I just got back from taking the wife's car for a spin around the rural backroads. It's not a great car by all means; a tiny little '95 Holden Barina hatchback with a 1.3L engine. But it's small, and low and light, with 'non power' steering and really small wheels. An automatic (it'd be more fun as a manual) it reminds me of a rally car, so of course most of the circuit was spent with my foot flat to the floor.

It went really well on the dirt.

When I got home the wife asked where I went, how fast did I go and said 'you thrashed it, didn't you?' (she knows me). Like I said, a cheap little car but it was a fun drive...

How many of you have taken the wife's car for a spin and 'thrashed it' just a little? How many of you owned up to it?
