My wife has logged plenty of time in the driver's seat of our Midget and our
MGB-GT over the years. However, in recent years, most of the flight plans
she's attempted to file involve parking the car at a shopping mall.....an
instant non-starter. She also does not like to drive with me as her
passenger. She says my past history of racing (a LONG time ago, SCCA
E-prod.) intimidates her.
Currently, I'm building her a '77 MGB, which she can drive without
restriction, in nice weather.

You are indeed a lucky man, Bud. Had it been my wife she would have taken
the keys from me and made me fold my 6' frame into the passenger seat!!
