parents are a bit older so they don't even wanna get into my ride, but my sis definitely. knows how **** i get about certain things on the roads like speedbumps, potholes, and curbs. cousins, even though they're car enthusiasts, i wont cuz they will most likely push her really hard in short distances, which i hate. i did let the lexus personnel drive it for a maintenance check/LPS work done, and it definitely won't happen again.

First and foremost my GF gets to drive the car when she wants, aside from her only when I've taken it to the dealer. Simple reasons why my friends don't drive it I don't want them to be responsible for damaging anything.

Aside from that I drive most of my friends IS's, believe it or not I'm the only one they trust driving their car.

I almost never let anyone just take it out. The only non-family person who I let drive my car is my close friend. He drives stick, never really got into the whole mod scene, but he knows how to baby a car regardless.
And of course, my dad takes it out every now and then. I mean, it's only fair because his name is on the title of the car. We did it that way because insurance would have been ridiculous if my name was on it.
I've taught a couple people how to drive stick in my car too. It wasn't as bad as it seems. They were pretty good at it; not too much stalling, got out of the parking lot in about half an hour.

Haha for the most part, I do not allow anybody to drive my car…hell…I don’t even usually have passengers (Giant domokuns occupy my seats instead hehe):



My bf has driven both of my cars (also have a lowered 94 integra) and phil (phat monkey) from CL has driven my IS…once. Haha but that’s it. luckily, my family are too scared to drive my cars, even if its just to park it hehe lowered cars = scary to them

Agreed. I have no problems letting others drive my car, so long as I'm aware of their driving habits and intentions. If a mistake happens, it's fully insured.

Sadly, many people feel its a glass car, and so they're afraid to drive, even when I ask them to (despite having a great record with their car(s)). Personally, I find it to be a very easy car to drive (on the street), given all the electronic assist. You'd really have to be trying to push it beyond your limits, to get into trouble.

I've let one of my best friend and my brother drive. If I know someone is a good driver then I'll let them give my car a spin, if not then good luck! Usually people become cautious when they drive my car since it is a lex
