Default Two For One!

When you valet one Lamborghini, upon return, you get two Lamborghinis:

Is this a California thing? I've valeted my 911 probably over 50 times and it doesn't have a mark on it. I valeted the car in Belgrade too - no issue.

An expensive sports car to most valets is a temptation that is irresistible - joy ride it for thrills and bragging rights.

Not in my car. .

Only at gun point, and then there would be a heartfelt exchange before compliance. However when it got awkward one time I simply stated a double tip for you if I park myself, problem solved. $$ The answer to all Porshe problems right...

I do not. If I'm in the Porsche on a long trip, I ask the hotel valet where to park, they let me, and I pay them the same amount. For restaurants, those that will do that, I'll take the Porsche, if not, another car. Just can't do it.

You mean valet abuse?

That's crazy. when I am in SoCal, at least in greater LA from Santa Monica to TO and the coast, everyone is driving high-end cars and you can just get over yourself and tip the dude 20 bucks to slot you up front. Case closed. If he is "gooped up on gop", he has WAY better cars that yours to choose from, so you will still be covered.

It's everywhere else in the country where a very nice Ford Focus is in jeopardy, along with your Porsche.

Where are you guys Valet your cars ??? I've Valet tons of fancy cars and never an issue.

I've ever even heard of people taking cars for Joy Rides. I'm sure if that were the cars the restaurant would be closed immediately with the social media backlash

Always. Better than walking and my cars usually stay up in front anyway.

No issues in SoCal either. Just don't like others driving my cars.

No way. My wife thought I was the only nut until our first Treffen in Asheville. Every Porsche owner looking for the perfect spot.
PS- not mine at Treffen. not only parking position but even handicapped spot! Even I can’t go this far for parking spot. 🙀
