I let people drive my car. My old boss floored the hell out of it and had the best grin ever. I ended up with a free lunch and a nice drink. Went home after lunch. The folks from AeroJacket drove it to their shop - he offered so I took it. He even took it back to where we can meet after the work was done. No one in my family drives stick though except for my wife but she's too scared to drive it.
The one's I do not trust are the valet. NEVER hand your fob to them EVER.

Wait... actually I didn't know the Nismo exhaust sounds really nice when I watched Nissan tech drove off my car to the bay. That was also the first time I realized my nismo wheels look so sick when the car is rolling. Perhaps I should let people drive my car more often.

I stopped, unless I know for sure the person is trustworthy. I've had a few test drive and know how to shift very well.
The last person, who has driven and raced manuals for a long time, never blips the throttle when down shifting. He literally slams it in gear and force the synchros to play catch up by several thousand RPM. I turned S-Mode off for him because I was afraid it would interfere with his driving. It drove me nuts to see him go from 6th to 2nd at 40-50 MPH without blipping the throttle. The no lift shifts were terrible because the car would jump nearly 1000 RPM in between shifts, so it's slow. When I had the 350Z I let this one guy, who told me he is very experienced driving manuals, drive it. First thing he did was kill the car. A few minutes later my car was releasing the burnt clutch smell.

I honestly wouldn't mind letting people I know drive my car, but none of my family or friends that I see on a regular can drive a stick. I have a friend in Cali who drives a 350, and I considered letting him drive my car when he was in town right after I bought it. But then I remembered that every single one of his cars has met a horrible demise. (Mostly not his fault, just bad luck. In fact his 350 was just "totaled, then un-totaled" by an insurance company after someone rear ended him. Bizarre story.)
I've had my car for a year and a half and so far the only people other than me who have driven it are service people. I'd never let a valet drive it if I didn't have to, especially since I know people who used to valet, and I've been told some of the shtuff they do with other people's cars.

Yup. The Z is my first Nissan and the amount of problems (rattle noises, clutch valve leak, steering lock, TPMS, squeak here and there, etc.) it has for a new car is intolerable and unacceptable. I'm really disappointed at Nissan. I used to own a Celica and it has literally zero issues for 10 years. This makes me really sad since I really like the Z...
