I only let my good friends drive the car, otherwise I tell them sorry but no.
Sometimes they call me names afterwards, but its better than 2K on a new clutch or any damage to my car and then our friendship

My brother, sis, and brother-in-law have all driven mine, as they're car enthusiasts just like me. My wife will never drive it even though she's free to do so. With my friends, luckily I don't have this issue since none of them can row a manual.

Owning a Porsche would be boring if I didn't let my friends share in all the fun. My SO enjoys driving it and is welcome to any time she likes.
It's just a car, people. If I ever become the kind of guy that's so **** about an object that I won't let a responsible friend use it, just shoot me, 'cause I'll already be dead inside.

Cheers to you my friend...................................

I haven't let anyone drive mine except my wife. I wouldn't be opposed to letting a friend drive it (with me in it) but I would preface the drive with this disclaimer, "you're more than welcome to drive it but if somethings happens (curb a wheel, crash, etc) it's on you.. right? ok, sign here..." j/k about the "sign here part"

I let people I know drive my car, but only when I am in it. I never let someone take it for any period of time (unless I am getting service on it). If someone were to ask me for a long term solo drive, I would simply tell them to go get one for themselves.

I've let many people drive my car. I love to see someone as excited about it as I was/am. My wife doesn't like to drive it (it scares her), although she's allowed. My two best friends have driven it, leading to one of them purchasing a C4 cab, and I let my brother take it for an entire weekend (my nephew got to sit in the back and was sooooo excited). I love that my car brings joy to not just me, but to many people I love, or even just like.

Wifey can drive it any time she wants. I've had a PCA instructor (and friend) drive it in anger. I have let one of my best pals (who is an outstanding driver that has an endless pot 'o gold bank account ) have his way with it as well.
