Funny Valet Parking Story
So the I both love and hate how rare our cars are because some of the questions people ask when they see it makes me very sad. hah I had to Valet my car the other day because parking at the mall here is still a nightmare from the holidays and when I came back out to get my car, the valet attendant looked really stumped as he handed me my keys. So, I asked him if some thing was wrong, thinking maybe some one backed into my car or it was making an odd sound when he parked it. He looked at me and said, um why does your C230 sound like a mustang GT? I had been drinking inside for happy hour, so I couldn't help but laugh as soon as he said it, I just grinned and said because this is a C43 AMG, it has a V8 in it from the factory. He, laughed and said, sorry I thought maybe you just put AMG badges on it and a really nice exhaust because ive never heard on a C43. I said, nah, thats all good, most people haven't. He handed me my keys and drove off this shaking my head. A C230?! haha He didn't even guess it was a C280!

valet maybe took your car on a joyride, burning some rubber while you were shopping?
and after the joyride parked it nicely and you wouldn't know what he did!
maybe it only happens in Hollywood or in the movies, I dunno know?
burning som stick shift manual clutches on your expensive Ferraries by the incompetent valet ain't fun!

I guess it's not only in the movies valets pork your car.
Great service from valet gives most of the time great tips from the car owner.
Lucky for me we don't have any valet parking where I live!
