View Full Version : How many zilvians have made the mistake of letting their girlfriend drive their 240?

After having my s13 hatch for a month I made the mistake of letting my girlfriend of a year take my car to work while I changed her struts out. She knows how to drive stick so i wasnt worried about her bangin gears around and she works 10 minutes from my house. Right as i got done with the last strut i got a call saying she got a flat tire on the way home from work. I didnt think much of it at first so grabbed my z rims with 4x4 status tires on em(not slammed friendly) and expected it to be a quick change. Right away i see massive negative camber and toe out on the front passenger tire while the drivers side had good alignment so i knew something was off about her flat tire story and to this day still don't know what exactly happened. i felt the inner sidewall to find my coilover collar ripped the tire to shreds; now mind you ive been screwin around in this car for a month at that time with no problems. I put the good tire on, my passenger side was about an inch lower than the other. As i pulled onto the road i immediately smelled rubber burning and noticed a LARGE amount of smoke coming from the side she blew the tire. I felt the inside of the tire and sure enough it was burning hot from the coilover perch rubbing. About 3 blocks from my house with smoke billowing out from the wheel well the tire blew out taking part of my front bumber with it too. I put on my other spare n got home with about a 1/8 inch out of the inside wall on that one too. pulling in my driveway i scraped like crazy and normally its close but no scraping. I checked it out and the damage came out to be steering rack clamp bolts snapped right off which led to tire rubbing on the perch, i found out she drove a mile and a half like that and the blown tire rubbing on the coilovers spun my rideheight collars almost to the ground(took a vice and 2 guys to unlock the collars) She dented one frame rail and my exhaust.
To this day she claims the tire went flat from just driving and she doesnt know how the other damage got there. :keke:lets just say we dont talk anymore lol.
To this day I still have no idea what the hell she did, but I'm assuming she smacked a curb pretty damn hard attempting to be a drift star in the streets. Worst part about it, while i was fixing the suspension problem on her 99 neon POS she was out fking up my brand new coils with less than 1k miles on them! luckily the collars didnt strip the tube when they spun against eachother, but the anodizing did get all wacky from the heat of the tire rubbing.
I'm sure other zilvians got some pretty similar stories that they look back on now and find humorous.

I tried teaching my ex how to drive a standard in my car. I told her to downshift because there was a small bridge on our college campus. She couldn't so basically stopped.. I explained how to give it a little gas and SLOWLY let out the gas.. She revs to about 5k and pops the clutch lol.. there were 20ft tire marks on the bridge for a while after that, every time I walked to class I would see that and laugh haha

I let my wife drive my BNR32 once while I was in Japan. She did well but has never had any further interest in driving any of my cars. Well, she did drive me home once in my Chaser when I was drunk

Taught my girl how to drive stick in my 240 just fine..she did great I was pretty stoked.
When she came to Japan I was thinking she had it down so I let her drive my 180 around town but it was her first time driving RHD. She rode the right side of the lane so close to the curb(because it feels kinda natural when first driving in a rhd car) I was starting to freak out and it made her nervous and she swerved right into a curb :/ my poor rays engineering rims

I tried to teach my current girlfriend standard in my car. She stalled a few times and lugs the tranny around cause she doesn't understand letting the clutch go slowly. I don't think she'll be driving it any time soon.

My wife wanted to drive my car after I got it all tuned and everything last summer, but I didn't want anything to happen to it before the Modified shoot, lol. I'll let her drive it this spring though- she's pretty good at driving a manual, so as long as I find a place without too many dips/holes to swerve I trust her. Kind of fun to ride shotgun in my car for once, haha.

i let my gf drive my car all the time she LOVES driving my vert. i still get nervous but i trust her. she drives a manual turbo beetle the things pretty sick haha but my ex trying to teach her stick was a bad idea.. instead of putting it into reverse, because we were in my driveway, she put it in first and popped the clutch before i could even stop her and crashed into my garage door...

My girl drives a supercharged g35. She drifts it occasionally on the street. Needless to say when i got my ka-t all done and dyno tuned she wanted to drive it. I figured why not she drives pretty damn good. Her stupid ass decides she wants to street drift in the middle of the pine barrens. So i hear over my roommates scanner that a car hit a tree and was FUCKED UP. 10 minutes later I hear it is a "97 240sx driven by a girl", my hearts drops and I immediately get nauseous. She finally calls me and tell me that she hit a spot of oil and totalled my car. I was furious and i promptly broke up with her. 1 week later I have a letter delivered to my job, It was the signed title and keys for her g35. We began talking again. 6 months later i see this truck pull up in front of my house. SHE PAID FOR A NEW 97 S14 AND HAD IT MODDED THE EXACT SAME WAY I HAD ALMOST. We are now engaged. Point of the story is: i DONT CARE HOW GOOD OF A DRIVER YOU ARE ACCIDENTS HAPPEN, SO GO FUCK YOUR OWN SHIT UP.

My lady never really had issue driving my old 240..
but 1 time on the freeway the butterfly broke on the throttle body and instead of her puttin it in 1st gear and letting the idle move the car, she throws it in first start the car, then dump the clutch so it jerks forward vigorously instead of moving forward smoothly.

Thats pretty bad ass. Great story. I don't know if I could get mad at my girl if she wrecked my car trying to drift, I know she would have it replaced if she did.

I don't let anyone ever drive my cars... however.
I gave the keys to the S14 to my GF after we were together for a few years... she gave me a look of confused honor. I might as well have proposed at that point, because that was basically when she knew I love and trust her!!
She currently has a EVO 9 MR and buys everything herself and does the research to know whats best, and what she likes personally. I have also taught her how to drive with a Twin Plate Un-Sprung Clutch!!
So we are clear... we have been together for 9 years now!!

ive offered, my gf likes to ride shotgun, her add is way to active for her to drive stick (her words not mine). She comes to track days and films from the passenger seat while we drift, all in all a good time, ive tried to get her to learn to drift, i even bought a s13 in good working order with a ka and coils for her and she had me sell it.
idk why but she just prefers to have me drive and she likes to go fast as long as im the one in control.

I usually end up in a similar situation where a gf will beg to drive the car. None of them have earned my trust enough, but one day it'll happen.

Let my Ex drive my car at one point. Was really surprised that she got it down way quicker then I did when I learned.
Unfortunately, she did crack my oil pan, she learned really quick the clutch isnt the break.

*Edit, not a gf story but whatever
I got a new job and was one of the few young people working there. Showed up in my only car at the time which happened to be my Sr powered coupe and sparked all sorts of stupid lunchroom debates. A couple guys got rides to wawa and stuff here and there and thought it was pretty neat/fast. The only other guy that worked there who was my age finally convinced me to let him drive it in a nearby parking lot and assured me that he knew how to drive stick. So, i drove us over to Staples and we switched seats. He stalled a couple times and complained that my ACT street/strip clutch was too harsh haha but then he seemed to get it. Just when I thought we were done he whipped it out onto the main road, misses second, redlines it, then finds second and puts us completely sideways. At this point I am frozen in terror. He regains control somehow and takes us up the street with me screaming pull over!!! He turns onto the freeway and somehow mentions that he has NEVER driven a stick shift car. He has read about it and therefore "knows how to drive stick" as previously assured. He has never touched my car ever again. Thankfully, my car escaped his wrath without being totalled or anything.

i taught my girl standard in the POS honda i had at the time instead of my s14, you wont feel as bad if something were to happen to the crappy car lol.
Lets just say i had to leave town and all she had to get around was in my honda and i had only taught her for a few days on the basics on empty streets/lots etc . She drove from her job to my house all the way with the e-brake up :| and destroyed one of the rear tires, but other then that she's learned how to drive standard pretty well but just dont trust her just yet in my s14 :p

I taught my girl how to drive stick on my Z31, which was my first car...
she practically threw out third gear, but she got the hang of it.
When I got the 240, I kindly let her know that I love my car a little more than her.
She accepted, and yesterday paid for my carwash, claiming 'gotta keep my man and his car looking nice'.
I love her. Only 1 1/2 years together, but we're on the right track.

when i had my r33 skyline, i tried teaching my girl how to drive stick,
she didn't want to get in the car, she got kinda upset, then she gave in
and sat in the seat, i taught her the difference between gas, brake, and clutch pedals, then taught where each gear was, and then taught her how to shift into it,
then once i told her to start the car and try to move it, she threw a fit and got pissed...i said why are you getting mad, she said she hates driving, and likes when i drive, but yet she hates when i speed or drift...my heart broke knowing i won't have
a girl who can be a drifter, but she helps me buy parts!

oh yeah I forgot to mention that I didn't take the g35 from her. I had full coverage so I just went and bought a s14 shell and SR swap. But she is the shit, She wont drive my car now though. I let her use the s14 with the SR if she really wants to drift. I'm actually planning on painting it lime green and giving it to her for a wedding gift. Or I'll just throw a v8 in it and make a pure highway monster.

Was driving my car home with the gf, got pulled over about 3 block from the house and arrested for a failure to appear. Let the GF drive my car to my house and she said she could, plus her truck was stick so I didn't think it would be a big deal.
Get home later in the day after bailing out, GF says she "only stalled it 4 times" on the way there. :( I never let her drive it again lol. Then she cheated on me.

i wont let anyone drive my s13 at all and i really doubt i every will.
A friend and myself had planned to go for lunch on our half day. I told her the only way i would go to lunch is if she drove. She agreed right away. Then I flipped it and told her, not in her car but my car. (civic hatch (stick)) It was my winter beater so I thought what would the harm be in letting her take it. Gave her the quick run down on how to drive stick and drove around the school parking lot once so she could get the feel for it. Once we got out onto the street I had to start shifting for her from the passenger seat because she had told me that she was concentrating on driving the car. I had a good laugh. We get to a big intersection and we had to turn left. she stalled the car 5 times in the lane and missed the light 3 times. She then started to panic and when the arrow came to turn she punched the pedal to the floor and dumped my clutch burning my brand new winter tires all the way through the intersection. once we got to lunch she begged me to drive it back to school. The funny thing I find is that she still really wants a standard car.

Actually, my GF has a 240 as well:
http://i52.tinypic.com/k12dk7.jpg
She hasn't driven mine since it is constantly being worked on, but she drives hers pretty well! Never stalled it.
She did barely curb a wheel in the drive-through, and likes to brake really late...Almost rear-ended a few people. It's going to happen eventually, I just hope when she does, she is okay and it doesn't total her car!
Women just seem to drive with an absent state of mind.

about a year ago i had made my ex learn to drive stick on my rhd 455whp S14 hah. she actually got the hang of it quick but...then she got to like the idea that it was fast and she actually started to try and race other people on the road. it even got to the point where i would go pick her up and she would always ask to drive it...so i would let her since i think i hot lil lady in a fast car is hot hah but anyways, the funniest person she ever tried to race was when we pulled up at a light and a new ZR1 pulled up next to us...she looked over and said "hey buddy lets race"...I QUICKLY said "sir, dont listen to her...she doest realize what you're driving" then she continued to say "come on, dont be a girl...why buy a nice car if you wont drive fast..." hah well, once the light turned green it was all over...she punched it...and so did he hah i think we kept up till the end of 1st hah and then he put his hand out the window and waved goodbye. she did win alot of other races though against mustangs, s2000, ect. haha to bad it didnt work out with me and her...maybe in the future.
what to be learned?

My girl drives a supercharged g35. She drifts it occasionally on the street. Needless to say when i got my ka-t all done and dyno tuned she wanted to drive it. I figured why not she drives pretty damn good. Her stupid ass decides she wants to street drift in the middle of the pine barrens. So i hear over my roommates scanner that a car hit a tree and was FUCKED UP. 10 minutes later I hear it is a "97 240sx driven by a girl", my hearts drops and I immediately get nauseous. She finally calls me and tell me that she hit a spot of oil and totalled my car. I was furious and i promptly broke up with her. 1 week later I have a letter delivered to my job, It was the signed title and keys for her g35. We began talking again. 6 months later i see this truck pull up in front of my house. SHE PAID FOR A NEW 97 S14 AND HAD IT MODDED THE EXACT SAME WAY I HAD ALMOST. We are now engaged. Point of the story is: i DONT CARE HOW GOOD OF A DRIVER YOU ARE ACCIDENTS HAPPEN, SO GO FUCK YOUR OWN SHIT UP.
either this is a very elaborate story or you are one lucky SOB.
so far, no one has driven my rb25 s14 except my dad when he just moved it to get his car out of the driveway. my gf keeps saying she wants to drive my car but i dont know about that yet. i might have her learn stick on another car first then we'll see :)

7 years ago i was playing indoor soccer and this chick comes up thats friends with my friends, we got to flirting and i had to put my keys somewhere, i ask her if she doesnt mind holding them and she takes them. at half time i hear my car start up and take off hitting redline into every gear. she comes back and starts laughing at how fun my car is and how quick it reaches redline. it was a 5 spd. too. she is now my wife. :D

To this day I still have no idea what the hell she did, but I'm assuming she smacked a curb pretty damn hard attempting to be a drift star in the streets.
Note to self, don't show them any drift vids,

I let my girl drive my car when it was auto, but since I did the 5 speed swap she hasn't touched it. She wants me to teach her to drive stick, I might rent a manual car and teach her, I'm scared for my clutch, lol..

I fought my current girl friend almost 2 years ago in my old midori hatch.( Honda) she then bough her own ek hatch. I just recently let her drive my rb25 s14 and she built about 4 lbs and bitched out. Like right when it really started to pull she bitched out. So soon enough I'll have her killin it

Women drivers, no survivors.
Luckily, my girlfriend of four years HATES my s13 and refuses to drive it. Although sometimes when I'm on the phone, she shifts for me. Even then it kind of scares me though lol

I remember when I had my 97 Prelude, and was at a lookout many years ago, with my gf at the time. Cop pulls up, and asks me for my license, which I didn't have on me at the time. The only option, was to have her drive my car home. I know that she drove stick before, but I was still worried. Well, my worries were put to rest, because she turned out to be the best female driver, i've ever met. She never stalled, switched gears smoothly, and even angled when she needed to get in the driveway. How many girls you know angles? That's what I thought. :fawkd: Come to think about it, I don't even remember why we broke up.
so many stories!
funny thing today i let my gf of 3 years drive my s14. its her first time manual.
she drove down the street okay some bogging then she dint wana turn around.
so far so good.

its weird riding shotgun in your car...
i let my gf drive my car, to let her get used to driving lowered cars and to angle so she can get madd points with peeps you know, then i we went to this supermarket to get some food, then this big ass incline came, and she knows i love my car alot, so they she panicked when i told her what to do, so she went straight on with the street instead of angling, but nothing happened to my just a bang scraping noise haha. Suprisingly my gf only stalled when she forgot that she was parked and let go of the clutch. but either than that she swears to never drive my car ever again.

My preggo wife tried to get in the driver's seat last night and didn't really fit. I'm glad she has no interest in driving my cars becasue she has a horrible driving record, crashed her van and Mustang in high school, 2 other wrecks (both for following too close), about 4 speeding tickets...etc. When I met her back in '03 she only purchased auction cars because she knew something would happen. Although, since 2007 she has not wrecked anything or received a ticket.
i always politly tell them no.... sometimes they cry

My girlfriend drives my car all the time! I cant use it for work (delivery is a bitch in a slammed s13) so I use her Jetta, leaving her my car to drive to work. Shes never harmed it at all, in fact I think she drives my car better than her own!

My ex used to drive my S13 occasionally. She was a lousy driver though, so that didn't happen often. She wound up getting an s13 of her own after I totaled her 5speed '84 Celica GT. :keke:
I've taught a couple of other girls how to drive stick in my s13, and I'll be teaching my new lady roommate to drive stick in it this weekend.

my current GF drove my hatchback daily because i was dailying her subbie, I was working where the roads were horrible dirt roads and a lowered 240 would be dead.
she did great in a car with no power steering and a bride seat that was set wayyyyyy to far back for her!

i taught my wife to drive stick on my 240, funny part was every time she took the car for the day something seemed to break the next day when i had it. now the car is off the road with a blown motor but she puts money into it when she can and she has a 03 tiburon gt with a fidanza flywheel and some motor work done do it. im now rocking a kia rio as my dd lol.

Taught my my current girl to drive stick in my old probe (actually taught all my girls to drive stick in my old probe). well shes into speed, does pretty descent. come to think of it she likes to drive stick because she thinks it's hot when a chick drives a stick modded car, but wont come near my SRT because of the STS and it being so low, although she knows how to angle, I wonder if she'd be more willing if i drove a 240, she has an altima. So whenever where out and in my car she usually drives home because i'm too plastered to drive. lol

02-17-2011, 08:25 PM
It was such a major change switching from my SRT to my kouki. I miss all the power but im loving all the possibilities a 240 has to offer. My girl misses the SRT, that's what I taught her to drive stick on til she hit WOT and almost killed us trying to hang on to the torque steer in 2nd.

02-17-2011, 08:39 PM
Yeah, I love my SRT that's why i'm keeping the SRT and trying to trade or sell my tiburon so I can get a 240. I love the power and the support. not much of it for the tiburon.

WOW!
damn...dont know where to begin. In a way i would say, you better sauce her good every night when she demands it :boink::wackit: because she went out and got you a new s14 and mod'd it to close to what it was before as well as the title n keys to the g35... but then again it was her fault for the crash so maybe she needs to sauce you every night when you want em :D
Either way, you got a win-win situation there haha
but to the question of this thread.
nope i wouldnt let my chick drive my 240. the dam broad is the BIGGEST air head out there. She probably wouldnt even know how to stick the dam key in the ignition or let alone open the door from lock position with the unlock button from the alarm pad.
She look good...But hey...they cant have it all :(

My wife doesn't drive my 240 but at the same time, she taught me to drive it!!! I've never had any issues letting her drive any of my lowered cars. When I met her, her car was lower than my car is now so she gets the angled entrances, making sure not to curb wheels, etc. First time I talked to her she was sitting reading a car magazine so I had a feeling she was a keeper. She knows more about tearing apart an engine than I do!

Unreal. You laughed about it afterwards?! What's wrong with you? You'd better not complain if you're ever the victim of a hit & run.
My wife drives my... our 240 regularly. We went down to one vehicle this summer. I'm totally comfortable with it. She's a better driver than most all of my buddies.

I know my girl has a hard time with a strong clutch she kinda struggles to engage it. So kinda grinds when she tries to put in gear.
So unless she's used to driving stick somewhat she probably will have a hard time

I tried to teach my wife to drive stick in my sti. I was in the car with her and I guess I made her nervous or angry. If she does not pick up on it right away she gets upset and does not enjoy it... Plus I did not enjoy the smell of my clutch...
After I got my hatch(first nissan, red top, 550cc, jwt, gtir turbo, ect...) I wanted to teach her again. So I was not too worried about her fucking anything up because the car was not too bling-bling status. I had her ride with me to work and drop me off. I told her dont hit anything and be back to pick me up when I got off. I knew she would do alot better on her own. All I did was give a few pointers from what helped me figure it out and simply walked into work.
Well she showed up when I got off and there was no damage... She drove me home(she was nervous but did very well) and told me what her day consisted of. She ended up getting a hang of it and happened to notice a few car alarms that would chirp as she went by... So she drove around a few times and set them off...
I would call that a good experience. And she does not like auto anymore so I would chalk it up as a win.

I first tried to teach my girlfriend to drive my civic little over a year and a half ago, she didnt do that bad, she stalled twice but after that she did good and drove around a couple blocks. The civic had a exedy oem replacement. Just about a month ago I let her drive my 240 with a stage 2 exedy and no clutch damper. Suprisingly she didnt stall until she was trying to back up into a parking spot lol.
But to all you people saying I will never let my gf or wife drive bc she will mess up my car gtfo if you really care, your car wouldnt mean as much as your gf.
And to driftlife, your a douche. People like you are the ones i hope something like a hit and run happens to. Oh well Karma is a bitch and another 240 will be totalled
