Some people just cant drive, period. Some take it to slow and cause accidents instead of being safe and advoiding them. some people drive it like they stole it. Regardless, be wary of who is driving, accidents happen, things are repairable human's are not (in the exteame case's)

I agree with everyone else, don't let others drive your Fbod. People don't take care of stuff that's not theirs.

I used to loan small things like video games and DVD's to my friends but they always came back scratched up on the back. So i just said if you don't want to take care of my stuff then I won't ever loan them to you again.
