Everyone Wants to Drive It... How Protective Are You w/ your Camaro? - Page 8 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My mom drove while I pushed my car out of the snow..

Other than that no, no and no.

I get girls asking to drive it more than my buddies.. I think i've instilled a fear of the ls3 in their brains.

Thats the best answer yet

There's a short list of people who drive my car.
1. Me
2. Nobody else

My wife hasn't driven it and if my son-in-law asks one more time... just say I'll be needing a good defense lawyer.

No one drives my car other than the GM service guys when I bring it in for an oil change.

D Day Dog · 03-14-2011, 06:42 PM

Kinda backasswards of her to have said this, but I was told by my wife that I'd be screwed if I didn't let her drive it.

MF2SSRS · 03-14-2011, 07:02 PM

Anybody that shows any interest in the car that I know, I ask if they want to take it for a spin.

Most of the time they are too surprised or nervous that they pass the offer up.

SirPhobos1 · 03-14-2011, 07:45 PM

It's my daily driver, and I don't even like my own wife driving it. She hasn't driven it since before Thanksgiving, and I've yet to let her drive it again. I CERTAINLY will NOT let her drive it to go joyriding.

She's grown to detest the car because I baby it so much, but I will not have it any other way.

I love letting my friends drive my car as long as I'm in it, how else can I show off all the work I've done. Besides it's much easier to talk someone into being DD.

ClutchKargo · 03-15-2011, 12:05 AM

Besides my wife.

The local dealer service advisor and the guy that has changed the oil.

In other words no one else.

No one really asks, I think they know what the answer will be.......

The car is much more impressive when we are driving anyway, Right?

klatterblast · 03-15-2011, 12:31 AM

NOOOOOA

PQ · 03-15-2011, 12:49 AM

Very few have driven my car. But it's not from me not allowing them. I'm pretty liberal with it. Most won't drive it when I offer.

Supercamaro64 · 03-15-2011, 12:56 AM

haha funny joke lol. since i got it, only one person has driven it other than me, and only once. I broke my toe when my dad and i were out somewhere, and we had taken my car. he had to drive us home cuz i was physically unable to drive it lol. my friends know better than to ask me to drive it lol. iv been driving my truck for about 5 months now, and my girlfriend actually asked whether she cud ride shotgun or not when i bring it back out lol. i said "of course!" lol but i thought it was funny that she had to ask that!

WOW, interesting range of answers...

Who do I let drive it?

...most any friend that wants to

Perspective might be important,

The Camaro is my wife's daily driver, virtually all of my friends own (used in the past and present tense) performance cars covering a wide range of cars.

"Car Nuts" (gender neutral term) are brought in to the "club" by their experiences with "neat" cars that make an impression on them. Last summer, best friends son just got his license and he drove the Camaro (the car was ~3 months old) . The picture of him driving it is the first photograph on his facebook page. Future "car nut", has said he will buy a performance car as soon as he gets out of college.

Some people just never get to drive a neat car, hence never get turned on to the (or turned on by

) world of performance cars around them.
