Who won't let anyone drive your EVO?
 
Alright I don't have one yet but I have a good friend who is buying an s2000, he can't drive stick for SH** right now but he asked me even when he becomes a master at it if I'd let him drive my EVO when I get it, I said nope... simply, nope. He got all offended as if I was just one of those punks that doesn't let anyone drive just because it's MINE. I told him if it were any other car then yes but with all the important/expensive things that can break when someone who isn't used to this type of car that I had a case, he acts like I am saying no just because I can say no and be a snob. Who is allowed to drive YOUR car and am I really a douche bag as he says?

The only person that drives my car is my wife.

I used to be exactly like that with a previous car I owned. But then an extended family member threw me the keys to his ferrari, and I realized how insane I was being. I figured if he could trust me with a ferrari, I could start trust friends with my car.

I still will only let people drive that I know can drive stick well, won't screw me over if they do break something, and I'm with them. I haven't had a problem with my good friends driving my cars, and I've gotten to drive some sweet rides in return (college roommate is getting a new z06 soon) sometimes karma is a good thing too!

I let the GF drive the Evo, and a few close friends who also trust me with their tuned cars (typically other AWD turbo cars). This is only a once-in-a-while occasion though.

i let my girl friend drive it once, she rev'd it up to 4k and SLOOOOOOOOOWLY let the clutch out.... OMG... my poor clutch.

so, now, I only allow myself to drive it. :D

I've tried to teach my GF to drive on my car, hasn't gone very well but whatever. Also I only let friends drive my car on the highway during long trips back and forth to college and home.

Aside from that, no one drives it.

Same here.

I let folks drive it, but only if they have years experience driving a stick AND if I'm in the car.

My immediate family who know how to drive standard and a few close friends who all have their own tuned cars and a sense of responsibility are the only ones I let drive it.

The only person I let drive my evo is my best friend. He actually was the trusting one at first. He had a 300zx modidifed twin turbo and a 240sx with SR20DET and he let me drive them both before I had my evo.
