What do you mean buy can't drive a car. Was this person legally driving her car? I told my wife never to drive, touch, look at or even talk to my new car. (WRX) I guess I am anal.

probably refers to the part of backing into a bimmer.

NIZMO, to answer your question, the only people that can drive my car are my dad, my GF(when I'm drunk) and NICO buddies. Everyone else isn't even allowed to be in it as a passenger.

Hmmm... :thinker No I wouldnt let some young kid driving my car, except for my brother and reason would be if I was showing him how to drive a stick shift and i would be present. And I dunno if I can trust my friends driving my car ever b/c one she doesnt give flying flip on when she takes off, the other he has his car still waiting to be fixed b/c some lady ran redlight and knocked his fender down the road 40ft. from the scene, the other one flipped a car he was driving upside down. I'm picky so I dunno who, unless I really needed someone to drive for me if I was hurt or something. That be the only time and I would allow my mom. :)

My brother, and two friends have, oh yeah my dad too. The only person that I would let drive my car again would be my brother. He is a very good and responsible driver.

However, my sister will be learning to drive stick between my brother and my car. Hell, my transmission needs a rebuild anyway.

Right now there are too many little quirks to be letting people drive it. The person you are talking about is just simply stupid, Nizmo, I hope the kid totals the girls car and they all get in a lot of trouble...how could you be that irresponsible with a 2800 lb mass of metal?

i thought many people how to drive and how to drive a stick in my cars over the years , im anal about my cars but i enjoy teaching people how to drive so much that the car takes a back seat ....if they burn up the clutch it just gives me a excuse to swap it out with something good ...but they have to be a good freind of mine ....odd thing is i wont let someone drive it if im not teching them , and no one drives it without me , only 2 people have took it with me in it , one was the wrecker , the other was a salesman that was "appriseing " it , he brought it back in just as i was dialing 911 to report it stolen , hate it when they take off with your car without permission , told me he only needed the keys to unlock the steering wheel to see the odometer, next thing i know is its flying out of the parkinglot

now i just need to find another car , then slow this car buying thing down , ive owned 7 cars since i was 16 and im only 22 now ...and ive only totaled one , the others were lemon laws and mechainical failures that i didnt have time to deal with

My mom goes around telling people I wont let her drive my car but when I offer she says no thats alright. Like you do or you dont. So I get her back by saying well you cant handle it. lol She still hasnt drove it yet. lol

Tonight she said she doesnt want to ride with me again. I turned too fast and she held onto the door and dash to brace herself as I sped up the hill :D I really dont want her driving it in the first place, but I doubt she will ever.

there have been 3 people (other than me and my parents) drive my car. two really good friends (they let me drive theirs, so) and my precher. i just got the car, so i was happy and i let him. never again will he, though. i didnt' like the way he pulled out onto the road. he didn't go fast, just, i didnt like it. i'm very picky. i hate it when other people drive my car.

I hear ya Ben, its like my chest shrinks and I can't breath. I start feeling a lil woozy and then I make them get the hell outta my driver seat.

Heres a funny lil thing though, one time one of my good friends kept on begging me to let him drive my car. One time when he asked, I pulled over to a parking lot, took out my keys and said okay lets change spots. He ran over to the driver side as quick as possible not realizing the keys weren't in it. When he sat down and I sat in the passanger seat he asked me "where in the hell are the keys". My response..."the keys are in my pocket, I just wanted you to realize this is as close as you are gonna get to driving my car, enjoy it as$hole!". Well, I think its funny anyways.
