Default I drove a R8 tonight

Lucky for me, I work at a nice joint here in town, valet parking cars, and it just so happens a guy came in tonight in his new R8. He asked me to take good care of it. Of course, no harm in an easy lap around the block, right? Actually, I did drive it around the block but only so I could pull it into our VIP spot. nice car. also, no more than an hour goes by and a younger guy pulls up in a mod'ed B6 S4. It, too, toured the block and landed a spot up front next to the R8.

We've been seeing quite a few more audi's these days at the valet stand than in years past. I guess people are finally getting the memo. One of our regulars has a new RS4 and a fellow came in a few weeks ago in a RS6. A guy down the street drives a new S8 but it has not made an appearance at the restaurant.

meanwhile, I'll be driving my 96 fwd 2.8 B5, saving my tip money, and daydreaming.

What are you day dreaming about?

You are driving an Audi!

Just wait a little more and you'll be driving a supercharged one!

I wouldn't give ANY car to a valet, ever. Especially something like an R8.

Damnn... I thoght I told you very clearly to park it there and not drive around... One thing for sure "Mister", I am not coming to your restaurant again, and the Risotto wasn't great either.
