Default Giving rides in your S2000

I presumed most of you owners have given rides to people you know. However, how many of you are will give rides to complete strangers, esp. the opposite sex?

You paid $32,000 for a sports car. Why the hell wouldn't you haul around hot chicks in it?

The ONLY complete stranger (unless stranded on the side of the road) I would ever consider giving a ride to would need to be:
Female, attractive, single

When I went to purchase my S the dealership would not allow me to test drive it, this made me angry and I left. I waited 2 years and at various time went in to buy the car and no test drive. This pisses me off. Now that I am an owner , not only do I give rides, If the person is interested in driving it I let them. Now mind you not complete strangers but certainly co-workers, family, friends, cute girls (Shh!) etc.

Rides are one thing. Strangers - NO. Women - Yes. And the only way someone else can drive the car is if I'm the passenger and they know how to drive stick. Even then, I worry. Driving the S isn't like driving other manual cars.

Women....hell yes. I've had the car for 3 weeks and its happened 3 times. I'd say this is one awesome benefit. I have let my brother, and 2 very good friends drive it. They are better drivers anyway. Why not give rides to people? (not scary people you dont know of course.)

i picked a girl up at her place a few nights after meeting her at a bar with the help of about a dozen cocktails.

i didn't remember a single thing about her, and she comes out of her front door, and says, "very cool, s2000, can i drive?" of course i said no, and of course she gave me a hard time about it.

i am really antsy about other people driving it, but i'll give anyone a "ride."
