Maybe I shouldn't have

Perhaps I shouldn;t have just let my roomates borrow my truck.

They are 2 girls, 1 is a 5 foot tall asian and the other is a regular size platinum blonde. The largest vehicle they have ever driven is a Mazda 3, which is currently stuck in the drive way. I needed my peace of mind so i told them they could take it shopping... do you think I'll ever see my truck again in one piece?

ON the plus side they will dump some gas in it and I won't have to un-snowify it :/

My roommates GF backed her Lexus SUV into his Mitsubishi beater and bent the passenger door so that it won't open anymore. Now she gets mad at him for not opening the door for her when she tries to get into his car. On the other hand, my GF drives my truck all the time and IMO drives better than most guys I know driving similar sized trucks.

Okay, they defintly just got stuck at the end of the driveway and forgot my very simple instructions regarding the use of the wheel drive. When I remided them all they had to was turn the **** my big girl dissapeared into the cloud of white.

Maybe peace and quiet wasn't worth this anxiety... I did tell them, if they were gonna hit something, hit it HARD.

Go ahead and call your insurance company and put them on standby.
Good luck, Joe

I've got to say that I personally would have just given them a ride shopping instead of sending them out in my truck unsupervised.

Of course I hardly let anyone drive my truck.

Well the whole goal was to get them out of the house so I can walk around naked, drinking beer, exploring FTE, and doing whatever I please... when they announced the mazda was stuck I saw my dreams of sunday relaxation go up in smoke... so i reclaimed my relaxation but have been overcome by a case of severe anxiety

I wouldn't worry at this point it is out of your hands. If an accident is going to happen, it's going to happen. I just hope what little relaxation you got was worth it.

just be glad it is a truck and not a mustang or vette, atleast with the truck it is harder to get stuck and if they hit something like a car there will be more damage to the car than your truck.

I know the feeling. My wife has driven my truck twice. The first time was about 2 miles. No big deal. The second time I sent her and a friends wife to town to pick up pizza. I was worried the whole time that she was gone. I figured she would run over someone. Crew cab long wheel base.
