The only time my wife drove my car was when she wrecked hers, and that was her first accident in 35 years.

The people who I would trust driving my car never need to borrow it in the first place. They could if they asked but they never ask. My brothers older son borrowed the younger sons Integra and it tossed the timing belt. Fortunately it did not whack the valves (95 not high performance). I remember my older brother borrowing my 59 Austin Healey Sprite and he manged to burn two valves and get the transmission stuck in two gears. Pop took a week off to fix my poor car. That was 1968. He had a knack for getting transmissions stuck in two gears at once. Did it in his 53 Chevrolet and we swapped out the tranny in a foot of fresh snow.
