So far my dad, my gf, and 2 of my friends, under one condition, no more than 6000rpm.

My wife drives our car any time she wants.

Other than that, various service people at the dealership (how are you going to avoid that?), valets a couple times (also unavoidable sometimes), a detailer, a couple of top autocrossers during practice and fun runs (with me as a passenger).

No friends or family, no one has even asked.

My sister is so mad that my car is not here yet. Her homecoming is in two weeks and she wanted to ride in it for the parade so badly. I think my dealer would have let me borrow one for that week, but they don't have one yet either.

I tend to note the milage counter to check that they don't take any longer drives.
I talked with my service manager about that one day and joked about how people have this impression. At my dealership, the master mechanic, who has been there more than 15 years, is the only one that works on the S2000 and is allowed to test drive them.

My best friend's parents, my wife, and brother-in-law. Surprisingly, I offer it up to my friends to drive, but they're afraid because they know how much I love it. I even offered to let a friend drive it today. "No way. You'd kill me if something happened." I wouldn't kill anyone if something happened. It's just a car that is a blast to drive!

I will let friends and the wife drive the car.
One friend I let drive it owns an F40. I am hoping he will return the favor someday

So far my dad and 5 close friends from college plus dealer service people, of course.

This is my first new car, 3rd car that I've owned. It joins my 1986 Integra "beater" and my fiancee's 2000 Civic. We are now a 3-Honda family!

My son drove it once when we went to dinner. I let him pick up one of his female friends.

My wife and daughter don't want to drive it for fear that something happens. They are good drivers but they know I am a fanatic.

I am forced to let any of the five or six complete maniacs that work at my parking garage drive my car. They probably drive it more than I do.
