If there are any car shows in you area frequented by Cobra guys, there is a good chance that someone would take your dad for a short spin! 
On the other hand, if your girlfriend also wants a ride, certainly the spin would be much longer!

getcheffy,
By the way, how about posting some pics of the girlfriend before any of us shell out the $100? 
Don't mind us, we just like to joke around. Someone will probably PM you to help you out - keep an eye out in the upper right corner of the screen.

When?
I am 20 minutes from Troy. I am not willing to let you have my car for a while, but I might consider given your father a drive.

Here is a well written article from the Wall Street Journal (posted Friday) as to why you can have someone take your father for a ride, but also why it's unlikely someone will just allow your father to drive their Cobra.

Before you or anyone else loans out your car, check your insurance. Mine only covers ME and NOBODY else.
Here is a picture of a slight headlight adjustment
