I would have him give you the $400 (or whatever seems a large amount to him) and when he delivers the car back to you in pristine condition, clean, and with a full tank of gas, he gets his deposit back. Make up a little contract and have him sign in.
If he has something at stake in it, he will be more careful. But - if you say he is responsible, I'd loan him the car. It is SUCH a big deal to young men to have the excitement of showing off something cool to friends.  Crystal

As a mom your first instinct is usually the right one, I would stick with your initial feeling. Even the most responsible teenager is still a teenager. Think about what you would have done at that age in a car like that. Being behind the wheel of a nice sportscar can make most adults do stupid things (myself included).
I think you should talk with the other parents about splitting the cost of a limo. |

Unless you're having a super serious
 the answer should be NO!!! Rent a limo, go to Hertz, walk, hitchhike or take MARTA. Take it from a former teenager... your 350Z is not safe in the hands of a testosterone crazed, craploads of horsepower under his foot, got to show off for my chick, driver.

Make him a gift for the $400.00 for his graduation and let him decide if he wants to spend it in renting a car.

Dont you have to be 25 to be insured in a Rental car?
I probably wouldnt loan out my car (actually a truck). I'd find a good excuse to why I needed it that night. Or claim it's broke down... Maybe make it come up "missing" that week. But then again, Its just a car. Any decently built sportscar can handle a good runnin' for a night. You break it you buy it tho. I'd make that clear. Maybe it would make the kids prom night, and help him get some. |

I'd be inclined to do it, but it is a risk I'd only take so long as the seats are leather or similarly waterproof. Ya know? In case something...spills.

Heck no! He's got everything going for him; there's something about folks just about to get a huge break or move on to an exciting step up or advancement that just plain invites bad luck around just this scenario.
