See those places I dont bring my cars to.. Anyplace that the valet has to drive off where he cant be seen on public streets is a no no for me.. I valet only places where the lot they park in is clearly visible.

Those that think this frustrated me on any sort of level are clearly mistaken.. Merely an observation on peoples reactions to a car, which after owning dozens of different cars was not what I expected.. Personally did it bother me, no, but it was interesting that the same valets that put my Escalade upfront, park a Porsche in back. I bought the Porsche to fly under the radar, but I expected people to still somewhat appreciate the car in the manner I always have.

Ok...did not know that. What about insurance if they wreck it and deny?

Let's face it, as others have noted in this thread, you bought a woman's car. Why would they park it out front?

Walking a little is not so bad. Maybe "overweight America" could take a few lessons from Europeans and walk a little more That might even be better than our new Healthcare plan!

There are fat Europeans too, not only Americans and walking doesn't make you fit. Walking is not a solution as it's not always hot or not raining outside, comfortable to walk, etc... you can find reasons why you can't walk a long distance.
What I was trying to say in my previous post is that some of you expect people to appreciate a car when they don't have knowledge about the car's capabilities or whatever reason there may be. Some cars, even though they're great, just fly under the radar. Think M, RS or AMG cars. They look the same to the untrained eye. A TT is a good example as it looks alike 911s out there and spoilers and whatever are not going to make people notice or respect the car more due to other drivers having similar mods on lesser cars. It's all about psychology of the human society. The respect should be there for an expensive car. You have no taste when you park an Escalade upfront and a TT in the back, but it's your American culture that promotes this kind of thing. In Europe a TT would be in front, still behind a Ferrari or Lambo or whatever, but in the front nonetheless. We don't care about Escalades as we know they're shit as cars. You like them, we don't. It's just an example and please don't get personal on this, but it's how Europeans view American cars (read: inferior).
allanlambo, I hope you didn't think I was considering you to be a frustrated person. I was referring to a general ideal that I was getting from some posts. Try to think that most people don't know what your car actually is or what it can do (referring to men) or that it's not a car to pick up women with (Lambo?), if you're interested. You made a valid point about getting the car for go and not show, so I ask you this: why bother thinking why there's no social respect for the car when you bought it for personal driving pleasure? It only makes owning the car questionable at some point. Maybe you're allanlambo for a reason and not allanporsche.
Just making some points here.
