Just tell me/Just let me know/Just say so

In a story I'm writing, three employees have been given the job of driving their boss's very nice car somewhere and are very excited. While cruising, the employee at the wheel says...

EMPLOYEE: This is life, huh? Just tell me if one of you wants to try your hand with this bad boy.

EMPLOYEE: This is life, huh? Just let me know if one of you wants to try your hand with this bad boy.

EMPLOYEE: This is life, huh? Just say so if one of you wants to try your hand with this bad boy.

(the 'bad boy' is the car)


Are these options all natural here? Which one would you choose?
