I think valeting your car is for chumps. As is leaving your car keys with the parking people.

We once were in a place that 'required' this to park. We didn't attend the event. I left. Wife was a little upset, but after explaining the potential downside to a nice tranny failure tomorrow she didn't bitch.

Not to be rude but there is no way I'm giving a $15-25K car to some $10hour employee. Heck, in all honesty, it's enough I have to share the road with some of you. I see the way these kids drive when they first get the cars. Never seen a track and race around like they know how to drive.

No thank you.

Driving back from work in Columbus at the light, an old lady in a BMW m3 revs at me.... I look over on the left driver side I see respect your elders, I'm in shock so I look back up and she revs again and saids "I'm might be older but I'm not scared of your Ferrari"! I kind of paused and look but smiled at her an just sat back an light turned green , so i kind of speed up and get in front of her. Hope she seen my Honda badge.

I got pulled over by cops for speeding a little bit on the highway (in all honesty, I was only pulled over cause my K&N sounded louder than a V8 Mustang, I was barely doing 60km/h on an 80 km/h road). The cop comes to my car and starts yelling at me.

Cop: Do you know what you were doing? DO YOU KNOW HOW DANGEROUS YOUR DRIVING CAN BE? DO YOU THINK YOU OWN THE ROAD AND GET TO DRIVE LIKE THIS BECAUSE YOU OWN A PORSCHE?!!

He left me with a ticket, but if I didn't hold my insane urge to laugh out loud, the cop would've probably got my ass into detention D:

My co workers when I first bought it... Has all red interior... They asked if someone forgot to wear their tampon in my Barbie car. Haha that's all I get.. Or occasional customers that ask what kid of car I drive and my workers blurt out Miata before I have a chance to intake air to say what it is haha.
