So far, other than myself, I've let my father take two runs down the drag strips, let my best friend drive it with me in it and I'm currently in the process of teaching my fiancé to drive a standard transmission on it.

That's not counting the shops that have driven it for body work or one person that has tuned it.

I love the thing, she's my baby, I do everything I can to keep her clean and pristine, but at the end of the day, it's a car and that's what I try to remember

I have let my cousin drive, I trust him. I have also let my 17 year old son drive it.I love my car, and I love my children, and want them to enjoy it too. I am much more concerned that something may happen to my boy than any car. He is a smart kid and I trust him. He is a teenage boy, and it is a bad a_ _ car I hope he truly is as smart as I think he is.

When I bought my car I didn't have a car (my truck was totaled). I originally went to the dealership with one of my best friends in my mom's S2000. Didn't think I'd leave with a Camaro but the deal was just right. But this left me in a predicament. My friend would either be the first person to drive my new car or he'd be driving my mom's S2K. To put it in perspective my mom barely let me drive her car, it was her pride and joy.

I called her and she said she'd let my buddy drive her car because she knew how important that first drive is. Kudos to my mom! But I thanked her specifically because it was a joy to see my 6 foot 2 inch 250 pound friend drive the S2000 on the highway. Entertainment all around, with my new car and with my buddy crammed in a clown car....

With that being said only two ppl have driven my car other than me. My mom's fiance drove it when I was out of town (didn't discover any new scratches) and I once let a girl try her luck with a stickshift, don't know how she talked me into that. That was scary, isn't happening ever again!

This is one of the many reasons i love my M6

Both of these explanations are spot on!

Only people I REALLY trust, basically only family that I know can handle it. So far my dad and uncle are the only ones, my grandma can drive it when ever she wants as she let me drive her Chevelle quite a bit. Wife isn't touching it though lol

Offered one friend to drive it, but he respectfully said no. Probably won't offer to anyone besides him.

enyce0387 · 01-16-2014, 12:00 AM

only my dad has taken it out without me in it. Other then that a handful of people with me riding shotgun, at the end of the day its a car and it was made to be enjoyed. I think most of my friends know how ocd I get with my car and are to afraid to even ask, but if they ask i never turn them down (especially after i have had a couple of drinks and need a ride home)
