I thought this would make a good place to park today. I couldn't find a parking spot, the parking lot was full and this spot looked too good to pass up.

 

Buy this on Ebay to keep in your trunk with some double-sided tape to make it official.

 

My local Jag dealer has all the front row parking spots at the office area labeled with that sign above.

 

It helps that most young guys have never seen an XK. The valets at crowded restaurants always let me park upront with other new precious cars....even after all these years. It helps that it looks brand new and rich.

 

The only car I would ever let a valet park would be my ex-wife's!

 

If I'm on a date and I'm driving, we'll take something like my BMW that i could not give two craps about getting a ding. If they're driving, usually they aren't into cars and just have the one and drive that.

These cars still look fairly current and most people, even car enthusiasts, tend to be fairly unaware of them until confronted. They just look nice.

 

Nice spot...until the road crew moves in.
