Got to have been my girl for atleast a year before I let her push the whip. I did just let my good friend drive my new car bec she was so excited. But it's cool bec she already has an IS so she knows how to drive it. I think she was more excited about the car than I was lol

Wow man if some of your girlfriends/wives are really that bad, i appreciate my girl that much more now. She knows to park in the back of parking lots away from carts, how to parallel parks without hitting the curb and does the walk around if the cars been out of her sight for a while....and that's just with her car Mine gets treated better/same when she has it then if i have it. I treat her car like mine when i drive it too.

If your girl don't respect your ish ...

I remember trying to teach my wife, who was my fiancee at the time, how to drive manual with my IS300 She eventually broke under pressure and never attempted again.

Like Lexi mentioned, it's not a gender issue. It's whether or not a person loves the car they're driving and to be quite frank, no one shares the bond I have with my IS

I just started to school my gf on how to drive my car. Watch for potholes, curbs, and door dinging situations. She knows if she rashes the Works, it's going to be an expensive fix.

Bad. Guys have more records of accidents and tickets, according to insurance rates.

You didn't see her previous posts about her accidents and tickets, did you?

But DVO won't let any of that get her down, no she won't! She's a trooper!

Default Girls can drive!

Well, some of them. My cars mean as much to me as my pool sticks. As far as another female driving my car, I don't think so, only because I don't find much in common w/them. No offence to the ladies out there, because if you're in CL, then I do have something in common w/you. Most females I know don't care what car they drive. I'm even scared of my mechanic driving my car. So yes, there are females out there that would take as good of your car as you would.

its not the driving, its the parking and trunk loading that comes along with running errands. door dings and rear bumper scratches.

this has little to do with female drivers, but just drivers in general that arent as OCD about parking spaces, etc. i cringe when i see my baby parked in between two cars in a "regular" spot.

Im nervous letting my girl drive my car, but I trust her with it. She drives a new BMW, so sometimes I like to trade cars and take hers. Only thing is she recently got one of the license plate frames with the pink swavorski crystals so I'm no longer interested in driving it haha.
