Do you let other people drive your Camaro?
I've had my Camaro for two years now. When I first bought it I was super obsessive about who got to drive it and not valet parking it. Now when I go to a restaurant that valets I always use the service (still check the mileage and condition after and am usually a little nervous about the experience though). My car is a LS3, so I've taught a few people how to drive a manual transmission on it and don't worry too much about it anymore if I'm in the car with them. Anyone else pretty lenient with their car or are most people on here really anal about who gets behind the wheel? I added a poll for people to vote to make this a little more interesting.

I'm still super anal about who I let behind the wheel... one person other than me has driven the car and it was NOT my husband
some of my buddies have gone as far as trying to take my keys from my back pocket and sneak a ride. (I think I may get my pops to help me put a kill switch on her) he put one on his SUV... long story but lets just say and ex-wife was involved

A week after I got mine my wife and I had to switch vehicles for the day. I was a little nervous because she had never driven anything like it before and I was mainly concerned about her parking at her office lot. Other than that, the only other person that's driven it was a buddy that I had drive me around so I could see what it was like from the right side. It's not that I wouldn't let people drive it, but I probably won't go around offering it up
Of course that may change as time goes on. She is my DD, so in 4 months I've put 5k on it |

i've let two people drive mine, my dad and one of my friends. i only let my friend drive it off the street and into a driveway since i was a bit under the influence, and i let my dad drive it because i thought i could trust him, but he scraped my front lip parking in a lot and nailed a nasty pothole going pretty fast. still not sure if he bent my rim or not, but im hoping not. that's the last time i ever let anyone drive her.
at least my dad owned up and offered to replace the rim in the event it was shot though

Just my brother,
Funny story though. I got into an argument (heated discussion) with my girlfriend because I wouldn't let her drive it. My reasoning being that she didn't pay enough attention on the road. A couple hours later she calls me crying because she ran into the back of a truck that stopped (suddenly) at a stop sign. Thats the only day that she actually agreed I was right about something, now I have to drive her everywhere. |

My wife, father and brother. That's all that have and that is really all that I would ever allow. My father always let me have his Vette. My brother basically gave me his Challenger to drive for the entire time I was visiting last time. And the wife is the wife. I actually think it is attractive when a woman knows how to drive a performance car properly.

Its a car. Mine only has 770 miles on it and my wife drove a buddy, my brother in law, my sister, mother in-law. Spring I am going to autocross it and let my buddy try it there.
