19-year-old Subscriber Drives My Z06
Guys...I thought I'd share my latest YouTube vlog with you all. I recently met a young man who contacted me through my YouTube channel months ago -- and I ended up letting him get some seat time behind the wheel in my Z06 (his dream car). It ended up being an exhilarating experience for me and I made a new friend.

Watched your vlog this morning on my train ride to work. Great video. Seems like a great experience for the kid

This is what happens when you let someone drive your car. My brother in law made that mistake. It happens.
Good for you but not for me.

Let a friend drive my C5 Vette. He did great until we were pulling up to his house, he hit the curb and busted a rim. He felt bad, I felt bad. After that, no more guest drivers.

Ouch! Believe me, I had my reservations -- especially with someone so young and whom I didn't know...but it worked out fine for me. I'll count my blessings on this one, but the thing I fear the most is someone getting hurt when I gave them permission to drive this monster machine. The crash pic you attached looks bad...I hope nobody got injured on that one.

I let my 20 year old and 24 year old Grandson's Auto Cross my Z06. If they ran slow I got on their case telling them to use the throttle more. Only one way to own a Corvette and that is to use it the way it was meant to be used Vs sitting in a garage or at a cruise in. It is a hell of a lot more fun.
