Dude, no one wants your car

Last evening I was standing outside a restaurant in Los Angeles waiting for the valet to drive up our car. Suddenly a guy pulls up, leaps out, and ostentatiously locks his car in the middle of the lane. When the valets run over to get the key he begins a rant which revolves around the theme that last time the valets had parked his wife's car in the lot someone had tried to steal it and this time he was having none of that. He was off to get the manager, yes he was, and the valets could just back off from his vehicle.

There was a bit more frothing and he then proceeded to run off into the restaurant leaving his car blocking that lane and dozens of people staring open mouthed at the piece of rubbish that he was driving, a car that apparently the thieves of the world were just waiting to drive off in. This was a car that no one in their right mind would steal for fun or profit.

What I can't work out is what he wanted. Was he looking to have the manager park his car? Park it himself? Would thieves magically know that he had parked his own and thus leave it alone when looking for something to rob? And why come back to a restaurant that had done this in the first place?

OMG. That is truly awesome.

LOL! This is too good. Though it's kind of touching he obviously loves his car for more than its looks. *g*

It might have been touching if he hadn't been such an utterly nasty person to the valets. He's going to get a bit of a shock if he ever tries to sell it, though.
