When I was younger, and poorer, I was very reluctant to lend anything to anyone. The
only time I loaned my car to anyone, it came back with transmission troubles, but I couldn't say anything since it was the aunt who taught me to drive when I was 11 years old.
But now, I loan almost any of my equipment to any of the family members. However, about the only thing they ever want to borrow is my little pickup truck.
