Do you let other people drive your car?

Daishi9000 · 03-07-2013, 08:09 PM

Recently, i took my car to get a new diff installed. the tech guy asked for my keys. i looked at him for about a second and i hesitantly gave him the key so he could move the car into the shop.
So i watch him get on my car and drive it just a short distance into the lift bay.
It was awesome to see my car in motion, i had seen tons of other z's but never my own. i had just installed swift springs and it was just a treat to see my own car looking so good from the outside. it's just something i had never really get to see in real time.

sure, other people have driven my car, but i was always in the passenger seat. and they were no strangers. just a couple of times for a few miles.

It was a weird feeling, it was a treat to see my car in motion, but at the same time i felt like my car was going to be totaled or something.....haha.

I don't give a fúck who drives my car, I hope the motherfúcker gets totaled soon so I can get out of the Nissan brand

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.

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.

let me get your keys real quick

So far, nobody has driven my car yet except me, but I'm sure it'll change once I go for my inspection. The shop I go to they tend to pull the car out for you when they're done.

My car has 40 problems and the god damn dealershit really blamed all of them on me "needing in a battery"
Ex: Fuckérs are SO lazy the instead of test driving te car to see if Cruise control works, they plugged it into their computer which says it works... Fuckíng thing DOESN'T WORK...

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

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.

If you promise to total it in a way that I can blame it on someone else, or an act of God, I'll FedEx my keys to you and a plane ticket

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.

part it out, trade it in?

xxAGAVExx · 03-07-2013, 09:07 PM

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.

I already took all the parts off, lol

I'm going to be looking into trading it in VERY soon...
I just don't want to get raped on a trade in
It's such a shame because I really appreciate everyone here...
I'm going to look into selling the 1 month old Maxima too...
