Yeah there are only 3 people I let drive my cars besides me...even though they've never been too fast.

Wife, best friend and Steve @ SNL Performance. Nobody else is getting the keys.

Wow you guys are a little up tight about your cars. I let a couple guys at work, my father in law, brother in law, and anyone I have known for a little while drive it as long as I know they can drive a stick. I'm sure he wasn't saying, "hey let me take your car to red line in 1st-4th more like let me take it around the block to see what this shifter is all about. Hell I have driven garys cobra and boss, took Nic's down the strip, and drove my best friends 12 and 03 cobra almost the day he bought them. That's the main reason I bought the mach then the 5.0

Nothing personal, but my car is a little different than most here and I'm not turning someone loose in it who isn't used to driving a 600+ horsepower car.

More than likely. I once let a friend drive one of my cars. It was a sweet, slammed 89 LX hatch on chrome ponies. H/C/I and a 150 shot. The car was just beautiful and sounded amazing. I let my buddy Brad drive it because he was always a Camaro guy and had never driven a fox before. He told me he would take it easy that just wanted to see what it felt like. Mind you, this was one of my really good friends. He was a calm, responsible dude who I had never known to get a ticket let alone wreck.

The ride started out fine. He was grinning ear to ear just hearing it driving through the neighborhood. We pulled up to a stop sign and the car had warmed up and really started camming at that point and he started giggling like a schoolgirl. He gave is a lil gas and took off and he was like "oh shit!". He continued to row through the gears hauling ass and the street came to a "T" end, he locked up the brakes and the car slid all the way through the stop sign to the other side of the street slamming into the curb....right where the drainage ditch was....BAM. He probably hit it around 50mph. The damage was so bad the K member on the right side was pushed to the firewall and buckled the LEFT side of the ROOF. Car was totaled and even worse a friendship ruined forever.

That was 15 years ago. Since then I had several cars, including my 93 Cobra I had for seven years and no one drove the car but me, not even my wife. I've had my 12 GT for over a year now and the wife has only driven it onceand Toby drove it around the block after putting in the shifter.

When I go to sell the 12 GT here soon, no one will drive it then either unless they bring a check with them just like every car I've sold.

In short, can you drive my car? Fuck no and I won't drive yours either. With exception of Will who throws me the keys to every car he owns. lol. I drove the V and didn't leave the parking lot or get into boost even though he told me to go have fun with it. I don't reem on my own car, I certainly won't do it to someone else's car.
I feel the same way I dont want anyone driving mine and I really dont wanna drive anyone else's. Too much pressure on me driving someone else's car. Stories like your's and other's where friends mechanically over rev the owner's shit is enough to keep me from throwing friends the keys
