This is exactly the reason my wife has made the decision herself never to drive my car, helped by the fact that she is no longer on the insurance!

I was more subtle and rebuilt it with fixed buckets so she can't reach the pedals - at least I'm still showing willing

My mrs does enough damage to mine while it's parked in the garage, theres no way i'd let her take it out on the road.

Dent master coming round next week after she bashed it with a fire place surround and god knows what else while moving stuff from the cellar to the garage.

she's going to look like this when i get back

Just make sure she doesn't strap some blocks of wood to the soles of her shoes

As soon as I had the body kit put on my missus made the decision herself as she had nearly crashed it already without!

Not having the splitter blended in would have caused less damage
