Would you let another guy take you're girlfriend/missus out?

LOL I had this argument with a mate who wanted to use my 260RS for a quick trip up the road.

He asked if he could borrow my ride. I said NO! and he was cut. Until I asked him the above - Would you let another guy take your girlfriend out? LOL

So am I alone in this? Do you let mates/friends use your wheels?

He says I have a problem. Damn straight I do. Just as I would never let another guy take out my girl, you've got the same chance of taking out my wheels.

:(

It really depends for me - if my friends own equally nice cars (or at least take care of their cars) and they would lend them to me if I needed, then I would consider it.

Granted, it would have to be someone I knew well, or at least absolutely know for sure that they were trust-worthy.

There are quite a few friends and relatives that I have no hesitation in letting drive my car, and others that I know equally well who I refuse to let drive my car! In fact, with one of my best friends, I've offered to let him drive on a number of occasions, and a few weeks ago when we were out delivering something to another friend of mine, he asked me for the keys, and I gave them to him without hesitation. It's an extreme rarity that I let someone drive my car if they ask me for a run in it.

Hell no. I never let any of my girlfriends drive my wife.

Only myself and my tuner is allowed to drive mine.. not even my dad is allowed :) Harsh if you ask me, but I dont trust his driving.

kidafa drives mine a bit n vis versa... if he had a crash i know what my hire car would be :) lol nicly modded s1 :)

then again the pussy footing he did in the 260 i dnt think he coulda crashed it!

The boy drives my car but he's the only one other than me. Unless it's someone I really trust, or like the others have said drive a car of similar standard then no-one drives it but us. It's just not worth the hassle if something goes wrong. You know what it's like when bad things happen between friends... Even when it's a genuine accident, that kind of stuff NEVER ends well :)

My close mates. .yes, but they are all over 30 and drive GTR's, Evo's STI's etc. .

When needed they throw the keys no questions. .

Randoms and wannabes. . hell no.

The ex girlfriend. The answer was always no. Can i take her to the coast... no Girl in car = mess in car. Etc etc. Maybe i was being unreasanable but f**k me, the car was much more important and i give it more attention then any female.

Friends, no. Best mate, yes but like goldzilla, its similar circumstances.

I've only ever let my gf and my mechanic drive my car (she's on here though, owned an R33 and now a Onevia) and only a select few times when I was in the passenger seat. Even then she didn't drive very fast because she was scared of scratching my perfect wheels, good girl! :D

My brother has asked many times, and every time the answer has been no.

As for my folks I think both my mum and dad would have trouble getting in and out of the Bride seat, lol!

i've let a couple of my mates drive my 31 but i thrash that worse than they ever could and its the gf's car now so i dont really care too much about it

i let me gf drive my 32 a couple of times, i was in the car for most of them and she needed it to get to work once. i was more worried about where it was parked than her driving it

she hasn't driven the stag yet tho even though the insurance agreed to cover her too (for no extra fee cos i told them it was my car and she would rarely drive it)

both my parents want a go in the stag too but they will have to wait till i get back (currently in south africa and they let me put it in the garage so i kinda owe them for that)

i dont think may ppl will get a go in the stag, not untill the novalty wears off but thats gonna take a long time :D

LOL.......nup.....now way never....don't even like letting my wife drive my car.

On that subject.....years ago I had a Giocattalo(had 450hp ATW's).....anyways was at Wakefield park and this random guy(turned out to be an instructor) came up and tried to tell me he was taking my car for a couple of laps(thats right didn't ask....told me).......anyway I asked what he had at the track....his answer a VR SS Commodore...so I said fine....but give me the key's to your VR SS.....his answer no......Wont tell you my answer back to him but it was colourful!!!!....moron.

P.S. Like your avatar pic willL

the best quote ever "you aren't insured for my car"!

i would kindly lend MY missus if they were willing to lend their missus ;) .... eye for an eye.

(but she'd have to be of equal value / quality ) haha

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
