    Oh you're just having a laugh now aren't you????
    I voted. I probably don't have to tell you how I voted.
    This is a hilarious story. It has made my day. What a nerve!

    I would not only say no, I'd say HE!! no! espeically after hearing the lottery part.....forget that. I'm a generous person, but they aren't in NEED of it for a dire situation, so I'd say no. It's your car that will be damaged or broken if something goes wrong, and I doubt they would want to pay to have it fixed for you. Not to mention, if they got in a serious accident with it, and they are borrowing it, insurance sometimes won't cover it because it's not being driven by a registered driver, which could come back and bite you in the hiney.

    Thanks Jess for the great sig of my kids!

    I think you have your answer

    I think it was nervy to ask. And your husband is certainly free with YOUR car, isn't he? Time for a chat with the guy.

    I too have a problem saying no to people. But I'm getting better. Maybe we both need Rachel to get on her soapbox!

    haha ok, I did leave the lottery part out on purpose to begin with, to see reactions....to be perfectly honest I am appalled that they asked. In shock. Yes I have a hard time saying no, but I am going to - but I did want some other reactions to see what others thought about it. I knew what answers I'd get if I added the lottery part

    Practice saying "no" in the mirror

    Really, see what you will look like when you say it to them. Like a dress rehersal.

    I wouldn't loan them my car. If they cannot afford, for whatever reason, to rent a car, then they shouldn't be going on a ))((**(&^& vacation. Just that simple.

    My favorite line is: "I really wish I could, but I cannot." I do not feel comfortable loaning other people my car. End of story.

    I would loan my closest friend or another person my car if I thought it was justified. In this case, my dear, I think they were intending on "using" you to save a few bucks!

    I could understand if they were in dire need, had no other transportation, etc. but having a vehicle of their own AND having won the lottery.

    I didn't vote because my choice of HECK NO was not an option.
