Who won't let anyone drive your EVO?
Alright I don't have one yet but I have a good friend who is buying an s2000, he can't drive stick for SH** right now but he asked me even when he becomes a master at it if I'd let him drive my EVO when I get it, I said nope... simply, nope. He got all offended as if I was just one of those punks that doesn't let anyone drive just because it's MINE. I told him if it were any other car then yes but with all the important/expensive things that can break when someone who isn't used to this type of car that I had a case, he acts like I am saying no just because I can say no and be a snob. Who is allowed to drive YOUR car and am I really a douche bag as he says?

I used to be exactly like that with a previous car I owned. But then an extended family member threw me the keys to his ferrari, and I realized how insane I was being. I figured if he could trust me with a ferrari, I could start trust friends with my car.
I still will only let people drive that I know can drive stick well, won't screw me over if they do break something, and I'm with them. I haven't had a problem with my good friends driving my cars, and I've gotten to drive some sweet rides in return (college roommate is getting a new z06 soon) sometimes karma is a good thing too!

I let the GF drive the Evo, and a few close friends who also trust me with their tuned cars (typically other AWD turbo cars). This is only a once-in-a-while occasion though.

I've tried to teach my GF to drive on my car, hasn't gone very well but whatever. Also I only let friends drive my car on the highway during long trips back and forth to college and home.
Aside from that, no one drives it.

My immediate family who know how to drive standard and a few close friends who all have their own tuned cars and a sense of responsibility are the only ones I let drive it.
