Scaaaaaary!!!!!

I've let 3 people from this board drive my sti and if any one of them would've done that in mine they wouldn't be alive.

 

I've had a couple of experiences like that, one while I was driving (3 years ago), and a couple from when my friends have been driving. My car scares a lot of people in first gear comin through or out of a corner. The lag that my car has gets a lot of people too. They step on the gas and since they dont get an initial response they step harder and then wham, boost comes on and they left of quickly and and hey what do you know, another CEL saying my throttle is fubared. Ohwell, they are learning but once my new turbo comes, no one but me will be drivin my baby.

 

hmmm the only kinda sacary thing i can think of was the 2nd time i drove stick, in Dupes car. sitting stopped in a empty culldasac, give it some gas and let the clutch out. i really dont know what happen but the car lurked hard core. not bad nioises or anything just one helluva lurch. that was kinda scary. nothign bad happened though.

Other than that i seldom drive others cars, and when i do i dont do anything stupid, and overall treat it better then i treat my own car. also i have let a few people drive my car, and they havent done anything stupid (that i know of). I on the other hand have done some stupid things in my own car :-(

 

I have let a few of my friends drive my car. But its only the people who are not stupid. I dont mind if my friends drive it agressivly but dropping the clutch a 5000 rps. I would kick there ass for being stupid. Thats just pointless abuse.

 

yea..i did...first time i got my wagon...went to LVT's house to show it off..lol..but i said he could test drive it..but i dont have insurance yet...so...he did...and scared teh living crap out of me...he heel & toed it around soo many corners that got me scared...cause i didn't know that he was going to "test drive" it like that...but then after that...i barely let anyone drive it now...well..now..since its modded even more and more dangerous to drive, to the inexperience one, i dont let anyone else drive it...almost not even the guy SSUUBBAARRUU, cause he dont really know how to drive my car...lol....cause with the light weight flywheel most average drivers would think that the shifts would still be the same...but nope! its totally different..but thats my story

If they can't pay for what they're going to break, then nope.
I know the way my friends drive. I wouldn't let most of them drive it.
I do let my brothers drive my car, that's because they and I treat all things well with respect. I let a few other people drive my car, but it's the people who I know how to drive well....I don't let some little kid drive it.

After I get my swap running, I'm not going to let the fools drive it though. Only peopel who know how to function a car properly are granted such a privaledge.

 

on my 17th b-day (long time ago), a friend drove my buick century t-type right off of a t in the road und into a phone pole at about 45...so that pretty much sucked.

 

I had my fiance stall my car 6 times in a row at a stop sign, then pulled away only to turn into the driveway and stall again, and my friend drove it home for fun, i was tired in the pass seat-he starts freakin out":the car is shaking like crazy what the **** is wrong with ur car??" he then discovers the parking brake light was on :eek4: 'dumb ass'

 

Let other people drive your car? What do you mean? Why?
I hardly ever let anybody drive my cars. Pretty much only if I'm drunk and the occasional good friend.

 

My roommate has had several Chevy Trailblazers which obviously are rear wheel drive... Occasionally we got out and have some beers :cheers: and he had a few too many, so I got to drive the beast home since I only had a couple! This was a while back and I hadn't had too much experience with rear wheel drive, but I was excited for the idea of a little play in the snow!

I decide to gun it a bit around a corner at a stop light to kick the a** end out a bit... Well it is safe to say that I nearly shat myself as we spun completely sideways! As I corrected it, I actually over-corrected and nearly shat myself again, then, whammo! We had spun around completely the other direction nearly taking out a road sign in the center median and just bounced off of the curb of the median, before stopping!!! There wasn't any damage luckily... Heart pounding he looks at me with the look of "What the hell were you thinking jacka**!"

Safe to say I drive his truck like a grandma now, and there will be NO more "gunning it" around corners in snow, unless 4-wheel drive is ingaged!!!

Other than that, nobody really drives my Subi but me, and when my roommates occasionally do, they treat it with respect!
