Girlfriend drive my car, Yes, or NO!!

Let her drive it first on an airfield where she can't do much damage - but get the reward first
Most women couldn`t park a car in an empty airfield let alone drive one. DON`T DO IT!

Well I let mine drive the Evo VII with 380bhp (she kangaroo'd down the road & made me feel sick).
Let her drive the Evo VIII and she stalled it on a major roundabout right in the middle of traffic.
Now I've let her have a quick go in the Scoob & she almost crashed it into a brick wall when I told her 5 times that it was in gear and to keep her foot on the clutch (she stalled it without the handbrake on and almost wasted the front end) - I was getting in the car at the time and the door hit me senseless! Then she couldn't get the key out the ignition!
And she's never managed to get the hang of the idicators being on the opposite side (hence every indication is a windscreen wiper routine ). I rest my case - don't do it!!!!!

Mine drives mine all the time im at work. Got no problems with her init at all. And I know she loves all the attention. And yes, I do check the wheels when she gets home. 50/50, phone a friend, nope, ask scoobynet......

I wouldnt let my girlfriend anyway near mine, her driving scares the life out of me, one hand on the wheel phone in the other and bag of crisps between her legs, one guy even stopped at the lights jumped out and asked if she wanted him 2 open the boot so she could climb in, she gets that close!
NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mine drives mine all the time.I get it at the weekends she keeps it for work in the week.Now i was going to say there is no problem and there wasn't up until last night when she came home and informed me that she had a falling out with a kerb,needs a referb now but hey these things happen.To be honest i would trust my girl to drive mine over most of my mates.She just treats it as a normal car and everythings fine.

My Girlfriend is out in mine at this very moment she drove her and her mate to the bier garden to meet up with some collegues.
Stop being a bunch of wusses she is just as likely to crash it as you Richard burns wannabees!!

I think the No's are winning!
Scoob_Babe - I think you pretty much summed up my view!
ScoobySi - Careful mate you might get to meet her one day
Magepaster - the exhaust is too big even for me
When we're in the throws of passion and she asks (a frequent occurance ) its always a yes ! YES ! Afterwards when i'm sparking up I always seem to change my mind....

I've definately had this problem n its almost caused major arguements between me n my girlfriend. I've let her drive with me there but have said NO to her taking it to work on her own. She just cannot understand why, keeps tellin me its only a car!!

My wife drives mine.
Every bit of cosmetic damage on the car is down to her:
Key scratches "cause i had my heavy handbag over my arm when i opened the boot and the key just slipped (4 inch scratch)
Rear bumper scratch "i must have reversed into a bush"
Interior trim "my m8 was doing up her stilettos with her foot on the dash" ???
Front Bumper "i thought i was reversing straight out of garage when i heard a strange noise" - she'd stripped 6 inches of paint against frame of metal garage door.
The list goes on...
If your prepared for your car to get mullered... go for it....
I have no choice...

Fiancee has only driven the scoob a couple of times - she's terrified of the turbo!
Doesn't normally drive it, however, when drunk and stuck on a taxi-less street on Friday night I didn't have much choice...

I wouldn't even consider letting the girlfriend drive. Fortunately I don't have to decide since she hasn't passed her test yet
Why doesn't she get her own or go with the "you bend it you mend it" philosophy?
Never found outy the exact nature of the favour btw?!
