I just wanted to get some opinions on this issue. Now I don't want to go off on a rant here, but say you have put alot of time and money into your Z and your g/f who has only driven a stick one time in her life asks to drive your Z. How would you reply? Now this is being between a rock and a hard place. Apparently, not letting her drive the Z means the Z is more important than she is which according to her is a bad thing in the relationship. And not being no. 1 in the relationship is a potential cause for a break up as well. But, letting her drive might mean thousands of dollars for a burnt clutch or other maintenence. Why do girls have to be so difficult? But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

 

Same thing, before I put my rims and turbo on, I would have. But now I might let her drive if I take my rims off, but I'm worried she might lose control when the turbo kicks in.

 

Letting her drive or not drive has nothing to do about how u feel toward her, that's just a load of crock that women like to pull on us to "test" us. Honestly, who in their right mind would let a person that drove stick ONCE to drive their car? I don't care if she's like Carmen Electra, bottom line is: If she can't drive the thing... DONT let her drive it. It's not that you care more about the car, it's the basic principle - would you let a kid handle a basket w/ eggs or a basket w/ apples?

 

If she does not know how to drive a stick... nope…

But if she knows how to drive a stick and understands how much you care about your car... I assume she would respect it appropriately and I would not have a problem with it.

 

I let wifey drive my G, its just a car...

Everything has its price.

 

Depends on the surroundings.

It all depends on how much I trust that person with my car, be it g/f or the guy who saved my life.

For me, this question is similar to "would you trust him/her with your handgun?".

 

I don't have a girlfriend. Thanks for making me feel like shet.

 

no and my GF owns a Z! Chicks need to realize you saying no doesnt mean you care more about the car or dont trust them-somethings should just be left to the men-she needs to respect your space, your hobby, your passion. And by respect, I mean not drive it

i would teach her how to drive stick on another car first especially with a supercharger in your car man. tell her when she learns how to drive stick on another car you will let her without even a doubt in your mind but you you would only feel comfortable letting her drive it after she knows how to drive stick. you need to spin the story towards what your comfortable with and keep it simple and short. make sure she knows that you will let her after she learns though that way she has no argument accept that shes impatient.
