I let my girlfriend drive my car and she only does when I'm with her. Other than her, if someone really wants to I have no reservations about letting them drive it. As long as they're careful. I like to be with them too.

Surprisingly, my family is petrified of going near my car, let alone driving it. I blame the switches, seem to scare em off.

YUP, just me
nahh, wanna take it for a ride?


Shouldn't it be No, just me and Yes, wanna take it for a ride? :lol:



I fall between the two. I let others drive it, but it is a very short list. You are not on it. :lol:

Yes, I let anyone drive it. Its not really a big deal, its nothing special. I used to have all my cars on lock down but it comes down to the fact that its only a car. Just dont ask to drive my Nova!

Pretty much just me, sometimes I let my dad move it in the driveway :rofl: or if Im drinking I'm more susceptible to let the GF drive it. Hell, I let Matt drive it when I was drunk :shock:

I use to let my friends drive the car since they help me build the first motor, but since I built the current one myself...not anymore.

Sure ! Not just any schmuck , just certain people I trust and feel they respect my car . Now if some moron in the insp. station was revving it up ,I wouldn't be too happy with them :nutkick:

i offered like 5 people the chance to drive my car at the last rental we had no one wanted to drive it :shrug:

i should have asked cbrmike i know he would have taken her down the track.

normally it's just my son and i that drive the car. i was in a good mood that day :lol:

Only a select few i let drive it but mainly me. Sometimes i will let my pops take it out cause he misses having a stick

I fall between the two. I let others drive it, but it is a very short list.

I'm the same way; if I've known the person a long time and trust them, I'd let them drive it. Otherwise, they can ride shotgun. I've got too much blood, sweat, and tears tied up in my car to have some random person I hardlly know wreck it.

Case in point - a buddy of mine back in senior year of HS (1991) let a friend drive his very nice '68 Chevelle to pick up his paycheck. The kid wrapped the Chevelle around a tree on the way back to my friend's house and totalled it.

I know what you mean. I hate taking the Camaro to inspection stations for that same reason. The revving of the engine more than once seems unneccessary. I really don't know how some of these guys get their jobs at these stations.

I certainly appreciated the offer and my dad slapped me on the back of the head when I declined. I think I was more focused on getting a new best in my Bird while on the sauce and didn't want to be distracted.

I can assure you the next time you offer (praying you do) that I will not have the same answer.:)

As for my Bird, my Dad and only a select few friends have driven my car. My wife called me out one day and asked if she could drive my car knowing I would be uneasy about it. I called her bluff and said sure. We took the car to the Rutgers stadium parking lot and I tossed her the keys....she has never wanted to drive the car again haha.

I'm a bit more flexible with my G8 but I certainly pass the keys to just about anyone.

My dad, my uncle, and a select few others I trust. I went to a private inspection station so I wouldnt have to deal with them dirivng my car because they dont let you watch them at the Winslow inspection station.

I've let a couple people drive my car. People i trusted. My ex always complained that I never let her drive the camaro, even though I said she could. When she finally did she didn't like it haha. I had to put it in drive for her because she couldn't work the B&M shifter

I wont ever let anyone drive my car, can't trust my friends as their immaturity will kick in, and they wont respect the power of the car, especially after I've seen how some of them drive their cars or someone elses car.. I'll let my dad drive it and thats about it lol.

I tend not to let other people drive my cars. The Camaro has never had anyone else drive it except me since I bought it. The truck has only seen my sister drive it, even then she had to steal it while I was away.

I woke up at 7am one morning in January, when I was home for break, to the sound of my car starting up--Cold start + LTs + cut-out = distinct sound in my neighborhood--I ran out to the livingroom window & saw my dad driving off with my car.
I considered hiding the keys after that, but he's topped the tank off every time so far so no complaints on my end :lol:

I let two of my roommates drive it--they didn't get on it, just for a mile or so around campus, but they didn't like it.

When my younger brother was really timid about driving I took him out to 287, past 208 but before 17...the place with the long open stretches of highway, and let him open it up a little bit. Giving the keys to this car to a 17 year old isn't the smartest thing, but the point was to show him that he needs to keep his eyes on the road & everything around him, rather than glued to the speedo. It worked; I'm no longer afraid to drive with him :lol:

I mostly drive mine. The curent girl has (we drove to Floriduh together and am coming back tomrrow.. wah) , one ex and one other hot lesbian friend of mine has driven it. Thats it. Once I get the brakes working better in it I'll pretty much let anyone drive it.

I let my sister drive my Camaro around the block once, but that's been it. Most of my friends are pretty trustworthy and wouldn't try to wheel the crap out of it, but nobody's asked and I don't really offer.

I only drive my car. Every now and then i let my gf. I use to keep my keys out incase someone in my household had to move my car out of the driveway but thats stopped once my wheels got curb rash mysteriously. They were less then a month old and cost me some good money but no one in my house will own up.

My dad used to take all my Camaros out usually on a Sunday morning to get bagels and newspapers. But nobody really drives the ones I've had recently except for photoshoots. :nod: I can only drive one car at a time so I needed help on that one.
