Unhappy EEK! Shes driving my car ATM!

ATM My Fiance is driving my Lexus IS , her car unfortunately broke down so she is in the process of buying a new car, but until then she is putting around in my car, I did take off my volk GT-C's and running my 18" split five spoke gunmetal stocks. But I couldn't help myself and I broke down and finally got the GFX Rear Lip from sewellparts.com and I bought the Canadian F-Sport Grill insert from Lexustuners.com "I just like the looks of it", I will take some pics when I install "im so excited" as for the rims my friend gave me a good price so I might let them go, but I was thinking of the ISP mode "too bad they dont make them in that gunmetal color" or the G-spider Rims, seen both of these on the forums in black and thought that looked pretty clean, well LMK what you guys think, thank you again for your time!

Much Aloha's and Mahalo's

my fiance is driving my 2011 F-Sport at the moment, her 2011 Mazda3 is in the shop getting fixed after a hit&run. Its very nerve racking that she is driving my car.

You guys are hilarious. My wife has an SUV, so when I need to go to hockey, I just take that so I don't have stinky gear in my car. I don't care if my wife drives my car at all.

Now, EATING in the car is a whole other story!

BTW, what does ATM stand for? I clicked on this thread because I was like "Why is she driving his car while doing @ss to mouth?"

ATM means at the moment, i believe. haha and when my girlfriend first drove my car, i was definitely scared. but now i could care less if she drove it or not. just as long as no scratches or scrapes come back.

I used to feel that way when wife first drove my car. We rotate cars daily because we have a tandem garage. Which ever cars in the front, I drive.

You'll trust her driving after a while.

I'm just worried about where she parks now. She usually parks under a tree or a small spot which annoys me. Bird poop or door ding...

Not my "Black Princess." They just don't pay attention to the road/curbs. They just get in and go!

If she doesn't love the car as much as you do, she won't likely be as cautious as you, but that doesn't mean she's going to drive it into a tree. If it's a temporary situation, lay down some ground rules so she knows what to watch for/pay attention to while borrowing your car.

Congrats on the GFX rear! What color is your car? And as far as the wheels go, I'm not really a big fan of the Lexus G-Spyders or the ISPs, so I vote that you keep your GT-Cs .
