Spark2: Good day NL. A friend of mine borrowed my car few days ago to help ease movement for him. I happily gave him the car because I understood the need he had.
For precautionary reasons, I don't let my fuel get below quarter tank. Each time it gets there, i ensure I top it up.
When I gave this guy my key, I told him clearly to ensure he adds enough fuel as he's leaving my place and not to allow the fuel guage gets below quarter.
My car spent some days with him. he brought back the car and complained that my car has stopped on the way several times and each time it stops, he'd have to buy a little fuel and add before it moves.
Second, he brought back the car with scratches on my front bumper. I learned from someone that he had moved on terrible roads with the car. I was told he went to places that other people had parked because their vehicles can't enter.
I asked how much fuel he bought and he told me he bought a few litres of fuel. This got me furious because this is a journey that if I am to go, I'd have to buy over 40L of fuel.
Third, he brought it back with a faulty fuel gauge, my fuel gauge has never been faulty since I bought my car. It was not possible for me to know the fuel level at the time he returned the car.
I had to go fix my car because I had a need to go somewhere with it. My mechanic opened to tank to check why the car was stopping as well as the fuel gauge. To my surprise, my tank was terribly empty. It was dry.
I had to buy so much fuel as well as fix the fuse of the fuel gauge. As for the scratches, I will have to leave them like that. The funny thing is that my friend cannot even tell me he is sorry.
I have resolved in my mind, I WILL NEVER GIVE ANYBODY MY CAR AGAIN. NO. ITS ONLY ME THAT CAN TAKE CARE OF MY CAR. I AM THE ONE MAINTAINING IT AND I KNOW EHERE IT PAINS.
what do you think about this? Do you give out your car to your friends to use especially in this hard economy where fuel, maintenance and cost of parts are on the high side.

Move on! Maintain your friendship with him but with boundaries around lending him your things except what you are willing to give him outright.
We all have one or two friends like that. You can borrow them money or things. It's either you never get your money back or you never get your item back in good condition
hopeforcharles: Hmmm it's a very hard one. There are very close friends I cant deny my car, but there are careless friends I am skeptical to give. My experience. I borrowed my friend my designer shoes and he killed it. But I borrowed him my car he came back with it normally ok.

I am also a victim ...during this Xmas, I drove my car from town to the village...this my over Sabi friend left his own car back in Abuja ...when we got to villa. Everyday, he go dey bug me to use my car to run some errands ....I also don't like my cat go beyond quarter tank ...which I told him ....when he used the car one day , he called me that though he put 12k fuel, my gauge didn't move ...
I felt insulted cause even 7k fuel will make the huage move to a noticeable level ....
After that day, I told him I can never give him the car again....he stopped calling me from that day till today ...good riddance
TheWinterBird: Your friend is wicked. He should at least apologize for these things. They were obviously done intentionally, which's why he doesn't give a damn about apologizing. At least now you know he's not a good friend and you should not only be wary of him but you should not give him your car to use again. I'm sure if he could've totaled your car he would've done so and still bring it back to you like that with no remorse nor apology. You should definitely pray over your car before stepping foot in it and steer clear of him henceforth. This person is not your friend.
Enemy as a Friend! Enemy of my Enemy! Some people don't learn from Wisdom,as if your friend would not go ,if anything bad happens to you! That is Life- this life!
Sound like an infiniti user or lexus.i dare say this to you.. No corolla owner will be bothered about 4plugs engine as per if the gas reaches middle or half tank. Na v6 engine get that scope. U dey buy 40l fuel. Na sure fuel guzzler u buy. Yahoo boy

Friendship should have boundaries except few exceptions which doesn't happens occasionally
Let me tell you how I know the difference between the real car owner and the one who does not own it ? How they speed over bumps and potholes. Real owners will drive jeje over bumps and potholes. When you lend someone your car, when they return it walahi when they return it your suspension system must be faulty
He's your friend, just forgive him. He will buy private jet tommorow also. So when next he comes, just give him the car with full tank of fuel inside and never complain when he returns it back with empty tank cos he also will buy private jet tommorow and you will benefit from it

Where is the picture of your car or you just dey find village meeting
Giving out your car for anyone to use is something that must be carefully considered. 75% of the time i will say NO. Except i know u to be responsible, a good/careful driver then maybe!!! Last time i gave out my car i almost had a heart attack. This guy used my car to carry load and even had to open the booth because of how much the load was. He used up all my fuel and bought next to nothing to refuel it, he drove my car on high speed with the Auxiliary gear engaged!! This is something i have never ever tried before except yi am going off road. By the time he came back the alternator belt was already slack and making noise. Sinve that day i don make up my mind

your friend is just a wicked fellow, if he buy his own car, he won't use it like that trust me. Learn to trust no one with anything precious to you.

yoir friend is just poor. He should have known that buying fuel isn't a joke so if he can't afford to buy enough fuel, he should just go and enter public transportation.
As a honda lover, I used mostly hondas.one of my guy always bad mouth honda,but most time he expects me to lend him my car.i always tell him ..No.why will you drive a car you dont like.no need
You can never see me borrow people's car, I will rather use uber, if my car is bad...
Even my mother inlaw car, you can't see me drive it, anytime she's in our place for like 2weeks, you won't see me touch it, nah my wife go dey drive am...
That the kind of person I'm, borrowing people's thing is not for me
