How would you feel about this?

WON WHAT?????

Then they got money to rent a car or go in their own truck IF they really want to make that vacation. Seems to me like they really have their priorities mixed waaaaaaay up.

Tell them NO, you are not comfortable with it, END OF STORY! It is YOUR car and I think they were counting on you not being able to say NO... They had money and could have a nice car with A/C if it was that important to them but it obviously was not. This one takes the cake of any I have ever heard!!!

I have been in your situation My daughter wanted to borrow my car for her and hubby and kids to go to Disney, I knew how the son in law drove (badly i wont ride with him lol) My daughter hates driving so educated guess that it would be Thom driving most of it. My husband and I said absolutely! Pay the insurance for it this month, the gas to and from (obvious) a tune-up so we are sure it is safe for the grandbabies, At which point my daughter asked if I knew how expensive that at all was! I replied sweetly yes, so why dont you 2 rent one ? saves money and is newer to boot.
they rented a van! LOL

haha great idea! Throw in an oil change before and after the trip, completely clean it afterwards, ooh, have it detailed, oh yeah I need new front brakes, I'm sure I can think of more! I think it would be a lot cheaper to rent a car!

Then maybe they should be saving for a new car instead of taking a vacation!

This is the kind of *entitlement thinking* that really pushes my buttons. Somebody slap me before I get on my soap box.

Exactly!

I had a close friend ask me this a couple months ago.
She said "How would you like to make some money by renting me your car for my vacation? I'm going skiing with my kids and all that equipment won't fit in my cart" (I have an Outback) . I was kind of stunned, this friend is a terrible driver- hit an old man's car 6 months ago, then got a ticket 3 months ago. I used my spouse as a reason to say no - "he's really picky about who drives our cars, I don't think he'll say yes. Why don't you rent one?" I think she just drove her own in the end.
