WOW, I think I would have burst out with "Are you smokin crack?" before I had a chance to gain control of myself if a teenager asked me that kind of question.
I don't let ANYONE drive my car. If your responsible enough, have the money to pay for damage should you cause it, then you have your own car to drive so you don't need to borrow mine.
My favorite line about teenagers "how do you know a teenager is lying, their lips are moving". Psychologists say that teenagers don't in fact have their brains fully developed, the LAST thing I would do is allow them to borrow my second most valuable asset, the first being my house.
He responded to these reasons well and said he understood. One of his freinds parents has agreed to drive him and his freinds in her GMC Yukon to the concert and back, therefore, they do now have a way to get to the concert without risking someones vehicle or possibly risking someones life. So, it works out in favor of everyone at the end.
I'm glad it worked out well in the end, it's good that a parent will be driving them. My husband and I have done our fair share of driving the kids to concerts. I even stayed overnight in Boston a year and a half ago with my oldest son and a friend of his, so that they could see Muse. I actually enjoyed the little trip.
I'm not quite a teenager anymore, but I drive my own SUV without problems. And I mainly use my SUV for family road trips. I have borrowed my father's SUV in the past. His Durango is bigger than my Trailblazer.
In fact, I'm going to be borrowing my dad's SUV again this weekend to move the dresser out of my old room and bring it to my home for my daughter's room.
If you're not comfortable in the slightest with his driving, then the answer is an easy "no".

If you want to lend them the suv.. just drive for them.. if you leave the car to these wild youngsters.. they might cause some damages to the bumper maybe.. or the lift kit.. or the fender, the tires.. I don't think it's a good idea
I would guess sometimes it depends on the kid. His behaviour any other time, his driving habits. Some teens already have their own suv's, but again, I would think of how much common sense does the kid have?

I like the favorite line. Good one.
