Do you let other people drive your car?

3SeventyZ · 03-10-2013, 06:12 AM

Sometimes. I'm usually sitting in the passenger seat tho..

Stolly08 · 03-10-2013, 08:20 AM

There are only a few people I let drive my car and the list is locked down now! I just went thru a bunch of BS after I got rear ended to use the insurance money to put towards a body kit instead of factory parts and I get the car back and 2 weeks later I let a “friend" drive her and he did fine till we pulled into the parking spot and the dumba*% hits the curb with the brand new front bumper! 750$ J-Spec 2.... if you know what that looks like the whole front lip cracked nasty but he bondo'd it up nicely but still

Only certain people drive her now!

Sometimes I will . . . .

heehee Most of the ppl that I know and would let drive any vehicle of mine don't want to drive the 370Z. My Dad is 6'+ and has problems with his feet and legs so getting in/out is a PITA for him. My best friend is afraid he'll wreck it (kind of surprised me since he has owned RX-7s, Vettes, &c).
My daughter has driven it a few times with me in the passenger seat. Not because I felt I needed to be there; I wasn't going to walk home just so she could solo.

It's just a car and it's insured, so I wouldn't be too worried to let someone I consider to be a good driver take it for a spin.

I'm more concerned about ppl driving my POS pickup truck with the worn out steering and iffy brakes.

OK, i was all in love with my car last week. now it's making some weird noise. probably my engine or flywheel..

No. Years ago, the Mazda tech/car jockey wrecked my beatiful Miata during a service visit. They fully repaired it, of course, but since then no one ever drives my Miata or my Z.

Hell no. After getting the estimate the other day from a (multiple branch locations) Nissan dealer close to my work to repair the rear bumper damage that occurred when I was rear ended, I was told that their dealership that actually had the body shop was 30 miles away. They said I could get a rental car from the local dealer and they would ferry my car up to the body shop and back down when done. No way I told them. I'll drop it off at the body shop myself and they can arrange for a rental car to be available to me up there.
I trust no one.

Not usually. GF can't drive a stick so that rules her out. A friend drove it when he came to visit and it was so weird sitting in the passenger seat.

No because this happens

kenchan · 03-14-2013, 07:02 PM

stubie1918 · 03-14-2013, 07:09 PM

Wow -- that does not look good. Are you OK? What happened?

stubie1918 · 03-14-2013, 08:05 PM

It actually wasn't her fault. Some A$$hole was texting and driving. We were stopped for like 5 seconds and this guy in a Audi Allroad nailed us going 45mph. I got a concussion but she was fine. He hit us so hard it pushed us into the car in front of us.
