If a friend asked to borrow your car for a few days, and wouldn't tell you what they needed it for, would you let them?

I would have to say no. It's my only mode of transportation to and from wherever I need to go, and I've paid too much money for car payments and insurance (that my friends aren't covered on) for it to be going somewhere without me.
-
No, I won't. I won't give them even the car key without knowing the proper reason.
-
No I need my car myself , if it was imperative they could tell me the reason. I would certainly loan them my car if it was very important or an emergency.
-
Probably not. If someone was not able to disclose what they needed the car for, it is probably not good.
-
Depends on who the friend is. If it were my sister, she could have it, no questions asked. If it were any of my sister-in-laws she probably couldn't have it whether or not she had a good reason she needed it. Largely based on their responsibility level and driving competence. I have friends in each category, but much more in the category of my sister. Most of the people I'm friends with are responsible adults and would not need it for anything except transportation, and I trust them.
-
Sorry, but I paid for my car and I pay the insurance. Why would I let someone potentially screw that up for me by getting it impounded, wrecked or otherwise mess me up?
-
Not if he refused to tell me the reason, no. That's just flat-out unreasonable.
-
No that's silly. It's my car, I need it, and if you want it you can tell me why. If you can't tell me, you have legs walk where you have to go. Heck, I'd lend you my bike before my car with the attitude that you wouldn't tell me. Only justifiable reason of not telling me why you want to borrow my car is if you are going to surprise me and get it fixed or use it to plan a surprise birthday party. But the chances of that are slim to none >.<
-
No, I won't let anybody drive my car except me.
-
I don't have a car, but I don't think I would unless they told me why, or if they were a BEST friend, and I knew them inside and out.
-
If they wont say why they need it I would not let them
-
Even if they did tell me for what purpose they wanted to borrow my car, I would still refuse. I would, however, offer to provide transportation if it fit into my schedule, and would request that they contribute to fuel and toll costs. If that worked for them, we could all get along, otherwise, no deal.
