Your logic is flawed. In the ridiculous scenario you laid out one must keep the foreign sports car. You are not allowed to sell it.

I'd take my truck over either of them cars.

My wife can drive my truck, she hates it. Thinks its to big and is afraid some thing will happen to it and my OCD *** will lose it. She dose not like parking it, says the spaces are to small. She is a great driver it others I worry about, people backing into you or smacking a grocery cart into it. Or just crashing into you.

Now the guys at work, for most he'll no, I drive my bosses work van and take good care of it, it may be messy inside but if some thing happens to it and I do it, I fix it. Here is a small list of things they have done to it, ripped of the door handle(inside pass), backed it along the side a golf cart, drove it through a parking garage made for small cars(scraped the $h1t out of the top) just to list a few. I would not let the main perp drive it but he is the son in law. So as long as he is willing to tell "dad" he messed it up. I really can't tell him he can't drive the work van. But I look at most of there rides work vans and personal no way........


My big rule for driving/borrowing my truck you wreck it, total it! I don't want to drive any thing that has had any thing more then minor bumper damage, bent frames or messed drive train, just can't IMHO ever be right again.

Our truck is hers! :-) That said, I let her drive my 600 rwhp C6ZO6...! (see sig) It's just a vehicle.

Hi everyone this is my first post!

I don't have my truck yet...next year I get to buy my F150 Platinum and I think I will drive it myself for the first month or so...I don't worry about my wife driving it because I know she is a good driver. Besides if she wanted to trade for the day I would get to drive this!

Nobody drives my truck but me. However, I'm not married yet. I do have many friends and everyone I've been in a relationship want me to drive their vehicles (with them riding along). When I have done so, I've been ultra-considerate of their vehicle. I drive even more carefully, and I make sure to treat their vehicle with the utmost respect. I did mess up an ex's brand new tire one day running over, ironically enough, a can of fix-a-flat in a parking lot that I couldn't see. Luckily it did not puncture the tire because the tread was so deep, and there was no harm done. However, if I had caused damage, I would have immediately paid for a fix or replacement.

Immediately about seeing your pics OP, I said "ouch!" You are in a partnership with this woman, so y'all should be able to sit down together and have a respectful conversation regarding this matter. It comes down to be more careful/respectful, or please don't drive my vehicle. Since she has her own vehicle and you are continuing to help her keep up the maintenance, this should not be an problematic conversation/issue if approached respectfully.

I should add that I took this thread for what the original post was about vs the thread title. In other words, I took the thread to mean letting a bad, inconsiderate driver drive your vehicle vs. the topic of letting your wife/husband drive your vehicle. They are two different subjects.
