You are talking to Richard Petty about some cool cars in his garage/museum. He says "Let's take one out...you wanna drive or shall I?"

What is the correct response...driving a Petty car or being driven by Richard Petty?

I'll drive unless its on an oval. No disrespect to him, but I enjoy driving.

He should drive. It's bad form to beat someone in their own car.

I'm all for a quick session on how to race a car. Given I've never been racing, I'd be a blast.

Umm... that just happened to my boss. Literally.

We are working on a project with Petty. He handed him the keys to a limited Petty edition 650 hp Challenger VIN number 0001.

I'm pretty sure my boss's response was not the correct one. He asked him whose insurance it would be on.

He brought back some videos. He had a great time, but can't drive for crap!

Petty first. You can drive the car long after the King is gone.
