Guess it depends on if it's a neighbor or a friend. My new machine has been on the fritz and the "good" repairman is on vacation. I have a FMQ class in Paducah next week. My GF offered me her 12000. I would not take it and we finally jerryrigged mine so that it works but it's not fixed. I loan out my second machine all the time to friends and let friends use my new one--when it's working. I would let them take it home. Now a neighbor is a different story.
