What happens when you let a parking attendant drive your $350,000 car...

Actually, cost of the car doesn't really matter because, if you are a sane and normal person, you buy within your means. Meaning the person who owns a $350,000 car has millions of dollars and can afford another one. Which means it's worth about as much as a civic to him. The only cars that wouldn't follow this rule are irreplaceable models, which you wouldn't be driving around in this fashion. So yea, if you don't give a crap if someone filmed themselves parking your civic, then you probably wouldn't give a crap if someone filmed themselves parking your $350,000 car, assuming you had the owners money. Carry on...

I always thought "sane and normal" meant appreciating the value of money and taking care of what you own.
Of course, that may also be why so many people are up to their eyeballs in debt and havr the newest of new crap and constantly work to replace it.
I try to take care of my stuff. My socks are considered as replaceable as my cars or my house.
Not because I cant afford socks, but because I appreciate the value of money and dont see any reason to needlessly waste it.

Indeed, this thread is pretty stupid. The man drives cars everyday for a living. What would you do in a situation where you are put into a royce? If my buddy was around with a camera or camcorder, you better believe I would have pictures of my latest conquest.

Its hard finding good cheap labor (assuming hes cheap). Had he not had the window down, talking like an idiot, NOBODY on this thread would have said anything about it even if he WAS a parking attendant. Everything else about his performance appears to be completely professional. He didn't do it in front of other customers. He isn't mishandling the car owner's property in anyway.

I can't believe that a lot of you think that acting like someone else's 350k car is your own is enough for you to be fired on the spot. Id rather fire you filthy rats who would have the nerve to fire a minimum wage worker for taking 10 seconds to enjoy an oppurtunity that he or 99.9% of us will never have. Have some fun, and pull that stick out.

LMAO... but there is at least one post everyday of "look what I saw in the parking lot" with some nice ride. Like this is really any different.

a) It's not nice to think of anyone as a peon... This "peon" could be a hard working fellow trying to support his wife and kids...

b) I would never own a $350,000 car

c) If I did have a $350,000 car, I'd be able to afford a cab so that my $350,000 car wouldn't be given to a stranged who doesn't make that in 10 years.

d) I'd also get a prius for everyday driving and only take the $350,000 car to events that warrant a $350,000 car

Shens on c and d. A person who owns a $350,000 car doesn't obsess over it. They are toys and likely not overly important to the owner. If some parking attendant fvcks it up that's what insurance and lawyers are for.

The CEO of the company I work for drives his Bentley Continental GT to work almost everyday.

Calling shens is a bit much, though I'll say that you're right - I can't fairly comment on the situation unless I'm in it myself. Right now, I'd baby a $350,000 car like it was made out of glass... When (if) I can afford a $350,000 then, yes, it would be similar to my current self buying a camry.

Though no shens on D- I would own multiple cars. Same way I own a special shirt that has paint splattered all over it for when I want to do some grunt work, I'd drive a $350,000 to situations I would need to impress clients, a prius for trips to the video store, an SUV for when I need to go to home depot, etc. Tell me, would you tie sheetrock onto the roof of your bentley?

Of course you would own multiple cars. But I'm saying you wouldn't drive this car only for special occassions. Like I said, the CEO of the company I work for drives his Bentley into work everyday. I'm sure there are some who own this car who would only drive it on special occassions but I'm sure there are quite a few who drive them everyday also.

I don't see many owners of a Rolls Royce buying or hauling their own sheetrock either. :roll:
