Default Do you let anyone drive your ITR besides yourself?

I saw this thread in the member's corner, and I thought I'd get the opinions of ITR owners as well.

People that I know...

So far only 3 people aside from myself have driven it. However, like Thomas said, if I feel you are a responsible driver and I know you, I'd let you drive it in most cases.

Chris, who hasn't decided yet, but is probably going to teach his roommate(s) how to drive stick.

Haha, you owned that tree. Wish I had a pic of that. No but it did happen about 50 yds away from that tree. I had swapped brake pads (compressed pistons), dudeman didn't know it, didn't check, didn't stop... right into Wai & Donni's cars Thankfully they didn't have much damage.

my car was down for a few months durring the rebuild. a friend of mine never asked twice when i needed to borrow his car, hed just throw me the keys. granted, his car was a bit of a beater, but its the thought that counts, so he has full privlage.

i let my girlfriend drive it also, and shes getting pretty good. trying to convince her to drive the next autoX

My dad, maybe some other R drivers. My gf can't drive stick and I ain't teaching her. I've had some bad experiences with people not 'owning up' to small/medium size damage they caused on previous cars. So now I punish everyone for their dishonesty!!!!!

Most of my friends have no interest in imports. The ones that do I've let drive the car.

U shittin' me right? About the only person who I'd let drive my car would be another ITR or similar handling car owner that I personally knew could drive better than myself. Matt Jensen or Jeff Gayle quickly come to mind. Anyone else? Hell no! U're asking for trouble.
