If a friend of yours wanted to try driving an NSX....

Oh, I know exactly what the OP said :biggrin:. If you're comfortable with letting someone drive your vehicle, then more power to you. I also forgot to add, that with my particular car, that I just purchased, the clutch, as well as the clutch master cylinder are going out soon. So you have to KNOW how to drive it, in order to not kill the clutch. Maybe I'll have a change in heart after my car is 100% again
Yes. I give plenty of rides and will let a friend drive it no prob.
Altho I must admit I don't do it near as much as I used to after it cost me a clutch last year from one guys abuse.

lol. SOLID LOGIC! :biggrin:
I let my friend drive my car and when he was cruisin in first gear he punched it and it jerked my neck back. It was actually kind of sore the next day. I've let my friends take the car out with me before.
Never, ever.

Go ahead if he respects You he WILL respect your car. Or like Steve says otherwise you can knock him out. I guess if you are in the car with him there is nothing to worry about in my opinion.
What do you guys do in situations where valet parking is mandatory?
Ask if you can self park with a tip....or don't park it there. Sometime ago at the palos verdes show that Acura invited us to had valet parking. One NSX'er watched the valet do a burnout as he was parking his NSX.
Need I say more???

Yeah me too. I don't even wash mine. And I set crap on it in the garage when I can't find a clean spot on my workbench. Sometimes when I need fuel for a lawnmower I'll just syphon out of the NSX. I jump my pickup truck with it too when the battery is dead. I let people eat in it and drop crumbs and spill drinks and stuff. I also like it when my windows fog up... when they do, I'll pull over to the side of the road and pick up a kid just so they can draw smiley faces on the inside of the windows.
No. Nobody drives my car. It's not just a car. It's MY NSX. If you want to drive one, go find a dealership with one on the lot and drive it.
A Corolla is JUST a car. How sad it is that your NSX is just a car. What a lack of respect that phrase shows for what you have in your garage. :frown:

That's exactly what I do. The Hoffbrau House in Newport, KY demands that the valet park the car. I tell them I'll give them the tip, and put it wherever they like if I can park it myself. They say it's against policy. I say ok. Do a U-Turn and park it across the street at the levee. The valet gets my 20 dollar tip and it's in sight of the people that said no. F those people. If you can't park your own car, the hell with 'em. Some will let you park it yourself if they ride shotgun with you.
I never let a valet park my NSX. I usually insist on parking it myself up front and out of the way, then give them a $10 or $20 tip. I hand the keys over to them but before I get out of the car to give them the keys, I hit both kill switches knowing that no one will ever be able to start the car. I've had valet's come into a reception asking me to move the car and I politely tell them I will when the party is over.

BALLER!
You have 2 seperate kill switches?
Yep. And sometimes I've even forgotten that I've switched both on and I look like an idiot with an exotic that can't start up. After a few cranks I flip the second switch and the car starts right up. :smile:
What a minute, Robert... don't you remember? You offered to let me drive your car once... at the Starbuck's Valencia meet.
....but I turned you down because, "Your car is too slow."
:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
always exceptions to the rule. :wink:
