Vette to Vette!
I went to dinner last night in Mizner Park (a somewhat upscale outdoor shopping center with poor parking). I drove to the valet in front of the restaurant, thinking if there were any 'up front' spots, I'd take it. I just don't want the hassel of them driving the car, having to explain how to turn it on, leave it in reverse, etc. There were no up front spots, so I kept going.
About 50 feet later, I passed a beautiful 68-69 red Stingray. I slowed to a crawl to check it out. Just then the owner yells out "Hey, wait!". He hustles over, and says "I'm just about to leave, you can have my spot. Vette to Vette!"
I thanked him, complimented him on the beautiful chrome bumper C3, and hopped into his spot.
Later on that night, when I was leaving, I saw a red C5 vert pass by. I waited for 5 minutes to see if he was going to do another lap looking for spots, figuring I'd pass on the kharma, but he didn't come back.
I'll bet that wouldn't have happened had I been in my daily driver!
