Default Has anybody done this with their C6?

I am leaving for Vegas tomorrow morning and a good buddy of mine asked if he could borrow my precious baby while I'm gone...and I said.......Sure, I don't care. Anybody else done this? Or am I the only one? I don't come back until next Tuesday, so he will have it for 5 days.

It's just a car, right?

I even take the keys and fobs with me when I leave it at home for the day. I let my husband drive it but I don't ever leave him the keys when I am not there.

Q. Has anybody else done this? A. Yes. But he couldn't stop crying and we had to shoot him.

Q. It's just a car, right? A. Wrong.

Haven't done that with the C6 but did lend our Z4 to the neighbor kid for his prom. Brought it back with a full tank of gas and a pair of pantyhose under the passengers seat. Sure looks like they had a good time and the Z got initiated.

No Sh**t, You must really like your friend. My friends will be lucky to drive mine around the block with me in it.

"Just a car" -- ouch. Reminds me of Ferris Buellers Day Off, when those scrubs get a hold of Matt Brodericks ferrari.

Being a little closer to this situation than most of you, I would have to ask..."which buddy"?

That will help me answer that question. LOL

That is something that I would not even consider. I am very particular about my vehicles, and would never be comfortable lending one to someone unless it was an emergency.
