Let a GOOD friend that you TRUST, drive your car down the street so you could physically see how your car looks/sounds when coming down the road??

The other day I had to let one of my Soldiers drive my car to the shop to get my springs installed while I drove a rental. I was shocked to see how my car looks coming down the road!! It has such a commanding presence and stance!!

I let my gf drive it sometimes just so I can admire the car from an outside perspective.

My s/o.

We're also renting an SS whilst in Los Angeles this weekend so he's free to beat the shit out of it too.

No, and I don't think that will ever change.

AdamZ · 04-28-2012, 04:13 PM

I let a fellow police officer drive it in the department parking lot. Other than that hell nah ain't no one touching my whip.

I let my GF drive it right after I got it. I was behind her in my truck. We were at a red light and she was showing off and floored it. There was a cop on the other side of the light just sitting....got her for 50 in a 30.

I had it for 2 days. The cop just gave her a warning and said...is it a 2012? She said yes, and he raised his hands up and said, "I am not going to touch it and smiled". I had pulled over in front of her in case there were any issues. He didn't run the temporary plate, just gave her a written warning and off we went.

She doesn't really want to drive it anymore. She said, she didn't want to drive it until I put the first ding in it....guess she isn't going to drive it for a long time!

What kind of stripes did you decide to go with?

dkp2LT · 04-28-2012, 04:27 PM

Nope. I will never tell my wife she can't because that is a huge receipe for disaster, but I am lucky she doesn't want to.

Have you ever noticed whenever you sit in the passenger side of your OWN car, it "feels" different?? I understand not controlling the car, but the way the car rides feels totally different to me.

ActNup NY · 04-28-2012, 04:42 PM

i agree !! I dont think I can bare to let anyone touch my car. Call me crazy !!! That's just me.

SnowVert · 04-28-2012, 05:09 PM

I have let my dad drive mine. And of course he loved it. I also let Fiveg56 drive it as I know he can handle cars fine. Now I just need to convince him to let me drive his LFX. I'm just curious how big the difference really is.

Although, I think he may believe I'm trying to convert him...
