Hehe. My wife couldn't drive a stick, and she had convinced herself she couldn't learn, so she never drove my car even though I tried to encourage her to try.
I bought the car in 1996. Met her in 1999. 16 years later, I've married and divorced her. I still have the same car. :-) And she never did learn how to drive it.
I don't get between men and their cars. My brother was a mechanic so I saw how much cars mean to a guy. I'm grateful if they let me drive their car as I am a responsible person and driver but I wouldn't make a big deal of it.
Well if the car is in his name and his wife wrecks it and does a hit and run, she can lie on him and police can bring him up on charges. That is why I'd be hesitant to let anyone other than myself drive a car that is in my name.
Not disagreeing with you, but I wouldn't have my car in my own name if I'm married. Our insurance cards have both of our names on them. Again, I consider us to have a normal, functioning marriage.
Last time my partner borrowed my car it was totaled in an accident. It was the other guy's fault, though. She's also a responsible and thoughtful person overall, so she can borrow my new replacement car any time she needs.
However, if she wanted to borrow it just because she wanted to drive something different, that would tell me that she's not as responsible and thinking as I thought she was and I would have second thoughts about letting her use it.
If she also had a history of enabling the kids do irresponsible things with other people's cars, there is no way I would let her use it.
Because he sees how you have taught your son to care for cars that are borrowed?
