May I suggest tracking the car...no seriously, not just 1 or 2 track days, but once a month at least.

There, you will find the true meaning of driver skills and the blurring of car capabilities. For instance, I can lap a GT3, but it is clearly the driver and not the car. Lewis Hamilton can probably lap me in a 80's Yugo.

After that, street driving will purely be cruising and enjoying the sound system/scenery.

I don't care who you put in that driver's seat, that'd be one hell of a challenge, and terribly impressive...we are talking about a Yugo......it might melt before completing a lap...
