Default Would you?
My buddies car broke down tonite and he needs a way to get to work and school. I let him borrow my Trans Am and told him id drive my truck as its out of inspection and i dont want him getting pulled over in it. I completly trust him and i know if he breaks it he will fix it but im still kinda nervous. So.... would yall let someone borrow your baby for a few days or would you say **** that?

Not a chance. I don't even let my dad drive my baby. I don't want to chance my friend getting in a wreck in my car and possibly losing a friend over it.

hell no. i dropped a chick off in her driveway one night, my friend was in the backseat, drunk, stupid me i left the car running, so he jumped in the driver seat and took off down the street. I was stunned and speechless.. I heard him peeling out and racing down the neighborhood streets. I practically killed him when he got back. Car smelled like burned rubber......

so.. again... don't do it man unless he's a nerdy kind of guy

I trust him with it and i know he would do the same **** for me plus he spends just as much time turning wrenches on my vehicles as i do. Hopefully it turns out well....I have a cam to be ordering soon.

Let him borrow your truck, and you take the bird.

It's a Mopar truck, so nothing to lose. jk.

HELL NO! Just let him roll your truck, if he gets a ticket, you can get them dismissed by getting the stickers renewed & a $10 court fee (unless it's changed).

Depends on who it is, but yes there are a few of my friends that can came and take the Cobra pretty much whenever. Just the other day I lent it to one of my buddies and his girlfriend for the day just so they could have a vert to take to Galveston. I was practically begging them to take it. So it just depends on how much you trust the person really. If you think they are responsible enough then **** it let them take it.

No I don't care who it is. Family, friend what ever the answer is no to borrowing the Z. Now they may drive the Accord or the Trailblazer.

Nah they fine you the full amount now. If it is 6 months or more I have heard of vehicles being impounded, but I can't attest to that.
