Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Last week me and Mrs. NewToThis went to an "upscale" place for dinner and I drove my '04 C4S. Once we got there - I found out that there was no easy place to street park - Bucktown Chicago... OK I'll "valet" for $10 - I give the key to the valet - we go inside and sit down. Five mintues later the valet comes to get me to say that of the 4 valets on duty that night - NONE of them knew how to drive a MT car!

At least they didn't try to 'give it a whirl' on your car. That's good. Papajin or Le Bouchon? Haven't been to either.

All goes back to this: In all fairness to people today, there just aren't many stick shift cars to practice on even if you wanted to. But yeah if your job requires you to park cars you should be one of the few who should be able to handle it.

All part of the dumbing down of America. On the bright side there are fewer people able to steal your car as well.

POST 8Original post

Should've went to Gibson's where all the Polska's are. They would've taken it on LSD for you and cleaned up all those carbon bits from your exhaust. Please don't do that again. If anything, give the guy extra tip and request that you park it yourself in one of the front spots.

POST 9Original post

Okay, this post calls for a wise guy answer from someone. Might as well be me: "upscale restaurant". First Guess Wendys. Second Guess, Dairy Queen.

POST 10Original post

I would consider that a requirement for a valet to be hired. And never, ever valet your PCar...

POST 11Original post

Valet parking in Chicago for $10? Impossible.

We had a great night at Dennys...Mrs. NewToThis had a coupon ( actually Le Bouchon = GREAT )

POST 13Original post

I always get the best parking spot directly in front of places where I know the valets can't drive a MT.

Taught my 17 year old to drive manual first. Then let him drive the automatic later. Now he hates automatics. Kids don't learn this stuff automatically (no pun intended) . It's up to us to pass it on.

My daughter works at a Country Club as a hostess, when the valet needs someone to drive a Mt car they come get her. I'm a proud dad.

This is sad, but true. I didn't have nearly enough practice driving stick before I bought my car, so I'm basically getting more familiar with it as I go. Of course, I picked the worst city to do that in (why is everything a goddamn hill?), but that's a different story. It's funny, I've had at least a couple of other friends do essentially what I did (buy an old Porsche or BMW M and learn to drive on it).

You missed THE MAN over there by a few weeks. It's really sad the owner/chef passed away in a senseless accident on i290 a few weeks ago. I was fortunate to have sampled his greatness a few years ago. That place is VERY hard to park at.
