Alright... who's driving? Thu, 04 November 2004 12:48 Go to next message
This is a question for those who are/have been in a relationship. Who does the driving?

Used to be no-one touched my car except me. However my last relationship was a real battle, my former gf loved to drive & it was always a battle between taking my car or hers, yeah they were both manual. I'll give her credit though, she had a go with my old UC despite the dodgy clutch & lack of power steering.

How she treated the work cars Shocked That's another story Razz

Hmph, relationship or not, NO ONE else drives my car besides me, unless I'm with them when they drive it and they drive it how I want them to. WAY too much time and money invested into my project for someone to just fuck it up by losing control of the beast. Shocked

I do trust other people's driving, but in my car it's just not cricket. No No No


EDIT: depends on whose car we take but I'll usually insist on driving. I'm a driver not a passenger.

I always drive end of story. Its not that I have anything against women driving, I have a thing against anyone bar me driving.


Edit: It probably has to do with her only having got her licence recently, still drives quite rough which frightens the hell out of me sometimes (taking bends at over 60km/h in a very top heavy tarago? scary)

We go in my car, I drive..

We go in Jesse's car, she drives. (unless like joyride she's really tired).

Simple Smile

We have been known to take her car a little bit more often when there may be beers involved at the destination though Wink

if where going somewhere and there is alcohol (pretty much all the time) then she drives .
But if it's down to the shops or whatever then i drive.
Altho seen as though i drink frequently she drives alot and we take her car.
There is a very select few that can drive my car.

with my girlfriend and myself, she'll drive her car if we are going to get a few drinks (she ain't much of a drinker, unlike me Wink ) and most other times we go in my sprinter with me driving.

I don't trust anyone driving my sprinter. since it's got a sports clutch, it can be quite hard for people to adjust. hell, it took me a while before i could master it Smile

I don't really mind who drives, I'm usually a fairly relaxed passenger. And I'm not too stingy about letting others drive the MR2, it's a toy and is meant to be played with.

...but let anyone touch the supra? Over my dead body.

there are 3 other people in the world I trust driving my car. one of them is female (my mum of all people!).

I've got nothing against being a passenger.... never really scared about car crashes.... no fear Razz

I've always driven until I lost my license. 12mths, had it back 1 month, gone again (voluntary surrender until after courts case). Makes me a VERY nervous passenger, but the reward is she tells me my new car can be of my choice (like it was an issue anyway) So bring on the new wagon

my gf only drives when i'm drinking. so yeah she does most of the driving. but she only drives auto so she couldnt drive my cars even if i let her. i gave her a few lessons on manual in my old laser (coz i didnt give a fuk if she crashed it), and since i got the 162 shes asked me a few times and i'm like "ummm, no"
