Everyone wants a ride!!!

I can't be the only one that gets asked to ride or even drive my camaro! The place where I got my custom bowtie decal from, the guy there was BEGGING to drive my car! and just yesterday I was at the movie store and one guy was complimenting the car then asked for a ride. A new friend of mine always asks to drive it too. My kids only want to ride in my camaro even tho my b/f has a super nice charger r/t! My b/f thinks its cuz the guys just want to ride with a hottie but I think it's cuz everyone loves the look of the camaro

Had mine for a year and only two people have taken a ride in mine. Both had to pass strenuous background checks and a minimum of three personal references attesting to character and mental stability.

it's got to be because you're a hottie. no one has asked to drive, or ride my car. Except for the ex. lol

Just because a girl is hot doesn't mean she won't put her feet on the dash.

It's probably a combination of both! At first, every guy I knew wanted to drive her, and every girl or kid wanted a ride. Now, not so much - probably because I already gave them all a ride!

I've had lot of older women where I work ask about a ride in the car, even had one lady harassing one of her co-workers into flirting with me so she could get them both a ride...

It's the car, and if your hot, it's always a bonus

The only person other than me that has driven my car is my wife and she drove it for about 3 miles. She was scared of the power and she is out of practice shifting gears.

Oh yeah, my daughter drove it for about 1 mile. She is not covered under my insurance so I couldn't take the chance letting her drive any further.

Yes I have been asked numerous times to take people for rides. The best compliment is the people that want to have their picture taken while sitting in my car. I let a couple of boys that were under 12 years old have their picture taken while sitting in the car. I bet they will remember that for a very long time. I wonder if the picture is framed and hanging on their bedroom wall.

If someone wants a ride, I tell em to get an extra pair of shorts and come on. That usually causes them to pass.

The only person I would even consider letting drive it knows better than to ask. Anybody that does ask, gets told F no.

I have been getting a lot of that also . Actually there have been so many people at work that want rides and pics that I have been joking with management that I'm going to do a fundraiser for the Arthritis Foundation and sell tickets for rides, maybe a raffle for a 2 minute drive!!!

my sister wants to drive my car, of course I told her. when she gets miles under her belt driving a challenger r/t (shes buying one this month) I'll let her. Plus it means I get to drive her car as well
as for riding in the car, mother and sister have rode in the car with me. Then only 1 friend basically called shotgun (for whenever I drive the car ) so hes the only one who rides with me, my other friends never got a chance.

Most that I have encountered wanted to take it for a spin. Since I know they just want to dog the car just to see what it can do, I advise them where the dealership is located. When I bought the car they didn't allow test drives. Now you can test drive them any time you want. My wife doesn't want to drive my car so know no one drives it.

As for rides, ~cosigns with FEARER!
