I'm the same way; if I've known the person a long time and trust them, I'd let them drive it. Otherwise, they can ride shotgun. I've got too much blood, sweat, and tears tied up in my car to have some random person I hardlly know wreck it.
Case in point - a buddy of mine back in senior year of HS (1991) let a friend drive his very nice '68 Chevelle to pick up his paycheck. The kid wrapped the Chevelle around a tree on the way back to my friend's house and totalled it.

maybe im over protective but it seemed disrespectful
anways other than that noone drives my car but me!  |
I know what you mean. I hate taking the Camaro to inspection stations for that same reason. The revving of the engine more than once seems unneccessary. I really don't know how some of these guys get their jobs at these stations.

I certainly appreciated the offer and my dad slapped me on the back of the head when I declined. I think I was more focused on getting a new best in my Bird while on the sauce and didn't want to be distracted.
I can assure you the next time you offer (praying you do) that I will not have the same answer. 
As for my Bird, my Dad and only a select few friends have driven my car. My wife called me out one day and asked if she could drive my car knowing I would be uneasy about it. I called her bluff and said sure. We took the car to the Rutgers stadium parking lot and I tossed her the keys....she has never wanted to drive the car again haha.
I'm a bit more flexible with my G8 but I certainly pass the keys to just about anyone.

My dad, my uncle, and a select few others I trust. I went to a private inspection station so I wouldnt have to deal with them dirivng my car because they dont let you watch them at the Winslow inspection station.

I've let a couple people drive my car. People i trusted. My ex always complained that I never let her drive the camaro, even though I said she could. When she finally did she didn't like it haha. I had to put it in drive for her because she couldn't work the B&M shifter

When I had my Camaro, I let a few people drive it...When it comes to my car there is a VERY short list of people who I let/would let drive it.

I wont ever let anyone drive my car, can't trust my friends as their immaturity will kick in, and they wont respect the power of the car, especially after I've seen how some of them drive their cars or someone elses car.. I'll let my dad drive it and thats about it lol.

I tend not to let other people drive my cars. The Camaro has never had anyone else drive it except me since I bought it. The truck has only seen my sister drive it, even then she had to steal it while I was away.
