I only let my father drive my car when he's in town, and my close friend who respects cars the same as I do. I let a buddy at work drive it cause he begged me for days on end. He's a muscle car freak so he thought he would mash the gears and basically beat the ever loving **** out of it shifting like a fool. I was in the passenger seat and flipped out so bad he had to pull over and let me drive. Never again.

My father and I are the only two I'll let drive it.

Or someone else who has an evo - because I believe they will be able to respect it as I do.

I wont even let my fiancee drive it. :P

Let them know...Transfer case $2000-3000, clutch w/ labor $900, and transmission $4000...if they still feel like driving and have the check book ready...go for it.
I just say no, only say it one time...grow some ***** ...also...if they don't get it on the first no, ask them, "can i sleep w/ your wife or girlfriend?"

That's called being taken advantage of.

I'd rather be an a$$hole with an Evo than a nice guy with a friend that wrecked my car.

I only let my wife drive it. I taught her to drive stick on it. I needed her to drive it while I was deployed to make sure it would stay good to go.
