My older brother, younger sister, and 75 yr old mother all drove my 01S. I think my Mom particulary enjoyed driving it because it gave her bragging rights and a great story to tell at her social functions. She did stall it once but I can't really fault her because it takes some practice to know what gear you're in with that 6spd slush box in the 01.

I recently let a golf friend of mine drive my LE. He owns a C4 Corvette and takes immaculate care of it and his golf clubs. I knew he wouldn't drive it like he stole it. When the weather gets nicer (it has to eventually), I'm going to see if Mom wants to drive Punkin. She doesn't like my LE but I think I can win her over with the extra 45HP and the silky smooth 6spd.

While I won't just let anyone drive my Boxster, it's still just a car. And imagine the thrill you can provide by letting someone drive their first and maybe only Porsche. They will remember that 15 min for the rest of their lives.
