Will you let anyone drive your new c7?
 
I'm willing to bet no.

How much money are you willing to lose? :rofl:

Of course. Family and close friends on a short sprint.:D

Bill17601 05-14-2013 03:25 PM

Well no. In Pennsylvania we have car inspection. The licensed inspector must drive the car. That is the only time I am not behind the wheel. But hey it is my ride

msm859 05-14-2013 03:48 PM

Yes. The car is easily replaceable. I will even drive it in the rain.

Davidl81 05-14-2013 03:55 PM

Sure I will. Its just a car, a car that can be replaced. With my GS I would let my buddies/family drive it. Heck they were so nervous when they drove it they would barely go teh speed limit.

Wife and long time Vette owners only.

Are you kidding? I'm going to recoup the cost of my car by offering tiered admission... $10 for a ride-along, $50 to drive. :D :thumbs:

HurricaneRN 05-14-2013 04:08 PM

It's just a car

Sure, always have before.

I've been trying to get my wife to drive the C6 for years. She refuses.

She's convinced that something will happen to it while she's behind the wheel and that she'd forever feel guilty about it.

Hemi Dave 05-14-2013 04:17 PM

Not for awhile :)

Just sold my 2008 Vette and the 2nd person to drive it was the fellow who flew in from TX to buy it!
My wife really doesn’t like to drive a stick and why should she. She has a Porsche Cayenne!
Doubt if anyone will need to drive it but me and if I ever have to take it to a dealer for service-hope not. :lol:

MikeG37 05-14-2013 04:23 PM

My wife will be letting me drive, that's my strategy :D

robvuk 05-14-2013 04:25 PM

Why not? Is the question.

I'm going to guess that those of you who would not let anyone drive it are the same ones that didn't share their toys as kids. :-D

Cause the only one who can get away with F'ing up my C7 will be me...

I am saving lives by not letting anyone drive it :D

..........and my wife has had 3 accidents in the last year( all her fault).......I wont give her the chance to end any of my cars lives :)

Greg00Coupe 05-14-2013 04:38 PM

Sure why not? I plan to also report how it does in the slush and Ohio salt................

JerriVette 05-14-2013 04:56 PM

I would let my wife drive my vette but she never wants to risk smacking it up....I definitely let my friends I trust drive my cars...especially a new corvette...

It's fun to see their expressions and a blast to be a passenger once in awhile in a car like a corvette.

ANTIVNOM 05-14-2013 05:11 PM

Absolutely. I've let several people drive my ZR1 (only those of course that I know have appropriate skills and know how to respect 638HP). Part of the joy of owning something like that is letting others share in the experience, especially if they are an enthusiast but don't have the means to afford something that expensive.
