She took my car without asking me. She was given her own car, a Honda Civic. She is a new driver, she's had her license for less than half a year, and has been driving on her own for about 2 months.
Two weeks ago, when I was napping, she took my G35 coupe, which has almost 3 times the horsepower than the late model Civic, and picked up her friends and went to the mall.
I just found out now when one of her friends told me. The G is a difficult car for new drivers to handle, I don't want her hurting herself, it's a completely different car than the Civic, on top of that I usually leave "safeties" like traction and stability control off....had the car started to drift, she wouldn't know how to control the drift.
How should I make it clear that this isn't to happen again? I have let her drive my car before, but with me in it, and with the safeties on.

Chigga explain wat u just told us here on yahoo...explain her it's a difficult car for a novice with no valid amount of practice. Tell her that the day she becomes a good , best driver u'd urself give her ur car to drive on ur own or u'd buy her a new car as a gift for her but till the time she truly gets to be a good driver ask her to not use ur car or anybodys elses for that matter.
Bribe her for now, soft manipulations buddy make her belive that u'd buy her a new car on her birthday or somehting.
On top of that if she also wishes to drive ur car then tell her to drive it when ur init only coz that way u'd make sure shez safe and not taking unnecessary risks.
maybe u can keep ur car locked?? have u got a place where in u can keep ur car locked lol that wud be the ultimate step. C ur car is quite awesome n sexy compared to hers so she must have felt like showing it off and having fun with her friends so u can't truly blame her but then explain her wat the difficulties r... C wat kinda response u get from her after u explain. Strictness doens't work always but yeah even after warning the same pattern follows then u gotta put ur foot down strong. So just take a chance and explain to her the risk she'd put u and ur family in if at all she drives and gets into accident or some trouble.

Tell her how you feel. That her taking your car was wrong and she could've hurt herself or somebody else. If she wants to use your car she needs to ask you.

Talk to her about how you feel. Maybe tell her to ask for permission to use your car.
Talk to her about the situation if she was in your shoes.

Someone sneaking an-others person vechile out is disrespectful no matter who it is. I just would never let her drive or trust her again period!

you should take her car and park it somewhere down the street where she don't know where it is. and make her freak out a little bit. that should teach her.

why are you punishing her where are your parents
its there job to do this sit down with them and tell them everything you told us and see what they have to say about all of this
if you are the one taking care of her take her lic away from her untill she learns about stealing and right from wrong

Simple. Don't leave the keys where she has access.
