I have encouraged show attendees to sit in any of my Vairs being shown. 
Even offer to let them drive them after the show.

Most are taken aback, when they realize I am serious about the offer, they 
will usually at lest sit in them.

Show last Sept., (Vette sponsored show) one woman took me up on the driving 
offer.  Just drove it from inside the Chevy dealers garage where show was 
held, outside to the parking lot.  Grinning from ear to ear.
