My wife, E.W.A., and she's very good with it, but she's afraid of it. No one else. I don't even allow that many people to ride in it!

I've let my wife twice drive it but she says I make her nervous.

My wife, a good driver drives it now and then, no questions asked.
My son, an excellent driver, when he askes to take it for a ride. He's done that maybe 10 times. He also has driven it to work at the local Honda dealership.
Probably another dozen people or so have driven it with either me, the wife or the son along for a ride, usually these rides are no londer than 3 miles or so.

It seems when a "guest" is taking a drive they have been cautious/respectfull of the car.

I know during this time noone else (except maybe my son or wife to run errands) has wanted to take my 91 Ranger for a ride.!

Whenever she wants, my girlfriend can drive my suzuka blue "S", in return I can take her silverflash (silver "S") whenever I want

Since it was a present for my wife, it's more like "she lets me drive it." Fortunately, that's whenever I want. Not a bad present.

Our almost 16 yr. old son would love to drive it but we're debating about whether we'll even let him stand there and look at it.

My husband is allowed to but he won't. He says he wants to go fling it and I'll get mad at him. He took 5 days of private rally school driving instruction (he put the car on it's side) and so now he wants to practice what he learned.

Granny,

I thought that you killed him for putting Armor All on your dash board? Or is he now your "gopher" to make up for it?

NO ONE! My wife has a set of keys but has not yet driven it. I let one trusted friend drive it after it was broken in and offerred to let another trusted friend drive it, he declined stating that he "does not take control of anything that he can not write a check for". Don't you wish the rest of the world was this responsible?

Short of these two friends that I trust and respect their driving skills and that I have known for thirty years. NO one else will ever drive it. Unless my wife decides to.

My wife, whenever she wants (though usually I have it for work). Besides her, only trusted friends. Odd how few friends have the nerve to ask.
