Who else has driven your Camaro, if anyone? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My husband on occasion and on one of those HE let his brother drive it. Nobody else and it will probably stay that way except the people at the dealer when it goes for service.

Mayhem · 12-18-2009, 02:50 PM

Nobody.

Aside from anyone involved in transporting it on/off truck anything done @ factory/dealership etc... But that doesn't count..

Most of my family can't drive stick. Dad can but doesn't wanna drive it "just in case". He's about the only person I would allow to drive it.

My girl doesn't know how to drive.

Friends? hahah... They'd have better luck finding the end of a rainbow.

My precious......

WOW ITS ONLY A CAMARO, its not some godly machine. My aunt, stepfather, best friend, neighbor, best friends friend whom I didn't even know and brother have driven this car. Its really nothing special about it. Now if you had asked who has driven my M6, only me and the wife drive that car.

People quit treating this car like its the best thing since slice bread.

My best friend drove it. He and I are excellent drivers and he is one of the few people I would trust to drive my Camaro.

Ummmm.... hi.... welcome to the CAMARO ENTHUSIAST forum...

bi11ymc · 12-18-2009, 03:04 PM

I will let most anybody drive it that is comfortable with a manual transmission.

My Corvette was brand new and I met a guy at a Corvette met who was interested in the new Vettes. This was in 1998. He owned a restored 1964. I tossed him the keys and said let's go! He was very appreciative.

I let anybody at work drive it that wants to. I say hey, you want to drive it, and sometimes they say sure! But sometimes they say no, they are afraid to.

For some of us thats about as high we will go with a sports car. Not all of us can afford a M6 at the same time.

Had to let my dad drive it, since his Camaro was the start of my obsession at age 2!

Had to let my husband drive it - I don't like sleeping alone.

Had to let my brother drive it, to make sure it was capable of laying a nice pair of rubber tracks - just once! It's very capable.

I think my husband let a couple of friends drive it when I wasn't around.

gjordon · 12-18-2009, 04:07 PM

My wife has driven it of course.. after all, she gave me the nod to buy it. My son (27) has driven it as well.. mind you that he never asked, I tossed him the keys and said "lets go!" after driving about 30 minutes and seeing he was very comfortable, I finally told him.. "the accelerators on the right!" the smile that came across his face when punched it was priceless and I hope that memory stays with him as it has me for a long time.

Outside of those, one of my employees has driven it as well, but insistance from me.

mikel441 · 12-18-2009, 04:15 PM

I only let my wife drive the car (other than myself). I trust her implicitly. In fact I would put her driving skills up against anyone.

Then our very own Xanthos had his way with her and she'll never enjoy having her paddle shifters rubbed as much as she did when he did it that very first time, then there was this tall well-built guy at a tire store, then another really cute young guy that drove her to new heights (car lift) also at the dealership....well I think that's about it, but I think I need to buy her a little black book for Christmas!

We definately know the way to your... Camaro

! It seems to like the "Tall, Well Built, Blonde, Blue Eyed, Really Cute" MEN out there. You might want to get a Big Black Book. I'm just saying...

No one drives my Camaro! Well, maybe you, but don't tell the wife

(she's afraid to drive it).

Edit: Love the Santa hat!

How about it's a dangerous machine in uneducated, unskilled hands, period. 400 horses is more than most have ever had in the vehicle they have driven... I didn't even trust myself at first.

BTW... have you seen the video of the Father letting his son have the keys to his new GT500, and the son immediately drove it through the back of the garage?
