letting my brother borrow my car

well, i don't know if i'm just really nice or really crazy. i'm letting my brother borrow my car for his senior year prom. here's hoping he doesn't destroy it. i've already informed my parents that if he breaks it, they fix it so i'm not too worried but still, i'm gonna be freakin out all weekend.

on another note, i just noticed two small chips in my left front wheel. oh well, it can't be perfect forever.

good luck...

good thing I don't have that to worry about as i'm the youngest in the family.

I borrowed my sister's 00 CLK320 when I went to the prom because I had destroyed my 00 328Ci out of stupidity.

I used my older brothers jetta, we ate and drank in the car, drinking beer, having sex......are you scared yet? Just kidding, I drove it very nicely and even returned it with a full tank of gas, but that was 6 years ago and you know the youth of today are not as nice as i was back then. This whole country has gone to hell in a handbasket

i trust and respect my brother 100% as he trusts and respects me. we get along like best friends and always have, so i'm not worried. he's a good kid. and honestly, i don't care what he does in the car as long as he takes care of whatever mess he makes. if it's returned in the condition i gave it to him in, it's all good.

Be sure to mention the console's cooling feature! In Ohio the insurance follws the car, not the driver. Reminds me of the Range Rover ad where the Pfish heads get motivated.

my relationship w/ my older bro is totally out of wack..............jk

we're close, but I hate him when he drives my car because he never put the key back to where we kept all the car keys and I have to ask him for it everytime if I want to use the car again. And also, he never put gas in it. Almost everytime after he drove my car (or any other car in the family) the needle is at empty.

Ok, so you can't take a joke. Reality is we drive each others car regularly. He's never put a nick in it (or my van) and is a very good driver. I trust him on the auto-x track as he trust me with his.

On a more somber note, I did put a dent in his 23 day old 98 Civic when someone made a left turn in front a me six years ago and he has never retaliated. Stuff happens!!!!!!

when I got my car, my older brother was in china and didnt get to see or drive my car until 4 months after i got it. He was in vegas for the CES show and i drove over there to meet him and hang out for a day.

We were in the parking structure and he was like can i peel out in the car? Im like, do whatever you want with it.

My brother drives like hes racing all the time...
it was a good thing i raised my coilovers to its highest setting before driving out to vegas, because as he was racing around, he hit a dip on the way out!

if my car was a low as it usually was... my bumper would have got ****ED UP!

well you're not a very nice brother are you. yeah, my brother said all his friends were pulling up in limos, like wow that's never been done before. he said it was fun to be the only person pulling up in a Mercedes.
