Default Do you let anybody drive your car?

ok so i was just curious do you guys let any friends, family, gf/bf drive your car? since im really **** when it comes to my car, i always get ***** from family or gf for being stingy with it and not letting them drive it. my brother is always like let me drive your car and i know its not like hes gonna do anything to it but i just dont feel comfortable knowing some1 else is driving my car. i hope im not the only one lol

haha, I was really **** about it too. I didn't let anyone drive it and my sister (who has gotten like 10 speeding tickets) got pretty frustrated. but, after getting into an accident a couple weekends ago I couldn't stand seeing the damages, so I let my brother in-law borrow my car until I got it fixed. I still don't let anyone drive my car unless it's for a good reason.

lol You're not alone, the girlfriend does drive it from time to time, BUT I'm in the car. Before she got into the car we went over some rules. I told her it's a huge difference than pushing your RAV4. No cutting corners when turning(curb rash), DO NOT pull all the way up to parking bumpers, use the car next to you as a mirror to see the bumper. DO NOT just drive over pot holes. Go slowly over train tracks, hell even put on your hazards and let people know lol

Haha, If I tried to tell my girlfriend this it would turn into a shouting match for SURE! It's better left unsaid...I'll stick to the driving, she can do her pretty girl in the passenger seat routine, and it all works out great in the end

I guess I'm one of few who let others drive my car. My mom drives my car on occasions but she hates driving it haha. I have a closefriend whom I trust but he also lets me drive his 335 so it's mutual. I pretty much don't trust anyone else but they already know better than to just ask haha.

sometimes i let people drive my car, but most of the time i drive it. my brother and dad both got their own car, and so does my gf, but i still let her drive it at times with me inside the car
last time she drove it without me inside the car i found some scratches when i got back the car !
