Default Safe Places to Eat

What are some restaurants you guys feel safe leaving your vehicle sitting outside? My wife and I love the Roasted Pepper but I wasn't sure if we should drive the s2k or not. Thanks for the help.

Get yourself an alarm.. put your top up..
and as long as you aren't parking overnight.. i don't really see a huge issue...

Parked right in front of the Coral Springs Ale House, under a well lighted area and had my antenna stolen. Not to mention i was at the outside bar with a close-up view of the s2k the whole time.

Not many, unfortunately. Gotta be high end so you don't draw the kind of element that will jack your sh*t. Also, I refuse to valet my car, so any place that does that exclusively (i.e. Capital Grille) is a no go for me in the S. We take the SUV.

Thanks for the info...sounds like the S2k will be parked and the truck will keep getting the majority of the miles.

That's like buying a Rolex and never wearing it. What's the point? Just drive your car out and have a good time. Most likely, they will outweigh all the bad ones (take it from me, I've had my top cut into twice). I don't valet my car either, but if it's mandatory, I just ask if I can park my own car, and I'll still pay the valet fees. Usually, that's all they care about.

Bad analogy, dude.

A Rolex stays on my person. Hence, if u want it, u have to go through me. That ain't happenin'.

A car gets parked, and then left alone -- usually out of sight -- for hours. Much easier to f*ck with...

I think the car is safe at most restaurants. It's important to enjoy it while you have it. I agree, the good times will out weigh the bad ones. Look at it this way if the car ever gets written off then you and your wife would have enjoyed many nights out with your S2000 .

You're being too literal. It's the idea of having something that you cherish more than the experience of having it. When it gets that bad, I think you have more issues than whether or not your car is okay in some restaurant.

I AM NOT ACUSING ANYONE OF HAVING THIS SYNDROME...just saying enjoy the car.

yeah i agree with arcadence on this one, and ive gotten my top cut too....if you dont use the car there really isnt much use in having it. I feel most restaurants are fine, and having a good alarm should really help. I spent a good part of my college days working as a valet parker, and know what goes on and would reccommend that NOBODY EVER park with a valet!!! I will forever refuse to.
