I used to let a few people "test drive" my cars. I let my best friend's brother (muscle car guy) test drive my then brand new 1996 Eagle Talon AWD. It had about 200 miles on it and I told him to shift it early since it was still a fresh motor. After he banged it over redline twice, I learned a bit.
I let a fellow car guy co-worker test drive a different car I owned a short time later (he's really into racing and cars as well). While we were flying through an intersection in a 4 wheel drift pattern with me holding on for dear life in the passenger seat, I made a mental note that no one will "test drive" my cars anymore. It's been that way for years now...
All the car guys at work here want to "drive my car". Unless they put down the money required to rebuild my transmission and freshen up the bottom end of my motor when they miss some gears and over rev the motor, I continue to decline every request. Most people won't respect your stuff and will just pound on it.
Let 'em get his own 911 to pound on.
