Wait a minute. YOUR car for HIS gf, HIS child (not yours?) and HIMSELF.
He is your EX. That means he is in the PAST! What the hell kind of society do you live in when an ex with no futher connection to you can possible expect to borrow your car to take out HIS family?
No you were not wrong. Next time tell him to call rent-a-car. And don't talk to a using ex like this. You are not a doormat are you?

You have every right to say no to anyone asking to borrow your car. It's great that you two still talk, but I don't even let my friends borrow my car. My current BF barely borrows it. I get funny when my parents have to drive it, and it's not even a nice car!
A car is kinda a big deal. He shouldn't take it personally, and he shouldn't have really asked. That was pretty presumptuous on his part. just because you still talk doesn't mean you're old pals.

No! Its fine to say no!! I think he was cheeky to ask to borrow it in the first place. If my ex asked me to do the same I would say no too!! X
