Who gets to drive your C7?

Anyone willing and able to repair/replace it if something happens. Fortunately, I have very few friends that have any money to do that. I also would hate for a minor incident to get in the way of any friendships.
So, it is just my wife's car and I get to drive it...when she let's me.

The wife will avoid driving it and the son does not ask but I just told him to take it.
He has driven my C5. We build a strong supercharged mustang together. He handles a nice four wheel drift

That would be ME and perhaps the mechanic at the car dealership when it's taken in for service. It took me 30+ years to be able to afford the car, so it's not "just a car" if even a minor scratch through nobody's fault comes up. In reality, in the rare event a friend or relative has an accident or gets hurt, I would feel awful so I politely suggest they visit the dealership if they want to take one out for a ride.

My wife can drive it any time she wants, she has a FOB. That said I think she has driven it three or four times in the two years we have had the car. Twice because I asked her to drive because I had a few drinks. She took the Spring Mountain Level one with me, and does really well in a Manual car.
My daughters have not asked, I have not offered. If they asked, I would let them.
I am sure there a several others I would let drive it, if they asked. I have several Friends I would trust.

My wife is welcome to drive my C7 anytime she wants. She chooses not too as she is fairly terrified of scratching the car...
I have a good friend who visits from Australia. He and his wife are major Corvette fans (they own two older 'Vettes, one of which is a right hand drive C5). I have let him drive my C7 once with me as shotgun and I believe from the smile stuck on his face, he was fairly impressed.
Other than that, just the mechanic who pulls the car into the shop for servicing at the local Chevy store...

My wife. I have several friends who I would let drive it if they asked, but I am not going to offer it to them, save for one who has a C6 GS. He can drive it any time he wants...but as he lives 45 miles from me I doubt that it will happen.
