Nope. Other than the previous owner, I'm the only one who has or will drive mine. Nothing against people who let other people drive theirs, but I'm not doing that. Personal preference.

I've let my nephew-to-be, he was afraid to use the launch control. My co-worker, one of our vendors(he let me drive his Ford GT, 429 AC Cobra kit car, and his Olds 442 so I couldn't really object) and my sister. Being a mechanic with a car that I didn't build from the ground up, I am not overly protective. It's just a car, but a very fun car.

I'd let anybody take a drive in my ZL. But, they'll have to dig down 6' to get the keys from my cold, dead hands.

The only person I have ever let drive mine is my dad. I wanted to see what the acceleration felt like on the passenger side. Also, the guy that did my alignment yesterday took it for a short drive. Wasnt a fan of that, but oh well. Hes gotta double check his work.

I let my friend drive mine when I went to get my vertical doors installed, that was 16 hour road trip. He has a camaro also, so I trusted him. I let my brother,my wife and my best friend when we drove to Las Vegas,another 16 hour road trip. He could afford to fix it if he wrecked it. Another friend I offered to let him drive it and he said no because if he drove it he would want to get one too.

Only close family and always supervised. If some other person would ask if they could borrow my camaro.....man the look on my face would be priceless. I probably would not have to say no lol!!!!!!!

Wasn't my Camaro, but a few years ago I had a bad ass Cutlass. It was time for new tires one day, so I took my buddy along for the ride, with the full intention of scrubbing all remaining tread off of the tires on the way to the shop. Lit 'em up off of every stop, spun brodies where required. Got sideways, drifted, and worked it hard... what a blast. My buddy asked if he could try his hand at it, and I figured (in the way that rednecks figger thangs!), "What could possibly go wrong?"
At the next stop sign, no traffic around, we traded places. From the time he put in in gear, until the time the car was perfectly vertical, sideways on the passenger side, oil pan looking at sunset, was less than five seconds. Last edited by Scalded Dog; 01-16-2014 at 09:49 AM. |

My wife and I drive it and no one else, but the same is true for her Taurus.

Usually no but really, as others have said, it is JUST a car and not a very expensive one at that.
I let my girl drive it when I first got it and she smoked the clutch so bad it made me cry. From the smell and the heartbreak |
