No need to be embarrassed Fishe! I'm far from the protective husband type, so no worries. Indeed I have taught her a few things about how high rpm's are a good thing, and how the SVT is made for such high-speed driving, and she seems to be learning well. She's not afraid of speed either (as you noticed), which may stem from riding around with me for the last 6 years or so
.
As for her not autocrossing, I think she has that fear of making a fool of herself. I know that she wouldn't, and I may yet get her out there one day. Sold the dedicated autocrosser though (85 MR2) :(, so I may have to get her out there in the SVT next year. I'll be in a black WRX wagon, by the way.
