10K!?  I'm afraid there is more than 10K spent on this one!  ;-)  Actually I
am the same as you.  The only other person who has driven my truck, besides
in a parking lot, has been my friend in Vancouver who is a double cab nut as
well.  It was a very hard thing for me to do!

David,

Are you kidding?  After putting so much $$$ into your
van, your gonna let some bimbo (male or female) drive
it and without supervision?  What are you nuts?  I
don't let hardly anyone touch my "stock" van much
less one that I threw 10K of my hard earned money
at.  I cringe enough every time I have to take
the van in for an inspection or new tires.  I don't
think I have any friends I trust to drive my van
alone.  When my wife drives it, I'm in the van
and I think she's one of the better drivers....

Call me over-protective, but that's a big investment
to be handing over the keys the unexperienced...
