Would you let another guy take you're girlfriend/missus out?

LOL I had this argument with a mate who wanted to use my 260RS for a quick trip up the road.

He asked if he could borrow my ride. I said NO! and he was cut. Until I asked him the above - Would you let another guy take your girlfriend out? LOL

So am I alone in this? Do you let mates/friends use your wheels?

He says I have a problem. Damn straight I do. Just as I would never let another guy take out my girl, you've got the same chance of taking out my wheels.

:(

It really depends for me - if my friends own equally nice cars (or at least take care of their cars) and they would lend them to me if I needed, then I would consider it.

Granted, it would have to be someone I knew well, or at least absolutely know for sure that they were trust-worthy.

There are quite a few friends and relatives that I have no hesitation in letting drive my car, and others that I know equally well who I refuse to let drive my car! In fact, with one of my best friends, I've offered to let him drive on a number of occasions, and a few weeks ago when we were out delivering something to another friend of mine, he asked me for the keys, and I gave them to him without hesitation. It's an extreme rarity that I let someone drive my car if they ask me for a run in it.

Hell no. I never let any of my girlfriends drive my wife.

Only myself and my tuner is allowed to drive mine.. not even my dad is allowed :) Harsh if you ask me, but I dont trust his driving.

kidafa drives mine a bit n vis versa... if he had a crash i know what my hire car would be :) lol nicly modded s1 :)

then again the pussy footing he did in the 260 i dnt think he coulda crashed it!

The boy drives my car but he's the only one other than me. Unless it's someone I really trust, or like the others have said drive a car of similar standard then no-one drives it but us. It's just not worth the hassle if something goes wrong. You know what it's like when bad things happen between friends... Even when it's a genuine accident, that kind of stuff NEVER ends well :)

My close mates. .yes, but they are all over 30 and drive GTR's, Evo's STI's etc. .

When needed they throw the keys no questions. .

Randoms and wannabes. . hell no.

The ex girlfriend. The answer was always no. Can i take her to the coast... no Girl in car = mess in car. Etc etc. Maybe i was being unreasanable but f**k me, the car was much more important and i give it more attention then any female.

Friends, no. Best mate, yes but like goldzilla, its similar circumstances.

I've only ever let my gf and my mechanic drive my car (she's on here though, owned an R33 and now a Onevia) and only a select few times when I was in the passenger seat. Even then she didn't drive very fast because she was scared of scratching my perfect wheels, good girl! :D

My brother has asked many times, and every time the answer has been no.

As for my folks I think both my mum and dad would have trouble getting in and out of the Bride seat, lol!

i've let a couple of my mates drive my 31 but i thrash that worse than they ever could and its the gf's car now so i dont really care too much about it

i let me gf drive my 32 a couple of times, i was in the car for most of them and she needed it to get to work once. i was more worried about where it was parked than her driving it

she hasn't driven the stag yet tho even though the insurance agreed to cover her too (for no extra fee cos i told them it was my car and she would rarely drive it)

both my parents want a go in the stag too but they will have to wait till i get back (currently in south africa and they let me put it in the garage so i kinda owe them for that)

i dont think may ppl will get a go in the stag, not untill the novalty wears off but thats gonna take a long time :D

LOL.......nup.....now way never....don't even like letting my wife drive my car.

On that subject.....years ago I had a Giocattalo(had 450hp ATW's).....anyways was at Wakefield park and this random guy(turned out to be an instructor) came up and tried to tell me he was taking my car for a couple of laps(thats right didn't ask....told me).......anyway I asked what he had at the track....his answer a VR SS Commodore...so I said fine....but give me the key's to your VR SS.....his answer no......Wont tell you my answer back to him but it was colourful!!!!....moron.

P.S. Like your avatar pic willL

the best quote ever "you aren't insured for my car"!

i would kindly lend MY missus if they were willing to lend their missus ;) .... eye for an eye.

(but she'd have to be of equal value / quality ) haha

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
