No offense people but it's only a car... Yeah I don't stand on the street corner asking people if they wanna drive it but sheesh! My previous Monte was loaned out a handful of times to good friends and a relative while their cars were being repaired. Can't tell you the number of times I've loaned out my truck, the Z28 has even been borrowed a time or two. My current Monte went to FL with my girlfriend during Christmas because I didn't want her driving her POS that far alone. As a matter of fact my mom is using the Monte right now... while I have her Impala. I do so because I know these people will be there for me if and when I need something

I'm very protective of my cars, and the people close to me know that. The only rule I have for them is to treat it like it's MINE... not treat it like it's yours. They understand and do so. Haven't had any problems so far and it usually comes back with a full tank and some extra $$ in the console.

 

 

That's EXACTLY why you need to loan it out, so more people see what it's all about.

That being said I can see why some of our younger members won't loan out their car. Thinking back to my high school days I can pretty safely say that there weren't many people I went to school with that I would feel comfortable driving my car. But as an adult now... there aren't many of my good friends that I wouldn't trust. As I said those people now how I am about my vehicles and they know how I expect them to be treated.

 

 

I trust my parents and wife to drive it. Never my sister. How she burns the front tires off of a 2.4 liter Alero, I will never know.

I trust no one to park it in a parking lot (except myself)!

Sometimes I need to circle a little while to find the perfect spot if there is no spot out in the back forty.

If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

Who would not rather trust and be deceived?

To sit patiently with a yearning that has not yet been fulfilled, and to trust that, that fulfillment will come, is quite possibly one of the most powerful "magic skills" that human beings are capable of. It has been noted by almost every ancient wisdom tradition.

The inability to open up to hope is what blocks trust, and blocked trust is the reason for blighted dreams.

No matter how deep a study you make. What you really have to rely on is your own intuition and when it comes down to it, you really don't know what's going to happen until you do it.

Norman Mailer:

He got a corporation mind. He don't believe in nature; he puts his trust and distrust in man.

Peter F. Drucker:

The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say "I." And that's not because they have trained themselves not to say "I." They don't think "I." They think "we"; they think "team." They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the credit. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.

Ralph Waldo Emerson:

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship. (adapted)
