It depends on the situation. No one drives any of my cars until I feel it is ready to be driven, and even then I am careful about who drives them. So far only 2 people besides me have driven my old 2, and so far no one else has driven my new one yet. ---

i clicked yes but it depends on the person and whether i believe they possess a sense of accountability where they will either feel obligated or have the means to fix something on my cars if they break it. I often refuse to drive people’s cars where i couldnt afford to fix or replace it or if it wouldnt be worth it (the joy of driving it vs. the obligation to fix it) since that’s how i look at it i get pretty offended when some people don’t let me drive their cars (Josh, Newman!!!) ---

Of course. One exception is not at a track day. If you want to ride along fine but the only one driving my car on a track is me. ---

I’ve let many folks drive my cars. The Lotus is a bit of an exception. A few people have driven it, but that’s about it. It’s just too difficult to replace if anything were to happen. But I did let my mom take it for the w/e once to Sunset Bay…I trust her… ---

As others have mentioned, driving stick limits the pool of potential people that I know who would be willing to drive my car, so more often than not I’m driving it. But if I’m on a longer trip and one of my friends wants to drive, no problems there. ---

Yeah. Idgaf. Not like I’ve owned anything new or fast anyway. Wanna learn how to drive stick? Pick which car you wanna use. Haha. Well except the corrado, clutch is weird and I hate when people get the floor mat all jammed up under the pedals and don’t fix it. Basically if you can drive standard and I like you, sure. ---

I usually let anyone that asks drive it as long as they can drive stick and understand the shift light redline in my car. ---

considering I love co-drivers, yes, all of my cars are passed around like whores. That’s the only way you can get data and find out where you personally can go faster. ---

It depends. I’m amazed at how many of my friends don’t know how to properly drive a manual car. There are certain people however that I can just toss the keys to and let them go without worrying about it. ---

I don’t give a fuck who drives my Jizm. The Miata, not so much. It’s mine and I’m selfish, fuck off. The motorcycles, I can count the number of people I’ve trusted to ride mine on 3 fingers. ---

I feel like all of my good friends have driven my cars. I’m not gonna let joe blow in a parking lot take either of them, but close friends I have zero problem with sharing the fun.
