So it finally happened. Had my company holiday party this weekend and found out it was valet parking (last year I came late and parked myself). So of course of dinner and some drinks, out we come to go home, give the valet my ticket, and wait.

...and wait


...and wait


Finally he comes running back unable to start the car. I did everything I could to keep from laughing at the guy.

 

Good thing he didn't have to put gas in it.

 

lol, good stuff!

Hopefully he really couldn't figure out how to start it, It would give me a little more peace of mind to know that he didn't dog my car in anyway! But, There is always the chance someone else "could" have.

None the less, Thats a pretty funny story!

 

reminds me of the night I drove mine home and stopped for gas....had to break out the manual.

 

Haha, nice. So did you get the car or tell him about the start button? That kid is going to have to learn...lots of cars are putting start buttons in.

 

I walked my ass to the car, since it was only 40 feet away. And I wouldn't call him a kid, after all he was older then I was!

 

i am happy that when i used to valet in college that i knew all about the push button start on the s2k. i only drove a few of them during my 2 yrs of valeting. i just wish i knew about it on the aston martin the first time i parked one.

if i ran a valet service, i would definitly educate all my employees on all the different features in cars. like how manual saabs have to be in reverse to remove the key and older corvettes have the e-brake on the left side of the drivers seat. how do drive cars with slap paddles. and u definitly need to be taught how to drive the newer 7 series bmws. that shifter is rediculously confusing if ur not shown now to use it. there is a reason why bmw offers a class to new owners.

 

lol, so true

 

I just called the seller of my car the first time I stopped for gas...I've driven Hondas all my life and the S2K is the only one where everything is NOT where it should be.
