I've had a few that I would let drive it, but they didnt want to unless they absolutely had to.

I did let one drive, and she could rip through gears like holy hell... I was like "THATS BADASS!!!"

I'll say no for now cuz she cant drive standard yet, after she's good at it and a lot of supervised driving maybe she could go by herself

Nope. My GF cant drive for **** and admits it. If my car was a stock automatic. Then maybe. But with a pretty big cam, stiff clutch, and engagement set unlike most cars.....no freaking way. I dont think she would even try, to be honest.

My wife can't drive stick but if she could I would let her drive it. She's not into sports cars but I'm sure she'd like to drive it just to see how it feels.

She can hardly get in the car on the passenger side, because of the cage. I can't imagine how many bones she'd break (including mine) if she tried to get in with a steering wheel in the way. All she does is bitch and complain about my cage. I think I'm going to buy her a Cobra.

My girlfriend loves to drive my car. She taught me how to drive a car with a manual transmission.
