Who else has driven your Camaro, if anyone? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I won't let anyone drive my Camaro when I get it.

I learned a lesson from my older brother. He and a buddy went to a party and they took my brother's car which he had worked on and modified considerably. It wasn't a Camaro, but it was his sports car. Anyway, he and his buddy went to this party and his buddy left his coat in the car. After he had a few drinks, the buddy was getting chilly and asked my bro to borrow his keys so he could get his coat out of the car. Twenty minutes later, his buddy comes back groveling and saying, "I'm sorry! I'll pay for it!" He had wrapped my brother's car around a tree. Totalled. He had taken it joy riding.

No one drives my Camaro but me.

My GF has driven it. Other than that - service guys, performance shop, guy at the alarm shop. Those were all from the driveways into their garages

Otherwise, no one has driven her but my GF - with and without me

She's always very afraid when she drives The Beast though - afraid something's going to happen to Her and then I will be pissed forever! I love her!

Oh, my GF too!

Wife, both Daughters 14.5 yrs old and 18, oldest Daughter's suitor (made his day), several coworkers, several friends, hell it is just a car. A great looking and unique car. Something special to be shared.

No one except for my husband..and that seems rare..but I don't care when he does drive it.

ssmike · 12-18-2009, 03:05 PM

My best friend and motorhead, my son-in-law,and my brother-in-law have driven it only on my offer! All 3 I trust and I was in the car with them! In regards to the above post about letting a valet park it...

NEVER!!!!

ljustin293 · 12-18-2009, 03:09 PM

no one...

my friends want to drive it...

sorry but no...I'm 20 and my friends are around the same age...I think not

I was very fortunate to be able to "pay it forward" so to speak. I consider it a rare honor and a privelage to be one of the few and proud that owns this American legend. In October my car club had a fundraiser for a 18 year-old kid that had been in a roll-over tractor accident. He almost died twice, nice, nice kid too. He was still in a wheel chair when I meet him, but after begging me to let him sit in my car, I said "Let's go for a ride." I let him drive it and gun it at the stop light. I've never seen a grin that big!

my dad, and financial advisor. figured the financial guy would be able to replace it if he killed her... but thats all, no one else. my 12 year old figures it will be his first car thanks to dad.........NOT!!! lol

Steph drove Bee Bee around the block. Then Kathie drove it once with Zac with her and Zac said the speedo was up over 90. Kathie has not driven it since.

bolteon593 · 12-18-2009, 03:16 PM

several friends, my mom... my little brother, etc etc etc...

it's just a car people... meant to be used.

elpatofeo · 12-18-2009, 03:17 PM

Basically close friends that I trust only, which so far has been four. One of my female friends drove it cuz I was drunk and she was sober, my brother and my sister! Brother and sister have been the only ones to drive my car without me being in the car with them, other than that I have to be in the vehicle at all times!!

daphatgrant · 12-18-2009, 03:21 PM
