Do you or would you let you wife/kids drive your pride & joy
Discussion
Wife? Yes. Why would I not? What's hers is mine etc. and I would hope she would have an understanding of how much I love the car and respect that.
Kids? I don't have any. If I did It would depend on how old and what kind of driver they are, ranging from hell no (just passed test and no interest in driving) through to actively wanting to share the experience (driving for long enough and a passion for cars).

Sure, why not? My son has driven my Golf Gti 16v, TVR, Porsche 911, Subaru Impreza and various BMWs. My wife used to use the Griffith to commute from Basingstoke to Amesbury.
I taught him to drive and he passed his driving test on the Monday after his birthday on the Saturday. I trust them and they respect that trust.

My dad has a 2011 m3 saloon which he kindly lets me rag the arse off, being his mechanic I put it down to a thorough test drive, I'm 23 and I've had my fair share of quick cars. But he doesn't mind at all, He knows that I know how much it means to him.

I know that perhaps the question is rhetorical but it is strange to see that some people value a car more than their family...You have insurance after all and your prime source of pride and joy should be your family and not your car...is it not? (another rhetorical question BTW)
That rather depends on both the car and the family...zarjaz1991 said:

So you have just bought yourself a new sports car, worked hard and paid a lot of money for it, as the tiles says, would you or do you let the wife or kids have a go?
Wife yes of course. Why wouldn't you?Kids? Not a chance until they have a years NCB under their belt.
would add that both my lads 'drove" my 535d when they were very young by sitting on my lap - just as I did with my dad in his Avenger.
No way on Earth would I ever let Mrs Texaxile drive my Lancer Turbo, but as she's the boss, she can and does take it whenever she wants. Given her propensity for hitting stuff I do break into a cold sweat each time I get home and see it missing though.
As for my daughter, she wants it for her car when she's 17, which is extremely unlikely because like her mum she's fickle and will probably have changed her mind by then.
