How do you park your Turbo or GT2?

Do you park in the back of the lot, valet, take up two spaces, or just park wherever you can find a spot?

Do you park in the back of the lot Maybe but could draw more attention than not, valet NEVER, take up two spaces Just asking to get keyed, or just park wherever you can find a spot? Usually as long as it's not next to a minivan

 

valet - never. 2 spaces - hardly ever. I try to park on end spaces whenever possible..

 

+1, except 2 spaces: never, ever.

 

Valet, if they'll leave it up front but try not to. 2 spaces? never, just looking for trouble. I go away from everyone else or end space.

 

End space, preferably on the right end with the hopes that the car parking on my left is not carrying a passenger. I will valet, but I always tell the valet to get it the passenger seat if we have to drive it somewhere. Most places I go the valet guys usually want me to park right up front. Its good for biz to have a Porsche parked where everyone can see it.

 

LOL - I park it anywhere but look at what is parked in the parking spots next to it and may reconsider. End spots are great, 50% safer. Valet only if left up front. I once saw two guys racing (Porsche vs BMW) in an underground parking.

 

I try to park next to end with curbed grass spot pull as close as I can to curb that will give more room. Our just out of the way in a inconvenient parking spot. Never valet. Can't get Fer Day Out movie out of my head

 

I never valet park. The one time I was forced to, I watched the kid park the car and put away the key. When I came out a few hours later, it was pouring rain and they had opened both windows and my seats were soaked. I ran around trying to find the kid but he had gone so I cut my losses and left.

Park next to nice cars whenever possible. Don't drive the turbo if you can't be sure there will be okay parking options. In manhattan, there are two self-park and lock garages I use, one on 42nd and 9th, and another on 32nd and 7th.

 

I drive my car and then park her back in the garage. I rarely park the car in a parking lot. If I do it is in a place that is away from other cars. I also only park he in nice areas like Newport Beach, Laguna or Corona Del Mar where a Prosche is not that big of a deal!

 

i park at the end of lots or next to the curb 90% of the time and haven't valet as of yet. a few months ago took the mrs to morton and pulled up to the front to find 2 20 years ready to valet my car. thinking hell no, so asked where self parking is and was pointed to a garage right around the corner and decided to go that route... Needless to say it was a bad decision. The garage had a very steep incline and scraped the hell out of my lip all while to the 2 valet guys were watching... So I backed up the turbo and just found a parking space on the street farther away. After dinner was done came to find out their valet service didnt require the valets to actually drive the car and I could have parked the car myself upfront...DUH!!!!

 

I'm not entirely certain why, but here's a place I wouldn't feel too comfortable parking in front of:

 

Once took up 2 spaces at an overcrowded diner...
Came outside and found a piece of paper on the windshield. "You are an a$$h0le for taking up 2 spots!"

LOL thank God nobody keyed it. Lesson learned. Never again...

 

I never take 2 spots, never valet unless they park it in front or let me park it in front and give me the keys. In a lot I park on the ends and as far away as possible.

 

a$$hole...welcome to New York...LOL
