"Never lend out your car or your woman, it's too easy to throw a rod in them"

Anybody who actually helps me out with my car payment is more than welcome to drive my Z.

My wife (who is allowed to dive it occasionally) asked me last summer if it would be OK if she and her girl friend (who annoys the piss out of me, incidentally) could take it on a road trip to her parents' place to "keep the miles off of her Mustang." Said 2005 v6 Mustang has 240k+ miles and I've personally replaced 2 alternators, several wheel bearings, a fuel filter, an entire rear axle, every shock and strut, etc, because she's too cheap to buy a newer vehicle (which she could easily afford) or pay for a mechanic (which she could also afford but what the hell, she has me). The real kicker is she periodically berates me for my monthly car payment.:shakes head:

I very politely invited her to piss up a rope, and she hasn't asked me since.:ugh2:

Ok, actual words from me this time. Was just waiting for the 8etch fest to calm down first....

My exact words, "I am sorry, I do NOT let anyone drive my car. But, I will take you for a ride if you want?". Also, the most responsible person I know out of this group of people I know, that were all together one day, was given the chance by me. SHE kindly refused (she does know how to drive manual btw), in front of all the gents that always ask. I did it as a learning lesson for the others, if I am willing to let you drive, I will invite you to take it for a ride, with me riding along, NOT you asking. The more you ask, the more you will never get the chance.


Final thought, with most people, if they do not have anything invested they have no care what happens to your car. Same people who door ding you in a parking lot....

I will probably never let anyone drive my Z. Maybe one of my really close bros that I know can drive without screwing something up.

Only way I would let someone drive my car... is if their a girl, and I know ill be getting some.

sp911 09-08-2016 05:27 AM

just say no. i hate even giving the keys to my wife. my 21 yr old son wants to learn to drive stick with my z. um, sorry no.

This annoys the hell out of me. Everyone around me knows how anal I am about letting someone drive my Z. The worst offenders are the non-car guys. They see the car as a tool and nothing more. So to them, when they ask to drive your car and you refuse, they take it bad. Sort of like refusing to let them use your new cordless drill.
It's hard being a car enthusiast among non-car people.

No way, that is my baby.
