I love having people drive my car. Since the experience when i first got it is gone. Cool to see everyone elses reaction. I will only offer if i can trust the person. If i can trust the person they can drive it as hard as they want, but i tell everyone don't break it loose.

I usually let my significant other drive my car..if they can handle it with it's quirks. I don't let my friends drive it, but i'll let my dad since his eyes light up when he drives it.

It's a car, bfd. I'd let just about anyone drive it that I'd let drive my daily cars. My wife cannot drive amanual trans or I'd let her drive it.
Here is how to know your car has issues: If you let someone drive it and you have to give them specific instructions "make sure you do x, y, z. if it does this, than press this button twice. and don't touch the red button" lol

I'm the same way. Go ahead and drive either one of them. But if you bust it you have to pay parts/labor to fix it.

Never more than a 30 sec drive for liability reasons.
However, the requirement is that they must have a vehicle of equal or greater capability.
This applies to all the vehicles in my sig.

I don't want to hate someone for messing up my car so I'm picky with who drives it. Gina knows I'm a nut so she just doesn't really care to drive either of my cars (TA scares her anyway). My Dad is allowed to drive any of my stuff along with a few select friends who I know will show proper respect.

I do not blame you in the least regarding the TA. I'm sure that car goes from zero to closed casket funeral in about 3 seconds.

My dad and brother drove my car just after I bought it. Don't think I'd have an issue letting either one of them drive it again. I try to keep my wife as far away as possible, for multiple reasons.

You break it, you bought it. So far no takers. I am also one who would only trust it with those that will respect it and not just joy ride and beat on it. I'll take people for rides in it any day of the week though!

I've owned my car for about 8 years. Must have been one that looked similar.
