Its funny how weird I am about letting people drive my manual trans car.
I don’t want anyone to drive it, and I drive a piece of shit 03 saturn ion. Imagine if I had a real car.
I put mobil 1 in the gearbox, and it shifts so slick. I don’t want anyone to mess it up.
My girlfriends father moved it out of the driveway when I was sleeping, and I felt sick to my stomach because I knew that he had moved it, and he isn’t very adept at driving a stick.
If it was an automatic, I wouldn’t care in a million years who backed it up.
Depends on the car. I loaned out the S2000 a lot because it was easy to drive and relatively foolproof. No one (outside of a very select few) drives the FD because it’s a fucking monster and most people have no idea what they’d be in for. Though, it is super easy to drive thanks to tons of torque, low weight and high gears.
So basically you’re the only one who drives it? Didn’t your setup have like 800 something crazy horsepower? I don’t think many people really could handle that.
Let someone drive my car once, did that. nobody has driven it since.
The BMW, I dont give a shit, I give it to everyone.
The Porsche, very very very select few due to the gearbox being finicky (very easy to blow up if you dont know how to drive it) and the way the power comes on and the extremely low weight. Brent_strong and dmoffitt are two people who I dont hesitate to toss the keys to the pcar to for any extended period of time.
the mazda i would loan to a few people who i knew could drive it. the jeep was pretty off limits only because it had an off road clutch and was tough to manage if you didnt know what you were getting yourself into.
no, im saying people who have handled alot of power before, whether it be in their own, or whatever. obviously firehawk853 can handle the power. he drives mine and i drive his. same with muscle50. when we have neighborhood parties and im too drunk to drive, i let him take out jessica alba and jessica simpson and scare their nice little skirts off. psychopjv has driven it because we like to give each other baths. my dad can drive it because he can handle it, and if for some reason something went wrong, he can afford to replace it. same goes to my nieghbor. hes not the best driver, but fuck, if he puts it in the wall, ill just take his viper, or challenger, or challenger, or cuda, or cuda, or denali. get the point? lol.
and i trust most of my closer friends. if i tell them to not get on it, i trust that they wont. at the end of the day its just a car. if they can get my car rolling with the solid iron disc, they are good to go
