Do you let other people drive your car?

Good chance I'll be driving it back to park it there and PRAYING TO CHRIST it floods again

And God bless State Farm, they paid me $7k over what I paid for that car, and they'd overpay on this car like $5000

Yup. The Z is my first Nissan and the amount of problems (rattle noises, clutch valve leak, steering lock, TPMS, squeak here and there, etc.) it has for a new car is intolerable and unacceptable. I'm really disappointed at Nissan. I used to own a Celica and it has literally zero issues for 10 years. This makes me really sad since I really like the Z...

Only if it's being serviced (tires, dealership (yikes), or the car-wash (hand-wash of course), etc.).

Friends? Nope. You can ride along, but that's it.

I have trust issues.

I don't care if anyone else drives them. Aside from the 370, they are all insured and covered.

ts-c63 · 03-07-2013, 08:23 PM

the only friends I let drive my car are friends that also have nice cars. So they actually respect the car and know how to drive.

silentnightz · 03-07-2013, 08:59 PM

I only let my family drive & service station drive my car. Most of my friends want to drive my z I say no. Knowing them they would probably crash it and say whoops my bad.

My wife drives my car all the time. I let one of my friends drive my car so I could hear the exhaust from outside. Another one after I installed the test pipes. Another one after headers. Another one after I installed the coilovers and sway bars on my car to see how much body roll I still had lol.

You've been saying that since the day I met you lol.

Fortunately I have a MT so hardly anyone could even drive it if they wanted to. Nobody seems to know how to drive a stick anymore.

what if you leave your car just outside a hockey stadium when there is a big game, put visiting teams paraphernalia on the car and hope the home team loses and hope for a riot! the car will be destroyed in seconds!

I've thought about this when i had a ford!

That's 100% ok
When do you want the keys?

I have always been pretty free in letting friends drive my car. I don't let anyone drive the Z though because of the drop. To easy to tear something up if they don't know how to drive it. I stare down the techs at Nissan as they pull it into the bay.

I'm going to stop cluttering this thread...
Sorry OP

TheGreatOne · 03-07-2013, 09:53 PM

In general I don't like letting people drive my car unless for service etc and as OP said, kinda cool to see your car in motion

I've only let real car guys drive it...like my buddy who had a 335, we swapped cars to see how they felt and I've let 2 guys from my club drive my Z down the 1/4 to see if they can get a better time with it than I could.

When I work on my car some friends help me, and when they work on their car I help them. I have no problem in letting my car buddies drive my Z, most of them are good friends I trust.

I did also teach one of my friends how to drive a MT on my Z, she picked it up within 5 minutes and I made her drive around town for about an hour (mind you at about 4AM).

One of my friends is a NASA instructor and he let me drive his spec miata on track for about 8 hours total, I let him drive my Z on track. At one track day when my brother's S14 blew a trubo gasket and melted the dizzy I let him borrow my Z for the rest of the event.

No matter how hard I drive my sports car, it shouldn't have a laundry list of problems at 30k miles

I can pay it off whenever I want. I'm just not paying it to build my credit score

I wonder if your car and mine were built around the same time.

On topic, almost everyone is allowed to drive mine.
