I like to go to my favorite on-ramp, ~65 MPH at the "apex". Sadly, N.J. isn't great for twisty roads either. I really need to move!

I actually enjoy letting family drive it ( wife,parents,brother-in-law ), I haven't trusted any friends with it yet.

Let my brother in law drive one of my 911s years back...he went through my neighborhood at 70mph and the folks thought it was me driving...never lived that one down. Needless to say, I always give caution about speed limits and try not to let their exuberance take over.

It is fun to look at their face as they experience the drive for the first time.

If I know they can properly drive a stick, I'll let them drive my car. Sitting in the passenger seat to go along for a ride is not the same. I personally hate to ride in the passenger seat because I feel like I have no control.
