That's only one more reason why you NEVER valet park your 928...

I once had a roommate who had worked as a valet parker for a while. He also told me never to do it - he said the moment the owner is out of sight, they often tried what could be done with the car... No matter, if Chevrolet or Rolls Royce - he had driven (or tortured?) them all.

I had a '95 BMW M3. When it was pretty new, maybe a year old, I went to a posh restaurant down on SoBe (South Beach, Miami). Valet was the only decent parking option. When I got the car back and started home, I noticed that I was down 1/4 tank of gas. They stole my gas, I thought. Then I noticed that there were about 50 extra miles on the car. Then I did the math. What the hell did they have to do to my car to burn 1/4 tank in 50 miles. I never valet'd the car again.

Hmmm... the local wrench is me.

As for valet parking, the last time someone asked me if I was "going to valet" I looked him straight in the eye and said "Are you on crack?"

HTML Code:
What would happen if people started photographing keys at say the
same as if they stuck them in a wax block or took them down to the Mr 5 minute key...
or simply stuck them in the ignition and drove away....

Good point Marton, but pics are very easy. Just email them.

Your cell phone's camera must be a heckuva lot better than mine. I tried a posed pic this past weekend and it looked like a pic taken with a Fisher-Price camera...

Since I cannot find anyone within a 100 mile radius that can cut a 928 key I'm not worried about that one...

And just how do you propose to get your cell phone into and out of my front pocket while keeping your arm attached to your torso?
