I'll let me wife drive it if she wants, but she's scared to. She's not terribly comfortable with a 5-speed, and knows I baby my car. The only time she's been in the driver's seat was when she volunteered to detail my interior.

s100 and p21s are pretty much the same thing.
personally i would go with a different wax. p21s/s100 contains alot of beeswax. It's great for beading water, but the protection isn't as much as carnauba. I'd look into something like natty's blue from poorboy's or souveran by pinnacle.

i let my ex wife drive my car, note the "EX", i had a custom blue and black pearl painted fabulous bodykitted xB. i tell her to take it slow as my car is on air suspension, and lift it up using these switches. i come home from work after taking the bus, *cuz she had a longer drive than me* to see my front bumper in my lawn, my rear bumper cracked everywhere, but still hanging on, my sideskirts warped bent and cracked, chrome laying on the ground, with her frantically running around my garage to put the stock pieces on. busted. turns out she hit a huge pot hole followed by a large piece of wood? which pinched my AEM CAI completely closed, and choked out the engine, completely destroyed my front bumper to where only one foglifght was distinguishable, the wood rolled down my vehicle which warped n cracked my skirts, and got caught on the rear bumper which ripped off, so she bolted it up first. ripped one air line to my rear left. so theres my story, let her drive if you want, and the amazing part is i got in trouble and i was put on a "no sex diet" because i got home and flew off the handle. think wisely my friend, think wisely

HAHAHAHAHAHAH...no. The only other person to drive my car is my dad. For one reason, I know if he F'ed anything up he would be able to pay for it, and would. When its something I myself am paying hard earned money for I get very protective.

I try to avoid it as much as possible. She'll try and trick me into letting her use my car, like "Oh can i use your school parking pass so i can go to the gym.....can you wash my car for me while i'm at work" But there's always ways out of it. Cuz she does NOT know how to keep her car clean for the life of her.

Lol I know how all you guys feel... my gut instinct tells me never to let anyone touch my baby...
But I do let my wife drive it... but only because I know she's a very very good driver. It's once in a very blue moon anyways since she's afraid of messing it up hehe

My wife drove my tC for a day and now she refuses to ever drive it.
According to her, it just doesn't whip around turns as sexily as her Mazda 3
The sad part is... I agree .... but man do I love dusting her in the straights.

I let my gurl drive my tC...cuz I taught her how to drive stick in my 98 corolla and she knows how to drive pretty good..She's into cars too and has a 98 tiburon 5-speed dropped on aerospeed springs, dual angel eye kit, and a metallic jet black paint job, so I know if she drives my car, she damn well better be careful with it just like she is with her little car..... 
She rarely drives it tho cuz she says its too big for her....shes only 5' 3"!!! And I agree with her from her point of view cuz after I got used to driving the tC, I went to go move her car and I felt like I was in one of those little clown cars!!!! You know the ones that are the size of a power wheels and 6 or 7 clown get out of it!!!
