Can I borrow your truck this weekend?

Dude it’s just a Tacoma. It’s not like it’s a $100k Mercedes

 

If you guys are that tight, offer it up.

It will work out fine.

 

Yeah totally. I’m not judging your friendships or anyone else’s in seriousness. We are all differently. I’m just saying that from my personal perspective, while I love and adore my truck, I baby it with rust prevention, I don’t baby it as far as usage, and I wouldn’t mind. I get the logic of not loaning things out.

 

I'd be more than happy with helping someone out with brush/trash/oversize objects.
But with a manual transmission vehicle, with a large clutch pedal throw and notchy shifter, I'm not loaning it out.

 

The friend that played ukulele at my wedding I wouldn’t let use my truck I’ll be honest.

 

I learned from past experience when loaning things out. I'm ocd and sometimes things bother me. I allowed a buddy of mine to drive my 2 year old Audi S4 years ago in the past. He sat in the driver seat not thinking about his keys being locked into his pant loops. Well, his keys dug into my pristine leather driver seat. That was not a cheap fix and he never could reimburse me back for the full amount. I never pursued $$$ from him and we're still great friends. He just never asked to borrow my vehicles again.

When you get older, you learn through life experiences. . .

 

It's my Mercedes, I'd take it over the Mercedes all day if it was the same price.
That being said, I told him yeah, gonna hope for the best on this one, f it dude..
Very interesting to see everyone's responses though!

 

Take a Tacoma all day over a Mercedes.

 

I like mercedes pickups, the older ones...

 

You're a good friend. Hopefully he acknowledges that its a new truck and treats it as such. In the end, chances of something bad happening is minimal....cant be so uptight and stress over every little detail in life.

 

I have not read anybody’s post except yours, much less the 11 pages this thread has gone. With that being said, if he needs to barrow the truck let him barrow it. Remember.... it’s just a truck. It’s just a truck. It. Is. Just. A. Truck.

 

He didn’t play well, or you didn’t want to get married?

 

So what’s he dumping?

 

All of a sudden I got visions of wood chippers on “Fargo”

 

No he played great is was more of the type of person he is lol. Your typical surfer/musician, but none the less a great guy though

 

I have 3 trucks and 2 of them only I drive. The other one I use to go to work and anyone can barrow it.

 

I'd say no to letting him borrow it but offer to help instead. And let him wash your truck after .
Seriously, this is the absolute worst part of owning a truck, everyone and their mother asks for help hauling stuff.

 

If you have a manual, it seriously cuts down on that scenario and is only getting better as each year goes by

 

Genius idea! I need to go trade mine in lol

 

I have an automatic Tacoma, but my other cars are manual and nobody asks to borrow them. However, what’s sometimes worse, is you get someone who wants you to teach them on your car and fry your clutch
