Probably thinking like the owners of Javier's in Dallas, where they always ensure that the guys driving the Lamborghinis and Ferraris park by the front door and park the 1994 Caprices out back so that all the gold miners go there. I always wanted to rent a Maserati or a Maibach to get an easy lay. Sadly, I just preyed on defensless Hooters waitresses instead.

Your second valet crew probably appreciated the aphrodisiatical properties of the 6" Fabtech lift and the Toyo MTs.

By the way Phil, is The Palace still going strong there in Corpus?

On Friday night the Westin in downtown San Antonio wouldn't let me part outside the hotel (forget the 7' parking garage), so I had to park on a seedy looking open parking lot on a back street. Fortunately, the vehicle wasn't trashed or broken into, and on Saturday night the (different) valets were real happy to let me park outside the front of the hotel. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

When I lived in Corpus and was driving into downtown one day (I think going East on the SPID "feeder road" almost to the Crosstown Expressway), a couple of really, really hot, chicks started flagging me down. For a millisecond, I was thinking that I was getting ready to have a great day. Then I noticed they were in front of one of "those" places looking for customers. I never spent any of my money at The Palace, but we actually "had" to take some clients there twice back when I was single.
