In the case of the very few cases, I approached it depending on the person and familiarity. Usually the "unqualified" ones are timid in driving and I usually encourage them to drive it closer to the limit.

What is the qualification, you ask? I consider a "qualified" person as one who has competition experience. Any of my autocrossing friends qualifies. From time to time, I have offered and allowed a friend to drive my C6Z06 in an autox when his own Corvette broke down. Another time, a less experienced friend drove my CTS-V and I coached him how to go through my favorite 100-mph on-ramp (downshift to 5th, hold speed at about 100 mph, steer, and never lift!).
I wanted to know how others would treat with annoying nuisances, especially in that situation of my thread title.

It is good if your cars have been not yet in any trouble, and you can permit only 'qualified' drivers to try yours.

I think a respectful no is enough. You are not obligated to let anyone drive your car if you dont feel comfortable with it. Youre either OK with it or youre not.

If they want a test drive, nissan dealerships give them out for free! They will even sell you a 370z if you like the car
