I woke up at 7am one morning in January, when I was home for break, to the sound of my car starting up--Cold start + LTs + cut-out = distinct sound in my neighborhood--I ran out to the livingroom window & saw my dad driving off with my car.
I considered hiding the keys after that, but he's topped the tank off every time so far so no complaints on my end

I let two of my roommates drive it--they didn't get on it, just for a mile or so around campus, but they didn't like it.

When my younger brother was really timid about driving I took him out to 287, past 208 but before 17...the place with the long open stretches of highway, and let him open it up a little bit. Giving the keys to this car to a 17 year old isn't the smartest thing, but the point was to show him that he needs to keep his eyes on the road & everything around him, rather than glued to the speedo. It worked; I'm no longer afraid to drive with him

I mostly drive mine. The curent girl has (we drove to Floriduh together and am coming back tomrrow.. wah) , one ex and one other hot lesbian friend of mine has driven it. Thats it. Once I get the brakes working better in it I'll pretty much let anyone drive it.

I let my sister drive my Camaro around the block once, but that's been it. Most of my friends are pretty trustworthy and wouldn't try to wheel the crap out of it, but nobody's asked and I don't really offer.

Ill take your car down but ill be to afraid to slam the pedal after looking at them pics.





I only drive my car. Every now and then i let my gf. I use to keep my keys out incase someone in my household had to move my car out of the driveway but thats stopped once my wheels got curb rash mysteriously. They were less then a month old and cost me some good money but no one in my house will own up.

My parents used to drive it locally when the car was stock. Now my mom is the only one who attempts to drive it, but she can't see over the hood.

I only let my dad drive my car even though he wont let me drive his vette ever. I let my sisters drive the Z once around the block when i first got it but thats it. People always ask to drive it but I know they cant handle the power of the mighty LS1.

My dad used to take all my Camaros out usually on a Sunday morning to get bagels and newspapers. But nobody really drives the ones I've had recently except for photoshoots. I can only drive one car at a time so I needed help on that one.
