Default Letting other people drive your car..
Just something I was curious about.

Granted we all love our cars but do you share your passion by letting others behind the wheel?

Im usually all for it assuming they are trustworthy (i.e, not beating on it, can be held responsible if something happens). Im all for trading cars for the day.

Typically no unless I know they're a good (i.e. respectful) driver.

I do it all the time. I scare them about how twitchy the S is though.

I'm more concerned about the liability if my car hurts someone than if my car is damaged.
