Default That's the last time...

I let someone else drive my car unless I know they can drive a stick well.

People seeing a new car are usually interested in taking a drive. I usually offer to let them drive my car rather than just be a passive passenger. But I always ask if they can drive a stick before letting them behind the wheel. Most, even if they can drive a stick, decline (as I would).

So yesterday a co-worker wants to go for a ride. Says she can drive stick, I let her drive.

Oh my God! She was searching for gears like a blind dog with no sense of smell trying to find a bone. Then she revs to redline in 2nd, later she's shifts into 4th going 30mph. WTF!!!!

No more! Only my wife and other enthusiasts.

Default My good frineds dad took his X5 without permission.......

to take a video back to the store. He hit someone on the way there and scuffed the **** out of the front bumper. Its textured plastic and the only way to fix it is to get a whole new front body peice. Thats why I always say hide the keys, even from family.

Default My wife has my car today. I just got it on Tuesday.

She is great at what she does, but she cannot drive for ****e. I told her not to come home if there is even a scratch on it.
