I'm not sure I'd let a sibling drive mine. I'm an only child, but I don't think I'd let my wife drive it. She don't know how to drive stick, so I might keep it that way. If we end up going somewhere where I may be drinking, we take her car so she could drive home if need be.

Good luck fixing your car.
