Trusted friend without me in car... Simply because he has an EVO as well.. So if he breaks it, I own his!!

Oh yeah about a week after I got the car my brother in-law and I went up Highway 1 and I let him drive part of the way. He did pretty good except when he had a "Kiwi moment" and started driving on the wrong side of the road! It was pretty funny actually. He drives about 60k a year back in New Zealand and he got confused for a few moments.

Me, myself and I. I learned the hard way back in 1994, don't let anyone drive my cars except in case of emergency. The emergency would require me to not be able to drive. So far so good. Wife will never learn to drive stick so I don't have to worry about her driving it while I am deployed.

basically close friends, but only if im in the car. i hate when my cars not in my possession. my brother took my car out for the night before, and was gone all night. i was pissed.

but when i let my friends drive, they never got full throttle. i gotta tell them its coo and go ahead and step on it. its nice to actually full the power of ur car in the passenger seat. the car feels that much more powerful.

but if they ask me to drive my car i wont let them drive it. they best wait until i just say "here u can drive." which is hardly ever.

I pretty much let my friends drive it when they want to. I don't really care too much so long as I know who they are.

I let anyone drive it. It's just a piece of tin. Hell I let anyone drive my M3 and my 911. That's what friends are for.

hardly anyone drives my car always just me.. only way your getting these keys is if you steal it from me or im pissed drunk and you know how to drive stick.. my friend really wants to trade cars (g35) but not going to until he gets his body kit on and his 20's... seems like an even trade then, just scared cos i know hes going to WOT it grr...

Evo is a great car, share the wealth! As long as they are reasonable people they are not gonna break your car. Prolly be way more careful than I am with it...


yeah, i'm kinda the same way, but i dont let them take it if they want, i have to be in a good mood, but with immediate family if i'm not gonna use my car, then they can whenever they want

The only people I will really let drive my car are me and some of my close friends that I know are not going to go out and beat it to death. I have to be with them though I have faith in them, but after all it is an EVO.
