If your wife is on this forum, you are defintely getting some tonight.

 

Some awesome posts...keep it coming lol.

Here's my story. I asked some girl (my client) out a few weeks ago. After dinner and movie she ask if she can test drive the G. So I let her thinking it's late at night, no car around and nothing gonna happen. Everything was going great, I must of over worried myself too much, next thing she made a right turn hitting the curve...I was like "Fawkkkk..." I didn't really say it out loud but I was pretty dam pissed off and oh "devasted" inside just wanting to punch her in the face lol! I didn't wanna make such a big deal out of it but it was pretty dam big lol. Then when she got to the house, I had to carry all of her stuff in, I told her "I got it" she throws it all on the ground then picks it up placing it on my hood with all these small little pebles sticking bottom of the box. I didn't really see because I was getting some more of her stuff in the trunk. Instead of lifting the box up, she start sliding it...I didn't really noticed until i got home checking out the wheels then i start to noticed the small little scratches on the hood.... only had my car less than a month...got nothing out of it...I'm taking her out this weekend....for sure I'll get something out of it !!! peice out!

 

*cough*bullsh***cough*....'xcuse me... J/K.

True, and I'm a good example of not driving the G as careful as I should have. I accidently scrape the bottom of the bumper going over those concrete parking stoppers. You can't really see it unless you look low enough but I was pretty mad at myself for that. Yes, I'm a guy but it just goes to show you that these cars aren't easy to drive if you haven't driven one like it before.

For now, all I need to do is get a front lip and it'll cover up the scratches. I'm actually waiting on the Lip because I want to see if I will scratch it with normal driving and daily errands. This way, I know where to avoid and such.

 

Once you get the lip, you know you have to be flawless in your parking methods right?

 

good read

 

this is one of the funniest posts ive read in a long time, but mainly because alot of it is so true. so here is my story.
ive never let a gf drive my car. ever. a friend of mine jumped in the front seat one time and drove it around the parking structure at the Mirage... i was soooo mad i coulda hit(but i didnt). but i also feel the same way about letting girls drive me in their car. im a senior in highschool and the only girl that has driven me around was my mom. but one day going to lunch i figured i'd let my best friend, who is a girl, drive us. it was a 05 nissan altima and i was sitting in the back right window seat while her and her friend were sitting in the front seats( this felt so very very wrong from the beginning). well, we got to mcdonalds safe and sounds, so i took a gasp of relief(btw shes had her liscense for a couple weeks, so shes not that experienced) but on the way back, we were 1 turn away from school and she pulls out in front of oncoming traffic... well i must say, time has never moved so slow for me as i watched that old cadillac sedan come skidding into my door. luckily, the car just missed my door and hit the back of the car! wellll, my first thought was to scream "you f*ckin b*tch! you almost killed me!" but being that she is my best friend and all, i didnt say anything, and that turned out to be a really good idea, cause later she broke out into tears and cried on my shoulder(it was a dramatic day). soooo, i havent let any girl drive me since and i dont plan on letting any of them driving me either. this also supports why i wont let any girl drive my car.

 

haha, when my ex-girlfriend just got her licsense,and i let her pratice in my G in ny local street! ! ! !

 

well, all i can say is your a braver man than I.

 

Yeah I also plan on the Gialla or INGS lip too and noticed they are a bit lower than the OEM. I will be parking like 2 feet away from those damn parking concrete blocks! They are evil!!

 

I have to agree with you Finiti bigtime! I think that one of the most important things involved in trust is assessing someone's abilities as well as giving them the chance to prove themselves (rent a standard for the weekend and go nuts heheheh).

These trust issues develop as the relationship evolves so it depends at what point you are in the relationship. This is where the assessment comes in. Eg. If I just met girl and she wants to drive my car, it's up to me to assess whether or not she is capable at that point of driving my car without damaging it and I would expect for her to do the same with me. But this goes for anyone. For me this isn't a gender or 'girlfriend/partner' related issue. I wouldn't let my best friend drive the car or my brother or my sister if I didn't agree with their driving habits and if they weren't aware of the difficulties/saftety problems of driving my car.

Now if I was married or in a relationship and didn't like the way my wife or partner drove, this would be handled much differently. But it would be handled the same way any other issue or problem would be handled. Identify the 'problem/issue', express how I feel about it, discuss it and work on it together. Problem solved. And if you can't get past the issues good luck. The car is just one of many potential issues to come
