNeely ---- Jeffrey Olson <jjolson@GWTC.NET> wrote: > Back in the early 90s my girlfriend and I had an 82 diesel with an 87 > westy interior I installed.
