I like Uber_Commuter's idea and will plan to take her to a car handling course or friendly track event. Almost forgot how much she enjoyed a BMW Drive for a Cause event we went to last year. She had a lot more balls hitting the throttle of that 650i.
Divorce is not an option. Finding someone who could drive stick was hard enough the first time around.

I taught my wife to drive stick the year we were married. She has always been a really good driver. I don't think she has ever curbed a wheel on my car, but I have.... and I hate myself for it
And she drives real 4x4 SUVs, so curbing those is near impossible.
I encourage her to drive my M3 constantly, but she was so intimidated by the turbos on the 135i that she has been very reluctant. I try to assure her this car is more like the Mustang GT she learned on but, almost 3 years now and she hasn't driven it once. I will work a little harder this season.
