"Can I drive your car?"

Luckily he drove defensively and noticed we hadn't made eye contact, backed off, and was on my bumper when I finished moving into his lane. He seemed understanding and didn't flip me off.

Yeah you're being a smartass but you shouldn't have ANY blind spots on any car with properly adjusted mirrors. Without any little mirrors. That's probably why he asked. hes actually taking the time to try and teach you something but your Username suits you pretty well at the moment, I think.

I had a chick come up at a local cruise-in last month. She said "I love your car. Can I drive it?"

I would have asked her if I could drive her but my wife was standing right there. So I just told her no. My wife has never driven my car so why would I let a total stranger drive it.

A friend asked "when are you going to let me take your car for a ride?"

My answer "You have a better chance of taking my wife for a ride!"

Aside from my wife, everyone who asks gets "if you don't ask to drive it and I won't have to tell you no". It's pretty simple. LOL. The wife only drove cause I was tired during a long road trip and that lasted until she ran over the rumble strip on the road. In her defense, it was unavoidable due to construction and lane shifting, but I was wide awake at that point and took over at the next exit.

The idea is that now you see the next lane. For cars coming up behind, they will be in your rear mirror, and before it leaves your rear mirror, it will also be in the side mirror (whichever side he's overtaking on). You will see the car in both mirrors at this time.

As it overtakes you, before it leaves your side mirror, you will have picked it up with peripheral vision.

You have never lost the vehicle behind you in any blind spots- you have full visibility now.

When you want to check something close to your car- like before you change lanes- lean over and look.

No more 'semi-sized' blind spots

THIS /\

There are no blind spots on this car, if youre set up correctly.

When I was at work my wife(who is the only one that drives my car)entered our car in our local show and shine event. She phoned me after some idiot told her that he'd take the car out and show her how it's supposed to be driven. Then said women don't know how to drive anyway. Hmm obviously he doesn't know my wife that well because she told him to go f*** himself. That guy was just lucky I wasn't there that day. I can't stand people that are so jealous of someone owning a nice car. It's like yup, get back into your 1989 ford tempo pal.

From day one I told all my friends and family that they are welcome to drive it if they know how. I get so much more enjoyment out of it knowing that the people that are close to me can enjoy it as well. Its a manual with 465 hp at the wheels. Too bad in this day and age such a small percentage of people can drive a manual. So far two friends and two family members have driven it. Girlfriend knows how but won't touch it.

I let others drive it if they have an equal or greater value vehicle I get to drive.
My buddy let me drive his 2014 stang, to drive my Camaro. My other buddy has a G35 that was pretty sweet. And another friend has a accord, and I'm like..... nawwwwww brah
