I let my pop drive it whenever he wants, which I don't mind. He had a fair amount of Camaros and Trans Ams in his day.

I also taught my girlfriend how to drive stick on it - once. It scared her and now she just leaves me to the "vroom vroom"

Thats what I'm hoping my wife will think of it when she drives it.

I guess I might be in the minority here but pretty much anyone anytime as long as they are in my age group, not some kid. The funny thing is besides my sweety,my uncle and my brother no one else will drive it. They always say they are afraid of tearing it up.

I took it to the dealership about a month ago to have the engine cover replace ( tabs broke ) and of course alot of people were looking. An older gentleman probably 60's and I started talking about his 1st Gen, of course I offered him to drive it, but he refused then he wanted me to come to his house and see his collection and what a collection he had.

I guess I am funny that way. I have a R6P car, a signed Litho, no back up sensors, GM Performance Div emblem under the hood and still would let just about anyone drive it.

Someone offered me a drive in a Ferrari when I was the Marine Corps in California when I was 19 and I guess it has always stuck with me. The man was nice to me and I obviously could not pay for the Ferrari but it was a blast to drive, so I kinda pay it forward when I can.

*GTAHVIT* · 04-07-2011, 02:26 PM

I'm pretty easy going about it.

I'll let just about any of my adult friends drive it. I'm gonna let my 16 year old brother drive it at the fest...

Sometimes I have to tell them... "step on it" LOL most will do that once and then get out of it

I love seeing the look on their faces when they get pushed back in the seat..

I let at least 5 people at the fest last year drive her...

But that's just me. I totally understand that not everyone is comfortable handing over the keys... and I certainly won't let just anyone drive it..

nards444 · 04-07-2011, 02:32 PM

I dont like driving other people stuff and wont let them drive mine. Only people that have driven mine was truck driver taking it off the truck, dealer and me

LILRED85 · 04-07-2011, 02:36 PM

tell them if they are able to write you a check for the value of the car...then they can drive it..and watch the look on their face..priceless

MOMSREDSS · 04-08-2011, 12:51 AM

My daughter asked me to drive it to her college so she could drive it. She's so funny!

Today as I was washing my car, my neighbor offered to DRY IT OFF for me. Yeah, about that...NOT!

My husband surprised me with buying me my Camaro. He's the only one I feel comfortable letting drive it. Maybe my husband old boss. We've shared things before & if either of us broke what we borrowed, we repaired it for the other person. Love my kids, but they can't afford to repair or replace it.

Razin Kane · 04-10-2011, 07:57 AM

I let my 18 year old daughter drive it on a closed road. It was the first time she had ever drove a manual! Not to bad....

angie7 · 04-10-2011, 08:16 AM

Only my b/f can drive it and he's only driven it once.

camaroaarp · 04-10-2011, 08:19 AM

Sure. Why not. Just a car.

Kathie63 · 04-10-2011, 07:00 PM

My husband drove it twice. I will not let anyone else drive it. I myself do not like driving others cars.
