Hell, my wife doesn't even drive it! Actually, that's her choice, she doesn't want to drive it ... and I don't have a problem with that

Only three people are insured to drive my cars, so the answer is no.

Granddaddy was smart. I would also add money to that list, if you want to keep them as a friend. Some of the best money I ever spent was a "loan" to get rid of someone. As soon as they get the money, they somehow become really scarce.

Nope. No one else has driven it since I've owned it and no one else will drive it besides me. My girlfriend doesn't want to because she's afraid she will mess it up. My friends drive too aggressively and constantly remind me how they would go through sets of rear tires like crazy if they drove it (why they feel the need to tell me that I do not know). My brother can't drive his own car very well and constantly has clutch issues so that's a no go. My dad just never wants to drive it either. I'm happy with no one else touching it.

not a chance.

Only 1 friend...

kmarshall2121 · 08-25-2015, 10:27 AM

I only allow 3 people to drive mine: me, myself, and I

I don't understand this "can't drive a stick". I guess it's a generation thing.

Everyone I know can drive a standard transmission. And believe me, I know a LOT of people.

gpskinzhut · 08-25-2015, 10:40 AM

My girlfriend has driven it several times, and my mom. Other than that, nah.

Pretty sneaky posting this one lol. Don't know if you can handle it with the top down and everyone staring at you while you blow past them

I always ask the folks that they can take a quick cruise in it but they never do.

BigJ · 08-25-2015, 11:52 AM

Only my wife!!!

The only one besides my wife is my 16 year old granddaughter... but only at autocross. She's been my co-driver since she got her learner's permit.

No way.

To go on a little rant about people driving my car, I actually just had my car in the paint shop to get the hood painted and stupidly assumed that it wouldn't be driven. However, to my surprise, when I took delivery, it had 3.5 miles on the trip odometer. The shop manager fed me some BS story about having to take it to their other location down the road because the buffing bay at their shop wasn't ready. Oddly enough though, my brother-in-law had his bumper re-painted earlier in the week at this same shop, and his car came back with only .4 miles on the odometer. So you tell me why his had very little mileage and mine came back with 7x as much..... Anyway, I had to drop the car back off because they did a shit job on the paint, but this time, I put a 2750 rev limiter on the car....Plenty of RPM to drive around the parking lot or even go drive to a shop, but not enough to get crazy with it. It just sucks that you don't know who to trust anymore to do the right thing or tell you the truth.

Wow................so sorry to hear that you feel this way.
