My wife gets to drive it on evenings and weekends if she needs to go someplace while I watch our baby. Oh and I let a good friend drive it after he helped me change all of the cars fluids.

Ive only let a hand full of people drive my S.
1) when it was stock i let my best friend drive it once while i was gone to basic training.
2) attempted to teach an ex gf to drive stick in in ONCE! she ran it off a curb and dented the bottom of the car.... ( still mad about that)
3) let another s2k owner try out my ap1 while i tried out his ap2
THATS IT! i have a couple of people who think they are gonna get to take it off but it will never happen. especially now that its turbo! im ok with being selfish with my most prized posesion. the car was built by me, for me.

Sorry, my S is the one material possession that I have that is much more than a material possession. No one will be in the driver seat if the engine is on besides myself. It's not about trust, selfish/selflessness, abilities, etc., it's the simple fact that it is representative of something much larger than just a car.
Even though I did let my gf at the time try to drive it.

I let close friends and family that I trust drive it with me riding shot gun all the time.

At autox I let drivers I know I can trust co-drive or take it on fun-runs

My Fiance' knows she can drive it any time she asks as long as I dont need it, but then again she is also normally my co-driver at autox's

My mom drove it alone a few times before I got the racing seat, now she doesnt fit (sorry mom), and I have let my sister take it to school alone once (not High school but cosmetology school) when my mom was in the hospital with the minivan and I was babysitting the 6 and 7 yr olds. I borrowed her civic in case I needed to take the kids somewhere.

Ya, as dick as it sounds, id rather not have anyone but me drive the S. My dad can drive it, but he usually puts gas in it for me haha. I sure as hell wouldn't teach anyone stick on it. I learned stick on my first car and i've never smelt so much clutch.

I rarely let anyone drive my car. I probably let a hand full of people drive it. But that's about it. I taught my ex-gf how to drive a stick in my car and she did fairly good.

We all know it's just a car but it's our car and our prized possession. Plus what if something were to happen? That's my main concern too.

A select few family and friends who I know can drive stick and sporty cars.

Anyone who wants to learn stick I can teach on my 99 integra
