Wifey Autox
My wife is currently in the process of learning how to drive. She has a permit and will be taking the official driving test in a month or so. She's been doing well so far.
I want her to get a better feel for the car by taking her to some upcoming autox events and letter her take the Fit around some cones a few times.
Fellow Fitfreaks, what are your thoughts on this? Any autox events coming up locally (I'm in Delaware) that you recommend I take her too? I want to give her maximum feedback from instructors the whole time. Thanks for any help.

Auto cross would be a great way for her to learn. I think driving schools should include learning how your car feels and how to handle emergency situations. The Fins have a great driving program which includes learning how to do a reverse 180 turn.
Does DE have auto x events? All the ones I have seen have been in philly or NJ a couple hrs away.

Got her first truck in 1990 and from there it never stopped!!! She now has her dream drive 4-wheeler (2nd time around) but also enjoys driving the GK (yes, she can drive a manual tranny) cause its so much simpler to putter in around town.
Buds, you have been warned!!! LOL!!!
Just worried that future acquisitions for her may delve into your track day funds. Can't let that happen to our FF track-time guru!!!

Decades ago when I was dating my current wife, she didn't know how to drive so taught her how during the courtship. Little did I know what the future costs would be.

I agree. She can try autocross halfway through the learning process, if you wish to.

I never did follow through on this. I need to get back to asking if the Misses want to give this a try. I mentioned it way back when posting this and it totally slipped my mind since.
