dont let people drive...
 
your car.. cuz they just dont treat it like it's theirs, the 3 scrapes/breaks on my car are held responsible by 3 of my best friends who all have NICE cars.. lexus GS350 and an Evo8 and everytime one of them drives my car.. something happens..

and finally

hope that will not happen next time

So after the first time, there was a second time, and then a third time ... :rolleyes:

I'd say something but don't want to appear distressful. So how about some pictures of the fat lips, missing teeth, and broken bones on your friends?

i'd take ur friends evo8 and launch it at 6000 rpms and see how he likes it!

zand02max 01-13-2007 04:26 PM

MAN, I don't even let my wife drive my ZR!

:icon8: :icon8:

good point but all they would have to do is deny it and since there was no police report i don't think their ins. company would do dick if they denied it!

!! HAHAH
Seriously man, dont let people drive your Z. None of my friends of 26 years have... I know better, lol.

stein 01-13-2007 05:15 PM

Other people will never respect your car as much as you do. I don't let anyone other than the wife drive the z, and that is like once every 3-4 months.

I'll only let my dad drive it to help take it to get work done to it. But he wont let me drive his corvette.

+1

thats what I would do. Then if he would talk $hit I would just kick his a$$.

If they dont respect your car - they clearly dont respect you.

md350 01-13-2007 06:07 PM

I never let anyone drive my Z and likely never will. I don't even let family members back it out of the driveway and park it in the street.

he does it like everyday, his clutch is burnt

kayfuNk 01-13-2007 06:17 PM

lol it's a car, not worth a friendhip, plus it's just $800 front lip.. it's not CHEAP but if they say they'll replace it i believe them, and 2nd my best friends ( the only 3) are the ones that drive my car other than me, but if it was totaled you better believe id go through insurance in a heartbeat.


it's not that they dont respect my car either, they all love my car, it's just they dont baby it as much as they would baby theirs.. they obviously misjudged how low my car is to certain things and how long it is meaning they tried to pull too far into a parking spot, and the front left lip was done because of that.

Do you think you could take a closer picture?

One person has driven my car... and I was sitting right next to him.

kayfuNk 01-13-2007 06:28 PM

it's funny i try to make sure im int he car everytime someone drives my car.. and the 3 times i trusted my friends to let them drive it when i wasnt around, they ****ed up, lol.

michaeljr6 01-13-2007 06:29 PM

ouch....

roast 01-13-2007 06:33 PM

Not being in the car, and it's a given what will happen. It's their one chance to let loose (in a car they aren't familiar with) and they're going to take it... even if they don't let loose they still arent familiar with the car and the likeliness that they mess something up is very high. The friend I let drive my car is also a professional driver like me so I wasn't worried about him wrecking, but the car was still in the break-in period so I made sure he couldn't beat on it.

Jay'Z 01-13-2007 06:35 PM

dont let friends who cant pay for your car in cash right that second borrow your car.. thats my rule of thumb.. which leads to zero car loans......
