So what do you do when...
Someone asks to borrow your Vette? I went to HS with this guy but I probably haven't seen him since then, maybe several years ago. I couldn't just flat out say no.

That's a request I wouldn't be surprised to receive from a brother or close friend, but not from someone who I just went to HS with and hadn't kept up with since.
Nice of you to say yes, But...........
Wait until the word gets out, you will have to make a reservation just to drive your own vette on weekends.

You haven't seen the person in several years, but he asks to use your car....?
Not to be mean, but my answer would be ..ll NO! Whether it was my corvette or another car.
My opinion of course, but like other's have said he could go rent one.

I would ignore such a request.
If they persist, I would tell them to go buy/rent one.
It's a pretty arrogant to ask to "borrow" somebody's very expensive Pride & Joy.

I can't count how any times someone said, "I'd love to take it for a spin, but I can't drive a stick."
Not sure if this is applicable to your situation, but it's another benefit of owning a manual
Edit: If he wants to pull up posing in something nice, tell him to rent a limo.

I would be concerned about insurance issues. Regardless of who may be at fault in an accident, your insurance company may balk and anyway I'd not want anything on my insurance record.

I would tell him like I tell everyone else. I’m an only child, I never learned how to share and I never intend to learn and keep your hands off my stuff. Corvette, Harley, etc.
I don’t let my daughters drive my Vette.
