Not even the wife will drive mine. She doesn't know how to drive a stick, so she got the message loud and clear when I ordered the Manual.

I know thats what gets me so upset. She asked me to get the automatic so she could drive it. She never drives and if she does its just to her moms house so her dad can drool over it. She says she doesn't feel comfortable yet. Guess i'm cool with that want her to be confident driving my black betty around. Not unsure because then she could cut a turn short or too wide.

One of my girlfriends asked me yesterday "when are you gonna let me drive the camaro?" I didn't say a word. This girl just gave her a "not in a million years" looks and a smile. Enough said

My only friend that can drive my car has a Z06 corvette.. If he can't drive my car properly, he shouldn't mind giving me his if my trans is gone. Haha.. We swap cars a lot.

Yup. No one will drive it again.
The worst part about my buddy was he didn't say sorry. I just kept saying how aggressive the clutch is.

Nobody drives my car except for the select few. I always let dad take a shot at any car I have since he shared his cars with me when I was growing up. And my other half gets to drive it too.

1. Them: "lemme drive your car". Me: "Drive these"
2. Them: "lemme hold your keys". Me: "Here you go. There right here in my pocket..." *point*point
3. Them: "lemme drive your car". Me: "If my left leg was amputated in a horrible accident I would push the clutch with the stump on the way to the Hospital until I passed out,- then you could drive."
4. Them: "lemme drive your car". Me "Here. *Begin to hand them over* You might wanna take down my girlfriend's number too...Like this watch? *They've normally dropped their palm by this point.
5. Once every month ask your gf if she is "ready to go learn how to drive stick." Ask a time that is smack dab in the middle of her doings, or immediately after spirited driving with her in the car.
6. Tell your friend Turbo Boost has been kicking in unpredictably and I "Wouldn't want to do that to you".
7. Hold keys out and when jerk off friend gets close enough close a fist and draw back... lol or backhand depending on how you feel.
8. My favorite- You say she's a little tricky to start... Then you do a big smoky burnout (on a private road, track, or closed course -of course ;-) extra points for door open and/or bird flipped.
9. "Tommorow."
10. "My momma said I can't let nobody drive it"
- Basically I treat the notion of someone else driving her preposterous, and respond sarcastically in kind. It discourages future attempts.

The only people who have ever driven my car are my parents
My dad drove a camaro before they bought mine, but never drove mine before me. My moms first time to drive any camaro was the night we brought caroline home.

People have asked but the only response they get is "Let me drive your camaro... oh wait..."

I was expecting a picture of damage but thankfully that wasn't the case! I don't think I've even let my parents back it out of the garage if they need something in there! I would let them, but I don't think I'd let any of my friends drive it!

No one drives mine. Hubby doesn't want to because he has the Vette so baby girl is always safe in my hands.

My mother use to drive my Sentra to go to her doctors appointments and she called me last week saying she needed to go to the doctors but does not want to drive my car yet because it's too new. I'm thinking to myself what in her right mind gives her the idea I would let her drive my car anyway. I took off and took her to the doctor.

I love my baby too much...
you should have kicked him in the nads - that's the human equivalent of grinding gears.
