my valet mode - evo stage 3 clutch

on my roadtrip, i've had to valet the car a few times @ some of the hotels. i tell them "it's a racing clutch, be careful."

1. Hermitage in Nashville
they start the car, i hear it in the underground lot, a few car alarms go off. BLAHHHH - stall. BBBLLLLLLAAHHHHHH - stall. BBBLLLAAAAH - stall. the guy finally comes up and says "you need to get it out - i can't do it."

2. Ritz in Atlanta
the car is parked upfront, there's about 30 people standing around, and i go inside to check-in. inside the hotel @ the front desk, i hear BBBBLLLLLLAAAAHHHHHH - stall. BBBBBLLLLLLLAAAAAAHHHHHH - stall. it was *loud* at the check-in desk - can't imagine how all those people felt! the valet finally got it on the 3rd try.

3. Ritz in Atlanta pt 2
they drive the car to front in the morning. the guy gets out and says "i don't know what's wrong but your car keeps shutting off."

That's too funny. Thankfully we don't have a manditory valet culture where I live.

Ha, ha.

Perhaps Todd and Garrett should market a clutch system ala their Flashloader for the ECU, with a "Valet" setting for the clutch (as well as ECU) which converts it to an automatic tranny for the valet service the next time you take the car to the Atlanta Ritz.
