Default How often does somebody ride shotgun with you?

Just wondering how you guys and gals haul other people. My wife made a crack that she hasn't been in my car in 2 years, which she hasn't. I always go out for a weekend cruise by myself, cruise for about 40 minutes and back in the garage while she stays with the kids. When I do meet up with other car people, everyone obviously drives their own car up to the meet. I think in the last 2 years one time I hauled a friend one time up to a meet cause his car was down. Passenger seat hasn't seen much action, but that's fine with me. I just like to enjoy my car alone.

I haul people around almost daily. Its not uncommon to see my car completely packed out someone in every seat. Even a few times this summer I had FIVE people packed into my car, once even 45 mins all the way to Island Dragway where I raced all night and drove back home.

Every day, it's annoying unless it's a girl, then I don't mind.

My friend likes to leave all his **** in my car and I brought home some hot girl the other day from school and what do you know, I have a whole backseat full of **** and I cleaned it like the day before. He has this gay little rainbow hat thing and one girl thought it was panties haha.. I started throwing all his **** away, after the last girl saying how dirty it was I decided I would always keep at least the inside clean. I don't understand how he does it but my friend also tracks in so much dirt. I use to vacuum my car every day after work when both my friends would ride and I parked in the grass.

OP: If you're out by youself most of the time, you have the wrong car. You should be in a Corvette.

Not very often. Usually if my friends and I are going somewhere as a group, we use somebody's four door.

Trust me, I'm working on it. I planted a Corvette Tree in my back yard but nothings popped up yet. As soon as I can swing one and still keep my Trans Am I'm all for it. Really be thinking about ditching my back seat for weight redux, but I haven't seen then need since I'm not a track junkie, yet... Sometimes I get that feeling like whenever somebody gets in, they have this "let's see what this thing can do" attitude.

About the only time I have a passenger is after a decent mod, then I give test rides to other f body friends Other then that the passenger seat is pretty lonely, and thats fine with me. I rarely drive it anyway.

passenger seat is only occupied 5% maximum. i only drive when my friends' cars are broken or there just too lazy to drive. the vibration of poly motor/trans/tq arm mounts and the roar of my pacesetters and borla exhaust are enough to deter anyone from riding in my car for an extended amount of time

Whenever I go cruising I almost always have a passenger, I like having the company.

Mostly it's just me, sometimes the wife as well. But I've never once used the back seats.

No one really ever rides in my car except my girl and on RARE occasions, the kids. Other than that I like to cruise around by myself
