My car is not a amusement park ride!

does any one feel like thier car is a amusement park ride? i just bought a used evo last week and evey science i got it it seems like every one thinks they can just get in line and take it for a spin. from my friends to my familey everyone has to drive it. it kinda pisses me off and i feel really bad telling people that i dont what them driving it. but if i telll them no they cant drive it they get all pised off like im the biggest a$$ hole. It wouldnt be that bad but every time someone new gets in it all they do is trash it. they fly up and down back roads shifting at 6k every time. ill yell at them but they dont get the picture. my car has a ACT clutch in it and is kinda trickey for anyon who realy never drove a car like it before. it just pisses me OFF! i didnt pay $23,000 for other people to drive a evo i payed $23,000 for me to drive it. does anyone else feel the same as i do?

Wait until you hear one of your friends shift and grind some of your gears, thats when all bets are off. Why wait for something like that to happen?

Just laugh it off and tell 'em you can't because god forbid something happened insurance wouldn't cover it. One of my friends asks all the time.

The only ones I've let drive my Evo are my dad, my brother, and my fiancee, none of which ever drove it alone.
