+1 on these comments. When she was new, no one but me got to drive it understood. But now that she's broken in, I've relaxed a bit and I'll let people drive if I trust them, and I'm in the car

I don't let anyone drive my car either. $50,000 Lexus isn't exactly a toy that you can just "share" it with your friends. It's not a PS3.

I don't let anybody drive my IS350.

Yes, it's not a Lambo or Bentley or Ferrari...but it's also not a civic or kia or focus, etc.

With options, a new IS350 can start pushing $45-50k. I think IS350s, 335i's, G37s, etc. are worth more than the "entry level luxury car" moniker suggests.

LOL @ this thread.

If I know the person well, he or she gets to drive it...unless their driving habits indicate a higher likelihood of damaging my car...LOL. So my mom and sisters are definitely excluded, but my dad and s.o. are approved

No one! I've only had two passengers since 2008 and the back seat has never been used. Hell, I don't even let me drive my car! *preservation vehicle*

If I'm too drunk to drive, I'm going to be sleeping in my car for the night.

As a matter of fact, I've done this once before. Halloween night I make the stupid decision of driving myself downtown to meet my friends (I park in a garage).

Naturally after all the mayhem I'm too drunk to drive. I suppose I had the option of leaving my car in the garage overnight (and taking a bus to one of my friends' apartments on campus) but I was a little too paranoid to do even this, so I slept in the back seat of my car.

I'll say it gets very humid inside very quickly with no ventilation.

The peace of mind was worth the extra $5 I had to pay for overnight garage time.
