RE: Who drives your Vette?
I have let two of my very good friends drive my last Vette (C5 Z06).They are bothvery responsible and one has a Supra that is faster so I know he can handle the car.
I also let a girlfriend drive it...
I ONCE let my girlfriend (now my ex) drive it home from the bar since I was drinking and she was not. Unfortunately, that was the last time anybody drove it

That was on Feb 21st at 1:10am Still makes me sad.
I bought the C6 on Feb 28th and since then no one has driven it. The offer was on the tip of my tongue yesterday to two of my best friends, but they needed 3 seats.
There are only a handful of people who I will let drive my vette.

[align=left]IN 1990, I had my dad pick my 73 454 up at the shop when I was on the road. 2 days later he had a stroke... but all it affected was some of his speech. When he came to, he kept saying 130... 130... found out later that was how fast he went. Two things happened after that. He never remembered that he used to smoke 2 packs a day... and today, at 77 years old... the old fart is in better shape than me! I won't let him drive my Vette anymore... he lost maybe 10-15% of his brain that day... I don't think he can afford to loose any more! The wife won't even touch it.

RE: Who drives your Vette?
There arereally only two other people I'd let drive the "Starship". They both live several hundred miles from me, but if we ever meet in person, they are certainly welcome to give 'er a spin. ( I won't mention names, they should know who they are. 
Eh, y'all? 
)
