Well this was all good for a laugh. Thanks!

I'm not even going into the "driver's car" thing. I like my nice, cozy BMW fine.

I also avoid valet's like the plague, however. Two things people can't get right in my car: door handles and the shifter. Even smart people that know cars can't seem to understand the shifter. I admit it took me a few times to get used to it, but once you do, it's really no different.

The local Lexus dealer around here offers free valet for Lexuses, but that's not really a good reason to buy one, is it?

When it comes to valets, I just can't get "Ferris Bueller" out of my mind, though..

Country clubs are for spoiled rich white people, so I don't go, but I suppose I wouldn't mind using a valet there. At the mall, no - I don't think so.

I keep parking mine away from other people in the hopes it won't get dinged. I know it will happen one day, but still..

Stealing is also a concern, I admit. I keep a lot of expensive crap in my center console (new iPod touch, expensive sunglasses, etc.)

There's also the "no one drives my car but me" thing.

If THEY want to drive a BMW, they can get their own.
