POLL: Who do you let drive your Maxima?

I used to let a lot of people drive mine if they had something interesting to trade. Now that it is lowered with 17's, it's a little too delicate to just hand off to anyone. Now, my dad drives it when I see him (he's interested in the upgrades), my best friend has driven it (he's used to modded cars), and I would let my GF drive it, but I think she's afraid of it. Just want to see how protective everyone here is. I saw a similar poll on the A4 forum one time, and none of them would let anybody drive their cars.

I would....
let my gf, dad, brother-in-law drive my Max..no one else.
So far only my dad and brother-in-law have driven it.
I would never let any of my friends drive it no matter how experienced they are.
That's my input.

The ONLY person who drives it other than me is my wife.
Oh I bought the car when it had 4.5 miles so I guess dealer did not test drive it before I bought it either.

Not too many...
I let my dad drive it when ever he wants to... My brother on occasions, my mom on occasions (only if my dad is next to her) I do let some of my friends drive it a lot of times, but only when I am in the car next to them to make sure they don't do stupid sh*t and don't drive fast on rough roads. Ofcourse I do let my mechanic drive it as well, like after my tranny rebuilt or something like that.
One kind of people you really shouldn't give your car to, is if you are going to a restaraunt or some party and there is valet parking, I would NEVER let them park it, I rather do it myself and walk a little. I got a few friends that work in Valet Parking, they beat on the cars in the worst way, burnouts, neutral drops etc...
damn! I gotta get me a valet parking job

I never let anyone drive my old SkyBlue max... Not even parents or brother. The only people that gets to drive my max are my team mates from my car club... they are the only one's I trust cuz half the time they let me drive their modded cars and they are always working on my max. With my new Pearl White max.. I really don't care who drives it.. as long as they know how to drive stick.

I let my best friends drive mine, but I never let females drive it.
Even if I have a girlfriend, I'm not gonna let her drive my Max. I dont trust girls.
And during mornings, when the car has sat in the freezing temperature overnight and the engine is cold, NOBODY drives it except me. But as soon as the engine's warmed up, I drive my car hard.

I'll let any one of U guys drive my car B4 I let a mechanic drive it, the catch is that I'm in the car, No Hot Doggin, No peelouts, and No Ebreaks. I let a few people drive it at Maxus. Ming (MAC) Chad (DEATHWISH) wanted to see if my clutch felt normal to them. as far as who else, Well I'ld like my GF to drive it but she doesn't like to unless I really get on my knees and beg, she is to afread of the car. as far as girls can't drive worth of ****. man lately I think there are more women aggressive drivers then men, Boy but honestly I love to kick their asses when they get on my tail. they can drive fast but most don't have much control.
A Doller a pop, anyone can drive my car for $1 for 1 mile
at the next meet

hmm...Before my car was modded, I let my dad and bro drive it but the max would always come back with an ouchie. Now, the only person what I will let drive him is Kevin and I still get scared everytime I let him drive it.
My motto is: you can sit in the car, look at the car, help clean the car...but you're not going to drive the car
btw, not all women are bad drivers.

How fitting a question, since my manager wrecked her husband's 94 max yesterday. Ouch!!! The only people who have driven mine was a close friend on the return leg (for 3 hours) on a Houston-Lubbuck trip (1,000 miles round trip) ,and my father when I had to rent a moving truck to move in to a house. After all, he did teach me how to drive a stick on a Datsun 510 hatchback way back when.
