I am a big fan of Judge Greg Mathis on daytime TV. Recently on his show he said that a person who has a car, wanting to borrow yours usually means the person is involved in buying drugs. Well my older sister is always wanting to borrow my car or my Dad's car when she is in town. She lives about an hour away from us, actually has 3 cars (one is her husband's work truck) just bought a new house and has a big swimming pool in the yard! She can drive here, so why does she want to drive our cars? Could there be any other explanation other than buying drugs? I'm really worried, also her teen son has bee locked up for marijuana possession in the past.:eek: :eek: :eek:

If it is quicker and easier to get to town without bringing one of her own cars that would explain it. Television shows us a limited and frequently skewed view of the world. I would have a serious talk with my sister and perhaps some library research before jumping to any TV-inspired conclusions.

She drives herself to our house in her own car.

Okay, I didn't read your post carefully enough. Have you talked to her about borrowing your Dad's car? Does he care? Maybe being allowed to borrow his car lets her feel taken care of and wanted.

Are there signs of drug use?

Tell Dad this is not a good idea for her to use his car. She drove there in her own car, why not use it? I don't think you are jumping to conclusions on this either. If a person is arrested using their own car for drugs, the car goes bye bye forever to impound. If they use someone else's car, that car can be recovered from impound. Guess who's car a drug dealer would choose to use? Certainly not their own.

Good call there. Dad just might be happy not to have his car taken apart looking for more drugs hidden somewhere in the interior. Many drug dealers are quite clever with their ploys. Some love to take children along with them in the car when they do drug deliveries as well and actually put the drugs in the diapers or kid's toys. Yep. All sorts of scenerios. Also, they like to drive old, beat up cars as well versus their fancy, snazzy cars. This way if they are caught, they could care less about the car going goodbye.

Next time she comes t town and ask to borrow your car, say no and have dad do the same. Maybe this isn't drug related. If it isn't maybe she don't want to use her gas or do you or your dad have a betteet model car? If those aren't any reasons, it does sound fishy. When she takes your car where does she go and how long she be gone? Does she work? What about the husband?

I use my families car when I go to town because I like the way it drives better and I'm not using up the gas in my car because I don't want to have to stop at a sketchy gas station late at night. I think too much day time TV may be getting to you.

Or is there a deeper issue here that makes you think she is into drugs?

Does not want to use their own gas ( too cheap) is one though

Is the other cars nicer ?

Had to spread some rep chuck, but I agree with you about the gas.
