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...
