Why NOT to lend someone your S2000...
First off, I didn't, so my car is safe...ANYWAY, as I'm driving a customer's car around my shop, a kid in a 99 Mustang decides to try and drift his car around the corner. He gets really sideways, and instead of keeping his foot in it and following through, he lets off, over-corrects and smashes into a cement lightpost base. The entire front of the car blows apart in a million pieces, completely totaling the car. Air bags go off, kid is OK. I ask him if he's ok, and he tells me it's his BROTHERS car, which he decided to take for a little spin!

OMFG!!! see that's why I wont let anyone drive my car anymore after I put the
new rims on that was it. What bothers me is I'm always a little nervous to drive
someone else's car, But even If I did I wouldn't pull crap like that!!! I mean you
Don't know the car why try hot dogging ??? I would have to kill the guy . Now
That you mention it this same exact thing happen to a friend of mine. He busted his A$$ off and bought himself a VW Corrado( VR6 ) at the time this was one of the fastest FWD car on the planet . It was brand new he had it for a few weeks let
his brother drive it and he lost control going way to fast down one of the back
roads and totaled it. My buddy was out of a car for a while because he had the
Green with Tan interior so it took a while to find another.
