Ask to see her references. That’s a tough one, but I’d say no. My wife doesn’t drive mine.

Ha! Funny you should say that. I asked her what she was currently driving and she didn't respond to that.

Yeah, like you, I'm thinking not. But we will go for a fun ride with the top down across the desert to the Colorado river. She'll like that.

Exactly. Play tour guide/stunt driver and tell her you did it for her safety/enjoyment.

Royal Tiger, gotta agree with you on this(My wife doesn’t drive mine). My wife actually went out of her way on my 50th to surprise me at the dealer, big bow and all, paperwork done and I still haven't let her drive it. Luckily, she understands. Danial, good idea. Get her mind off of driving with a nice scenic drive. Great topic though. No one, has driven my Camaro Gen5 but me(except this week, she's in the body shop getting the bumper touched up before I can install the splitter). I know the guy but that doesn't make it easier looking at my empty garage.

Royal Tiger, sorry, I didn't see the rest of this thread but I'm having mine painted so I'm keeping the the original. I'm sorry I thought I texted you about this but I must not have. Sorry about that bro.. Can't wait to see the new seats!!!!!!

Oh I don't mind letting people drive my cars. Just depends on who...grin...both my daughter and my granddaughter drove my convertible in Oregon before I did down here in SoNev. I'm ok with that. They understand muscle cars and power and both have driven everything I have owned since they were old enough to sit on my lap and steer the wheel.

Nope.
That woman actually told me she doesn't need curb feelers since she has tires.
Sigh.

Well, thankfully a lot of performance tires now have raised ring just above the bead so you feel the rubber hitting the curb before the rim does.
