I only let those who put hours of wrench time into my car because I know they care about it and would not treat it any differently then I would.

I let my brother drive, because I trust him with a modified import. He's a fellow modified car lover as well, with the modifications to prove it. He has many hours of driving and even though he's been in wrecks, none were his fault.

I let my friend Benz01GS from this site drive my car because we've both put numerous hours of work, blood, sweat and tears into each other's cars and we trust each other.

I also let the guy who does alignments drive my car, because, well, he can't get it up onto the lift without driving it.

I started this poll to find out where people stand on letting others drive their cars. I have a friend who keeps bugging me to drive my car. I've known her for a couple of years. She's alright, not a real close friend or anything. I won't let her drive my car, but she keeps asking, repeatedly. I'm going to base my decision on this poll. I'm wondering if I'm within the standard curve of Tiburon lovers.

I usually don't let anybody drive my Tib. I was trying to teach my GF how to drive a stick in my car but I got paranoid... Eyecrazy.gif

1 or 2 people. last time i left my key on the table in my room while on vacation. when i came back my car needed bodywork. turns out my sister's boyfriend took it out drunk driving and thought it would be funny to hit a trashcan. trashcan was full. guy and sister tried to hide it, and when i finally found out he didn't want to pay for it to be fixed.

I only let my family (including my fiancee, although she doesn't know how to drive stick - I'm teaching her on it) drive it. And I only let them drive if I'm in the car (so far only one exception to that one). Nobody takes that thing out without me. If I'm in the car, anyone in my immediate family may drive it.

My parents can if they want, but they dont. No one else not even my brother.

I let my friend use it one day when I was at work and he ended up getting a ticket in it and decided not to pay it. I only found out when I started getting pulled over for a warrant on my car in my friends name >.>

People driving your car =



no one else will be driving mine anytime soon.

I usually won't let anyone drive it unless it is absolutely needed.

Even then it would only be my gf or parents and I would be nervous the entire time until it came back safe lol.
