Perhaps I am too protective over it, but it's much easier on my stress level to not worry about something happening with someone else behind the wheel. On the flip side, I also don't like to drive someone else's vehicle if I don't have to. I'd much prefer to have them give me a ride.

I was just messing with you heh, I understand how you feel the only people that I will let drive my truck is close family IE Wife Mom or Dad. When it comes around next year I will check in on the tickets and shoot the info to you.
Thanks JD. We may have to work out a deal, if you can settle for a ride. I was pretty particular about who drove my truck before (only 2 people besides myself ever drove it since I bought it, and those were due to circumstance rather than by choice), but am much more protective over it now. It's not that I don't trust the driver, but it's everything else that's out of the driver's control that worries me. If something happened to it, I know I'd be exceptionally mad at the person driving, even if it wasn't their fault, and the things that make me mad are few and far between. I don't want to put anyone, particularly a friend, in a position where that's a possibility.
