Me and my (petrohead) mates work on a couple of principles.
If you help build it you can drive it, but only on the you bend it you fix it principle..

This would be my view. I have only one friend who I consider reasonably competent behind the wheel enough to use this sort of car. And even then
I'd want to be the passenger when he takes it for a spin. Everyone else I know consider themselves a good driver, but in the relative safety of
an understeering tintop with all mod cons. Going back to basics is something I'm nervous about, and it'd be my own car I'm driving!

As above, I too only have one mate who I would consider safe to be let loose with a 7, having driven too many RWD sports cars than I care to remember,
he would be the only person I class as safe as me behind the wheel.
As regards lending goes, my granmother had a great saying " Never a lender or borrower be" for all the reasons that folks have mentioned.

Only lend it to someone if you are quite happy paying to repair it should they damage it.

Both my brothers borrow mine.
Younger brother I know will tool it around but he can afford to replace it if needs be.
The other (my twin) could fix it himself while lending me one of his spare cars and also can afford to replace it. (Or maybe the trike he has just
finished building)
The moral of this story is i'm the only one that can't afford to tool my own car around :-)

There is no such thing as a stupid question.
Just the ones I ask!
