Fell in love all over again... - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

After New Years I was waiting for valet to bring my car. When I saw it come around the block I almost couldn't believe that I actually drive that magnificant piece of machinery. It was literally like falling in love all over again.

We spend a lot of time inside the car, but how many of you have actually seen your car in action from the outside??

Not me -- I never let a valet touch my car...

Well, I had no choice on New Years on 6th street in Austin. It was either $20 to park in a crowded lot of $15 for valet at the club I was playing at.

EDIT: I forgot, I had free valet since I was performing.

This. The valet jockeys at my work lot hate me...(badass #2 here)

Had the valet at Wynn in Vegas pull up my car. I heard people who were waiting for their rides go "hey look at that" and "oh wow". An African-American male proclaimed "OOHHH SHIEET."

At Mandalay Bay, the valet parking was full. We were late to our nightclub, so I pulled up and asked if he could make an exception. He said "sure sir just pull up ahead." The car behind me was rejected.

I feel like I'm driving some sort of an exotic. This is only going straight to my ego.

Had a valet bring me my car at the hotel I was staying at for work. I had joked with him about the fact I was driving a Scion (the ticket didn't state the model) and that if he had a Ferrari, I'd take it

when he came around with my car, yum, those lines. Dem hips! DAT ASS! I remembered why I loved this car so much.

He got out of the car and told I wasn't too far off with that.

We don't have the power, but we have the style haha

The last time I saw my car in motion the wifey didnt know how to downshift and spun/jerk the wheels, it was cute.

Hah hah I had the same thing when the hotel valet brought my car on Christmas morning (stayed in a hotel in San Antonio for Christmas). Now if only it sounded as sexy as it looked! Oh well can't have it all. (for 30k)

Winter and all the road salt have been ruining the looks but every time I wash it off, I fall in love again.

OR

I rewatch some of the commercials I used to watch before buying my car. Works every time. Especially this one.

I love this commercial! The song just fits perfectly !

I love taking it in to the dealership sometimes because I'm the only one in my family who can drive the car so when the techs at the dealership drive away my car, I get to see the BC tail lights, I get to hear my exhaust, and I think to myself "Wow, how lucky is everyone else who gets to see my car from the outside when I'm driving?"

akahenry · 01-03-2014, 05:03 AM

I have never let anyone drive my car so I haven't seen my car in action, outside of the steering wheel haha.
