that makes me think of this :icon17: but the answer is no... not while she's mine

probably NSFW

Nope you buy it you drive it plain and simple. :tup:

I usually let anyone drive it, im very open and free and want people to enjoy the car, but no good deed goes unpunished. My dad drove it, and was eating his McDonalds fries and burger while driving, nearly veering off the road a few times not paying attention. Then pulled into a bank and processed to hit the nismo splitter directly into a tall curb, bending the whole front bumper and resulted in pinch points and spider cracks front of both wheels and didn't seem to care much. He was also shifting poorly, driving in too high of a gear stressing the engine, and downshifting without rev matching (didnt like SRM).

So i no longer let anyone drive it.

The person must meet ALL of the following criteria before he or she can drive my Z:

1. A trusted friend
2. A true car/driving enthusiast
3. Respects other people's property (especially my sh1t)
4. Not an idiot

Of course all of this goes out the window when I take the Z to the dealer.

Took it to a performance shop last Saturday to install my rotors, pads, and flush out the brake fluid. The tech did a great job. Another tech took it to test and came back with my lip cracked open. They have a body shop on the premises for custom work and the owner committed to repair it but it is a hassle. Not coming back. I'd be desperate if I did.

Man... That's really shitty... Especially on such a nice car like yours...

Holy crap... I just got rear ended in my dad's Maxima at a stop, probably at like 10MPH, and I lost sensitivity along the bottom of my arm and my pinky, and sometimes my ring finger... (It feels like it's asleep...) went to the doctor and he said I have stiffness in my neck because I can't rotate one way as much as the other, and my dad has back pain...

Please, PLEASE go get yourself checked out... That accident will have repercussions in the future, and I hate to see you be in pain later because of someone else's stupid mistake.

The only person who drives my car, other than me, is my girlfriend.

For the simple reason that she is the most qualified! She is French, grew up driving manual boxes and motorbikes in France...

which makes her 50x more competent than most of my clown friends, and it shows on the road. It seems like a trend in New England to total several cars before you turn 25. So no thanks everyone else but you are free to ride shotgun...

Plus I think she's a smoke-show, so watching her rip gears is kinda hot...:yum:

:icon14:

This. My mom got popped by an uninsured illegal. She didn't go to the hospital since she thought she was just sore from airbags and getting knocked around. Turns out she had three broken vertebrae in her neck and the next two years of her life were a living hell. Go to the doctor.

Edit- that post was from March. He's either fine or dead by now if he didn't go get checked out.

I don't unless I absolutely trust them. There are only 2 people on my list that fit that description. I others drive when I am in the passenger seat. I refuse to let just anyone because the blind spots in the car are horrible and take getting used to.

:icon18: lol, sorry...

(And I didn't notice that)

Yes I do.. but whenever my Dad does I make sure to catch him boosting on film. My "car" friends are scared they will break it so they don't seem to ever lay on it... :tup:

i think i posted earlier, but to re-cap...

no

There is only one other person that drives my Z. That is the Wife anyone else is off limits.

Of course the nissan crew that does my oil changes can to but I watch them like a hawk. they know it too, the service rep always tells me dont worry Mr. Paz we will take care of it.

LOL I am sure they hate me.

I do, but only friends. 90% of it is because i want to laugh at them. The 370 is probably the most difficult manual car ive ever driven. I always tell them you WILL stall it. And they always come back with that snarky "ive driven manual for years" comment. Then they stall it :roflpuke2:

Also I must be in the car, and take it how u want.....but ive seen the internet, no chicks behind the wheel of my Z. Not even the waifu. If she wants to do her instinctual wrecking car thing she can go do it in the subaru, much cheaper to replace parts each time a bout of female driver syndrome takes over.

Oh boy...:tup:

never. i'd let my gf drive and even tell her to cause she looks hot driving my Z, but she's always afraid lol

Now, unboosted...sure. Taught my son to drive a manual just last week. Will do a few more parking lot drives and then maybe an early morning Sunday. It's insured so whatever.

In January after Fast Intentions twins? Hell no...well, the valet and mechanics but they will get to enjoy her with UpRev 'Valet' mode!

*Edit: After twins...I guess the exception would be well known fellow enthusiasts that have a history of driving hard so I know the hp won't get out from under them.

Drive Car, short list, Wife and Son, only because I trained them both on high power cars/manual trans, old school no driver aids...

I trust them both...

My Dad, he trained me...

I may take other for a ride, but not often.

I let my dad drive it because he is a car nut and insisted that I learned how to drive in a manual transmission Datsun.

I let my GF drive it because she's German and grew up diving stick BMW's and Audi's

I left my car (Rx-7 twin turbo) and keys at the alignment shop once.
When I walked in a hr later the tech said ("Holy $hit is that thing fast.")
Last time I leave my sports cars alone anyone!
Some guy years ago hid a recorder in his Chevy as he suspected someone was abusing his car at the shop. They flogged that thing. I'm sure the dealer paid dearly for that.

My husband drives it at will but he's not that interested.
A friend at auto-x that can fix it if he breaks it drove it once.
And a guy at work once.
He has a Porsche Boxter-he offered to let me take it for a drive-h3ll yeah!!
So the next day he took my Z.
I think he was as impressed as i was! Lol
I preferred the Z, although the Porsche was cool, it was a bit ho-hum on the front end. Gimme up front torque please!

Il let my dad drive it since he lets me take out his cars however only if I am in the passenger seat as well as some of my really close enthusiast buddies

must be a full moon tonight? or everyone had a bad day? no sex? lack of sleep? lol. anyways I hope my 2012 auto doesn't start crapping out on me:confused:

I let my new gf drive my car and when we got back to my apartments the bitch drove up to far and curb checked the fascia:/ but I know she is just a woman and didn't mean to so she got punished in other ways lmao!! she knew she f'd up and deserved it:roflpuke2:

And your gf IS Asian...

Nope. Plus most my friends can't drive stick anyhow. I'd consider letting my wife, but she can't drive stick either!

i let my sister drive the Z to work the other day. it was horrible!!! HORRIBLE!!!

:rofl2:

What happened?

nothing happened to the car,
it was the anxiety of what could have happened!! :rofl2:

I've got a few friends I would let drive the Z if I were a passenger. They can both replace the car if they break it, and they drive a manual every day. I've never ridden in the passenger seat, so I'm kinda curious since cars always feel faster as a passenger.

It's that "lack of control" feeling. :eekdance:

specially when they shift at higher rpms than you would under causal driving...
"oh god why isn't he upshifting!"

If I let one of my buddies drive the car with me riding shotgun, he'll be specifically instructed to take it to redline at WOT for more than one gear. The car feels "normal" now, so the whole point in going for a ride is to remind me that it's really fast.

I only let one person drive my Z. It was a service manager at a dealership. He had to drive it in their shop when I needed the tpms sensors initialized when I got my new wheels. He couldn't even do that right. Instead of driving on the ramp lift, he tried to drive up on the four point lift. I stopped him before he bottomed out the sides on the lift arms.

If sitting counts as driving, sure. LOL!

So far just one person because I know he won't do anything to it. :)

Chuck, Exactly! I had to tell both of the guys who drove my car (they were babying it) to "stomp it, the car won't break". The happiness on their faces and seeing their hands shake after the drive, priceless!

2014 Chevy Corvette for parts

"I'm parting out my Corvette since it was wrecked. Gave it to some guy named Mikey G to detail it and the next thing I know it turns up wrecked. So I'm parting it out now.

Still has good engine and was only wrecked in the rear and top. Has the 7 speed manual transmission.

Only has 1257 miles on it. Will not sell whole so don't ask.

If interested contact Trent at (402) 382-5968"

hey, you are all over the news man. that sucks. did insurance cover you?

but see what i mean about letting other people drive your car?
