OP has worked his life from humble beginnings to prized possessions. Isn’t the great thing about possessions and wealth being able to share them?
My thought on this is if you’re unwilling to let her drive either of your cars, then she isn’t the right one for you because your cars are worth more to you than she is. Really if you can’t offer her the 335, then this is a temporary relationship. Find a girl you value more than your car.
Conversely, if she asks for a pretty simple favor and you decline, or try a work around, haven’t you just shown her your red flag?
The situation on this issue has progressed too far to put the genie back in the bottle. No matter what you do, you have each learned something about the other. A magnanimous gesture at this stage might buy time in the relationship, but if you both don’t change a few things I don’t see it lasting.
FWIW my gf totaled her car while we were dating and really couldn’t afford a replacement. I let her drive my X5 4.8is (my DD was a 997S at the time) and she kept it at her house, drove to work, let it be a mess, etc. for months. We ended up getting married and kept that X5 for almost 9 more years. She drove the 997S on narrow twisty roads within days of us meeting. Hopefully my tombstone will say something about being a good husband; I doubt if any of my cars will be mentioned.
