Well, a lot of us have pix of our rides in our sigs, and most can just state the year and color, and everyone knows what your ride looks like!

I mean, really, you've seen one crack-ass red '95 VR4, you've seen 'em all! :

And for others of us, a picture just doesn't do the car justice!

Went to the Prince concert tonight. It was pretty good. But on the way in,around 8pm, just before the exit for Allstate Arena, there was a 4-car fender-bender on the sholder with a cop there. One of the cars was a white 3kGT (couldn't tell if it was a VR4). Anybody here? Also, on the way home, around midnight, there was a red 3kGT with it's flashers on on the sholder of LaGrange just before the ramp coming from NB I-55. I would have stopped but it was too far back from the ramp for me to get back to it.

My 2 1/2 year-old daughter wants to get me into trouble. A couple of weeks ago she started something new when riding in my car. She'll say, "Ready, set, GO!" and "GO Daddy!" She loves 1st & 2nd gear pulls.

[EVILTWIN]

smart little mouse, probably have to use something besides cheese to trap him, maybe a vr4?

It would have been different if you said, "most valets beat on cars but I have more respect for another man's vehicle". You can't believe the attitude you're getting? You're posting to a group of car enthusiasts, people VERY protective of their cars. You were guaranteed a negative response. It amuses me that you'll continue to defend yourself for beating on another guy's car just because the other valet's do.

Exactly.

Does anyone here actually like :

1) getting 4,000 miles or more removed from the life of their clutch ?

2) getting the outer edges of their front tires scrubbed from fast turns ?

3) getting hot spots on their rotors from sudden hard stops ?

This is what you are defending, correct ?

I was defending my piss poor attitude, not that I had beat on someone's car. I do respect other people's vehicles actually. It's not like the ferrari incident in FBDO (Great movie). Anyways, I can see this is never going to end, so I'll have to say sorry to everyone I guess. I'm sorry. If everyone was like you, valet attendants wouldn't beat on cars actually. Like I said, when you get someone that comes in and uses FREE VALET and then still doesn't tip, every day, day in and day out. Someone is going to get fed up and beat on their car, I never said it was going to be me.
