Do you let other people drive your car?

Elan · 10-15-2013, 09:35 AM

I don't unless I absolutely trust them. There are only 2 people on my list that fit that description. I others drive when I am in the passenger seat. I refuse to let just anyone because the blind spots in the car are horrible and take getting used to.

lol, sorry...

(And I didn't notice that)

Yes I do.. but whenever my Dad does I make sure to catch him boosting on film. My "car" friends are scared they will break it so they don't seem to ever lay on it...

i think i posted earlier, but to re-cap...

no

kidkotic2001 · 10-15-2013, 12:24 PM

There is only one other person that drives my Z. That is the Wife anyone else is off limits.

Of course the nissan crew that does my oil changes can to but I watch them like a hawk. they know it too, the service rep always tells me dont worry Mr. Paz we will take care of it.

LOL I am sure they hate me.

chii370 · 10-15-2013, 12:30 PM

I do, but only friends. 90% of it is because i want to laugh at them. The 370 is probably the most difficult manual car ive ever driven. I always tell them you WILL stall it. And they always come back with that snarky "ive driven manual for years" comment. Then they stall it

Also I must be in the car, and take it how u want.....but ive seen the internet, no chicks behind the wheel of my Z. Not even the waifu. If she wants to do her instinctual wrecking car thing she can go do it in the subaru, much cheaper to replace parts each time a bout of female driver syndrome takes over.

Oh boy...

critical · 10-15-2013, 05:16 PM

never. i'd let my gf drive and even tell her to cause she looks hot driving my Z, but she's always afraid lol

Arrvaxx · 10-15-2013, 05:22 PM

Now, unboosted...sure. Taught my son to drive a manual just last week. Will do a few more parking lot drives and then maybe an early morning Sunday. It's insured so whatever.

In January after Fast Intentions twins? Hell no...well, the valet and mechanics but they will get to enjoy her with UpRev 'Valet' mode!

*Edit: After twins...I guess the exception would be well known fellow enthusiasts that have a history of driving hard so I know the hp won't get out from under them.

pokeyl · 10-15-2013, 05:33 PM

Drive Car, short list, Wife and Son, only because I trained them both on high power cars/manual trans, old school no driver aids...

I trust them both...

My Dad, he trained me...

I may take other for a ride, but not often.

TNTi · 10-15-2013, 06:07 PM

I let my dad drive it because he is a car nut and insisted that I learned how to drive in a manual transmission Datsun.

I let my GF drive it because she's German and grew up diving stick BMW's and Audi's

N1atmax · 10-15-2013, 06:11 PM

I left my car (Rx-7 twin turbo) and keys at the alignment shop once.
When I walked in a hr later the tech said ("Holy $hit is that thing fast.")
Last time I leave my sports cars alone anyone!
Some guy years ago hid a recorder in his Chevy as he suspected someone was abusing his car at the shop. They flogged that thing. I'm sure the dealer paid dearly for that.

blackcherry20 · 10-15-2013, 08:05 PM

My husband drives it at will but he's not that interested.
A friend at auto-x that can fix it if he breaks it drove it once.
And a guy at work once.
He has a Porsche Boxter-he offered to let me take it for a drive-h3ll yeah!!
So the next day he took my Z.
I think he was as impressed as i was! Lol
I preferred the Z, although the Porsche was cool, it was a bit ho-hum on the front end. Gimme up front torque please!

TerribleONE · 10-15-2013, 08:18 PM

Il let my dad drive it since he lets me take out his cars however only if I am in the passenger seat as well as some of my really close enthusiast buddies

CSGLEON · 10-15-2013, 10:05 PM
