Sometimes. I'm usually sitting in the passenger seat tho..

There are only a few people I let drive my car and the list is locked down now! I just went thru a bunch of BS after I got rear ended to use the insurance money to put towards a body kit instead of factory parts and I get the car back and 2 weeks later I let a “friend" drive her and he did fine till we pulled into the parking spot and the dumba*% hits the curb with the brand new front bumper! 750$ J-Spec 2.... if you know what that looks like the whole front lip cracked nasty but he bondo'd it up nicely but still

Only certain people drive her now!

heehee Most of the ppl that I know and would let drive any vehicle of mine don't want to drive the 370Z. My Dad is 6'+ and has problems with his feet and legs so getting in/out is a PITA for him. My best friend is afraid he'll wreck it (kind of surprised me since he has owned RX-7s, Vettes, &c).
My daughter has driven it a few times with me in the passenger seat. Not because I felt I needed to be there; I wasn't going to walk home just so she could solo.

It's just a car and it's insured, so I wouldn't be too worried to let someone I consider to be a good driver take it for a spin.

I'm more concerned about ppl driving my POS pickup truck with the worn out steering and iffy brakes. :)

No. Years ago, the Mazda tech/car jockey wrecked my beatiful Miata during a service visit. They fully repaired it, of course, but since then no one ever drives my Miata or my Z.

Hell no. After getting the estimate the other day from a (multiple branch locations) Nissan dealer close to my work to repair the rear bumper damage that occurred when I was rear ended, I was told that their dealership that actually had the body shop was 30 miles away. They said I could get a rental car from the local dealer and they would ferry my car up to the body shop and back down when done. No way I told them. I'll drop it off at the body shop myself and they can arrange for a rental car to be available to me up there.
I trust no one.

Not usually. GF can't drive a stick so that rules her out. A friend drove it when he came to visit and it was so weird sitting in the passenger seat.

it looks like that was a rear end collision, and other than a few circumstances, the driver can't really control that type of thing happening. If it was a friend, I wouldn't blame them too much (unless it was one of those few instances where the driver was being a complete idiot). I don't blame you, though, if you never let anyone else drive one of your cars again :tiphat:

Wow -- that does not look good. Are you OK? What happened?

stubie1918 03-14-2013 07:05 PM

It actually wasn't her fault. Some A$$hole was texting and driving. We were stopped for like 5 seconds and this guy in a Audi Allroad nailed us going 45mph. I got a concussion but she was fine. He hit us so hard it pushed us into the car in front of us.
