I am partially to blame myself. I should have just said no when the guy asked, I simply blanked out in silence. Never saw that coming, should I say yes or no was going through my mind. There were several other NSX owners around, it is obviously that silence is a no answer, no need to even continue to persuade me. I left the meet soon after, it was otherwise a very fun meet.
I almost always let people drive my car if they ask and if it’s on their insurance.
Please correct me if I am wrong. I thought it work differently compare to rental car. You mean their insurance cover their ass when they drive someone else's car? I thought it is the registered owner's liability.
I am not sure how happy your insurance company will be when they found out that the guy who test drove your car lost control, hit the center section, flip over in air 3 times, landing on top of the cars coming at opposing traffic during rush hour on a busy street. Killing himself and the 2 others in the other car. Lets assume this is the case, whoes libility is it?
Maybe my understanding is incorrect, I thought in this case you better hope that you either don't own a thing/have big savings in bank or is in debt beyond imagination.

Now here's another question....would you let someone test drive it if you were selling it?
If I were selling the car, I will allow the buyer to test drive it, however only after I take them out for a test ride first to give them feel of the car and show them what it is capable of. I believe it is always better to over estimate than under estimate, it give you room for error. Funny is that I have sold 2 cars privately, both times the buyer refused to test drive it. In the Supra case, the buyer was afraid to test drive it, so he had someone with experience of high power cars to test drive it and drove it home for him, very very smart move.
