None of my friends can drive a manual, so my car is safe.
I hate driving other people's cars. Even my parents'. Certain 'friends' don't seem to trust me with anything - I have no idea why, so I even missed out on driving the Mustang that we all paid to hire in Hawaii recently. Friend's PITA boyfriend got to do it instead, as the other girls were too scared. Then he spent the rest of the holiday gloating about it to annoy me. My best friend of 20+ years often gets me to drive her car, usually because she's falling asleep after working a 14 hour shift, or just has no idea how to get to where we're going. She added me as a second driver on her insurance a few years ago. The first lot of friends couldn't believe it when we turned up for a trip to the beach with me driving the Echo. (It was slightly embarrassing). When they asked about it, she said that she has no problem with me driving it, because I drive much bigger vehicles for a living, and I'm a better driver than she is anyway.

I asked my mate to drive my car (XE Falcon) back home when I bought my current car. On the right hand kink from Kings Way to Queens Rd near the city (Melbourne), I looked back to see the tail out, in the wet on the XE at 50km/h.
He hasn't driven my current car.

Close friends wouldnt bother me. Ive driven mates 11sec RX7 home in rain from Rocky as he was to wrecked to drive.
He needed a car for the day while he sorted out his car loan for new car so i gave him keys to my little ute i had at time as i wasnt using it. Dropped it home with a tank of fuel in it even though he would have used $3 worth of fuel. If at a party and need to go out to pick up booze/pizza and my car is last in driveway i dont mind if sober mate takes it.

Yes. I've driven my Mate's cars, and they've driven mine. It has been the same for as long as we've had cars and licenses.
Borrowing them, without the Mates there, however is another matter. None of us have lent or borrowed cars, we've just driven them with the owner in the passenger seat.

The good thing about having a manual is most of my mates can't drive one. I have driven their cars before, but it's not often I do. I have let one drive my car, but only when I was in it. I would NEVER lend it if I wasn't in the car.

My mates always let me drive their cars, but none of them are game to drive mine!! LOL.
Must be because they know how much I care about my cars, and that im a pretty capable driver. |

Anyone can drive any of my cars, all they have to do is hold a license and ask.
