I'm flattered but should I bite?
 

I walked to my car after work and noticed a paper slip on my windshield. I immediately thought I got a ticket but when I read it, I'll admit I smiled. Our employee parking lot is actually shared with a local soccer field where a lotta teens have their games.

This kid basically wants to borrow my car for his senior prom and as much as I would love to, no way in hell will I lend a $30,000 to a teenager. I feel bad having to say no. I'll probably invite him to drive my car around WITH me in the passenger though. But I was curious to hear what you guys think or what you would do.

LOL H-hellll noooo! I hardly let anyone touch my car let alone someone I don't know in high school who may be some reckless dude.

Um... NO!

If I knew the kid I'd let him. After talking to his parents and getting him daily insurance for that day..
But total stranger ? Not gonna happen!

All kinds of nope

Offer to take him for a ride since he likes it, I wouldn't let him drive

depends if his date gives good head

That has to be a joke

:happy0180:

thx you kindly, but no

Oh come on guys, what's the worst that could happen?

Sure, go ahead. Make his day.

kid's hopin' YOU will bite!.. (lol!) offer him a ride!
give 'em a thrill! no drivin'

"Can I borrow it for this weekend?"

I would not even lend it to him even if he paid for rental; not to a stranger teenager anyways... Go work for your own car kid! Or use your parent's Corolla!

I would let him rent it for $30,000/day, min 1 day rental

You'd be stupid to let him borrow it without insurance. Kid's got balls for asking, but seriously??

LOL, you forgot the neons! :happy0180:

Quasimoto says: "I'll probably invite him to drive my car around WITH me in the passenger though".

YOU got me wondering, PROBABLY? Does he already have a date? Are you a member of the gay community? That's OK - just take him to the prom.:lol::drool:

Is he over 18? If not, you could get in some serious legal trouble loaning a car or being in the car with a minor. Do you know if he even has a valid license? Are there driving restrictions for kids his age? If I knew him or the parents that would be one thing, but I would never let a stranger drive my car.

This is a bad idea.

Lmao thats crazy! No way i would do that, but offering a ride is eh. But still a lot of work to show up and look for this kid. You don't even know him (i think) plus letting him borrow the car? Pft i'd imagine:

What if the note-writer is an eighteen year old female cutie and saw you drive up at an earlier time? Maybe she is looking for an an 'older' date with maturity, good looks, cash and, of course, a nice car? maybe you should call. Just use all of the aforementioned advice.

Kool.

"I yanked, I um yanked the thing"
"I just wanted to do bad things"
Did you know you could kill someone? - "Yes but I wanted to do hoo-rah things with my friend"

My question: Where is Dad???

Handwriting looks like female's.

Call.

Lol he says "I like to do hootrat things with my friends"

Or she could be under 18 and the OP could end up in jail.

This.

I would smile, trash the note and not give a second thought to it.

Here's the thing. The letter was either written by a female, or a male with impeccable penmanship.

If it's the former, she probably has a date, and since you have a BRZ, it's probably standard (mirite) so he/she probably can't drive it to begin with. Said possible date probably can't drive it either (assuming). Call in good nature and explain that, they'll probably say "aww shucks" and you can always offer them a casual (read: spirited) ride to make their day.

If the latter, the young boy is probably fairly neat and tidy given the hand writing. If his penmanship was messy it translates to lifestyle as well.

Karma will reward you eventually.

Too funny lol

hell no, i barely let my little cousin that's in highschool drive my car... thats family and he knows how to drive standard very well...

no wayyyyyy

You guys are brutal. I would probably do it. I lent my Z06 to a buddy for his wedding. I also borrowed a buddies Benz for my sister's wedding. Remember it is only a car, and if it would bring the kid joy then why not.

keep in mind the people that you have been lending to have been people that you know and trust... Will you trust a complete strange with your car without you there for a whole day?

i wouldn't mind giving him a ride to prom :thumbsup:

I am a very trusting person, so until I am given a reason not to trust someone, then I trust them. I have allowed complete strangers to borrow my $2000 trailer as well.

Well, i have to admit that you sir are awesome.

I would have to get to know the person before i let them drive my car or borrow anything i own.

Then again i'm not made of money so i tend to be very cautious when\if i had to think about lending my car that is 25k... to some people 25k isnt much but to me thats alot...

This

And @King Tut you are awesome!!! Wish I could trust people like that

(checks King Tut's location)

Damn, too far.

Haha. You need a trailer?

Sure would've come in handy a few times this past year!

Seriously though, that's awesome that there are still people like you out there that trust first. I wish I could be of the same mind, but I've been burned on more than one occasion by people taking advantage of me.
