I would let my friends borrow my G35 or my Chevelle, but not the Z for the simple fact that it has 554whp and is very very easy to break loose on the street. I trust them not to do anything stupid, but I don't trust them to know how to handle a car with that kind of power. None of them have ever driven anything that powerful.

 

exactly the way I feel. The car can be fixed/replaced, but a person is another story

 

No, Never let any of my friends borrow my car. Learned it from my brother.

 

You guys are wonderful!!! Your comments are great!!! Have a nice weekend!!!

 

Hell No

Definitely not, I won't even let anyone drive it. It slides way too easy if someone isn't used to powerful cars. And most of my friends aren't.

I just bought my Z last week, coming from a Sentra. I've lost the back end quite a few times taking corners...I don't trust anyone with my beautiful car!

 

#@$ no

 

I don't borrow vehicles nor do I lend them out. I barely let my wife drive my Z.

 

ive let friends drive my car but with me in it... only my family can drive it without me in it since that generally only happens when i need to switch cars and borrow one of thier SUVs

I dont think id be friends with somebody that would routinely ask to borrow my car and then pass it off as their own. Maybe if i really owed a friend and they wanted to take it out one day, but who passes a car off as thier own to impress people? I dont know, just not the kinda people i like to hang around with i guess.

 

you guys are gay.
most of my friends have owned/driven actual fast cars, so letting them drive my z is no biggy. less than 300 crank hp and over 3300lbs??? the car is no rocket and the vdc keeps idiots from breaking the rear loose at every turn.
i let my brother borrow it routinely and i let my good friend drift it for a day.
it's just a z. i agree with others here though, even if i woned an 07 z06 i would still let friends/family drive it. i teach my g/f to drive manual with it from time to time. the car is fine...

 

yah considering my best friend is my 1st cousin...and he has an M3...**** I even let my girlfriend drive my car...THAT's trust lol

 

Hm... How about my mom's nephew? He's seeing someone, and wants to impress her by taking her out on a date in my car.

Should I let him borrow it? He says hes only going to borrow it for one hour and reassuringly tells me that he knows how to drive stick.

??

 

My wife can't drive stick and she has no desire to learn. Problem solved!

 

&@%*#^%@)#

Sloppy seconds again!

 

I will let my parents and my brother drive my car, as well as my 2 best friends. I will let my family borrow the car, but I wouldn't let my friends borrow my car because I need my car.

Before letting any of them drive it, I would need to take them out first before they took it out on their own, so I could make sure they knew what they were driving first.

 

i would let my close friend borrows it if they have a good reason... but all of them dont know how to drive a stick so...

they wouldnt ask anyways :P

 

You imply that I would lend my car to friends that wouldn't respect it. I can guarantee that when my friends drive my car they respect it. If they ask for it, that means they need a car to go somewhere, and the Z is a car to me. They're not going to drift it or do anything like that. Now if they DO mess it up, no biggie, I'll get it fixed, it won't cost me a cent, and if it's broken I get a new one.

I'm an enthusiast, I love driving. It really actually makes me happy when I can drive a nice car. Why wouldn't I share this with my friends ?

Hell I'd sell both cars in a heartbeat if it meant helping out a friend. That's what true friends are for. I know they'do the same for me.

 

i've let my friend borrow my car several times... as long as they know how to drive it
