It seems like since I got my Impreza, Subaru fever has caught on with many of my friends and family. My fiance is even interested in one, so I decided to go on a bit of a road trip with her. Whenever I take a corner a little too quickly, she gets nervous. I figured it's not because she's a wimp, but rather that she's not used to the control you can get from AWD and a lower center of gravity. We drove out to my favorite road just south of Blair, NE. After a quick Chinese Fire Drill, she was in the drivers seat. I wanted her to feel confident behind the wheel so, the next time I took a corner with a little more gusto than she's used to, she'd know the car could handle it.
Turns out not only did she have a good time, but she got a little greedy and kept driving! The route has plenty of twists and turns and, once she was comfortable with it, I started giving her a few tips for approaching corners and such. After dodging a gigantic turtle and a few more corners, she turned the wheel back over to me and we headed back into town. I think she's ready for a Subaru, now.
