You sure you weren't recreating the scene from titanic by yourself?

The only times my girlfriend or a friend drives my car is when I have had too much to drink.

Lol drive my car.... I think not. My car isn't modded really but hey I pay the premium for it. If u wanna drive gimme some money! Haha I would let a few trusted people drive my car if they wanted to but they to scared to mess something up bec they kno how I am. Maybe ill let everyone drive once I decide if imma trade it in or not. Only lex sevice people have driven so far.

The only people that can drive my car is my brother and his fiancee. Since he's also a car enthusiast I know he will take good care of it. I actually left him my car for a year when I was deployed and she was well taken care of. And his fiancee can drive stick so that means she knows how to drive.

Nobody in my family touches my car. Even when I did not take my car to college my third year, it just sat in garage. Although I did let a girl drive it almost 3 years ago, she almost crashed it a couple times...after that I have not let anyone drive it.

Depends what you mean by drive: I'll let my friends drive my car if I am with them, but I won't let them take my car for the day if I have no idea what they're doing. Mainly because my friends have a lot more money than I do, and I know if they screw something up they'll pay for it.

I'll let people drive it if they want. It's just a car and I have insurance. Lending my car to someone is actually how I ended up with my IS. I let my brother borrow my car last year, and I got a call from him Christmas morning saying he has been in a small accident. Attached is the aftermath of the "small accident."

The same brother drove the IS not long after I got it. The only thing I didn't like about that is he didn't tell me before he did it. Other wise, I don't really care.

Car is a car. I've let a few ppl drive my is modded too. My girl actually curbed up my first set of Volks I owned. My good friend. Co worker sis.

Girl parked to close to the space infrint of her n the car pulled inti far n hit my front bumper breaking the lip. Was mad for like a minute. So now I get some new or fix it for next year. I change my stuff every year so if no one buys it or it gets a lil damaged I just throw it out

I've only let my coworkers drive my car from the street, to the car wash, and to my office. They valet at the service dept I work at. Otherwise, no one else drives it. My g/f wouldn't drive my car even if I asked her, she hates the thought of driving my car because she's not used to lowered cars. She even calls my car a cockroach because of how it's lowered and I have to slither around dips and bumps.

I let anybody that I know or whoever I'm with at the time drive my car. When I'm out on south beach and I am not cabbing it, the person driving my car is usually some chick I met that night. I am not that **** as it is only a car and I do have insurance. Now when I get some 20" Vossen's I don't think I'll be as lenient because curb rash is a *****!
