Ever let anyone else drive your truck.....

One weekend I didn't drive my truck when I was in town....usually a few times around the block and what not...but I didn't. Instead my brother was like....LET ME DRIVE IT!!
Keep in mind:
-He has a little 87 Honda Civic which considering the condition of the shocks and struts, handles pretty easily.
-My brakes are not done....need some more work yet, pulls to the left some and power steering is...well....its an old truck,enough said.
He peels out of the drive way and I'm like okay.....I tell him to test the brakes....you know....PUMP...PUMP get a feel for were they work and what not....so he knows were and how it stops.....HE SLAMS THEM TO THE FLOOR AND WE GO SCREECHING AND PULLING TO THE LEFT DOWN THIS ALLEY.....then his turns are like super sharp and maniac-ish.....we get to a light and he doesn't slow down until about 10 feet from the intersectin and...he didn't test the brakes (which are very low) so he scrambles to bring the truck to a horrible screeching-left pulling halt. and rips it back to my parents house...we stop and he says...
"The Brakes need work and the steering sucks"
I thought.....NO SH*T A$$HOLE IT'S AN OLD TRUCK AND IT ALWAYS WILL BE NO MATTER HOW WELL IT WORKS!!!!
Some people don't know how to be gentle, they just asume all vehicles are just like their own.....I was a little peeved.

I think I would always have to warn someone....except my dad and my girfreind..
"My truck is old, and it just feels different.....be careful"
Does anyone understand were I'm coming from????
