Question Would you park your new EVO at the mall?!

Well, now that you have your new EVO, I think one of the major problems is parking it at most places. The thing sticks out like a sore thumb. How about valet?? Would you let a valet park your car??

I dunno, if I had my EVO, I would have to have another car to go to the mall.

I personally am going to use mine as my primary car so if I'm going to the mall then most likely so is my Evo. The Valet parking I don't deal with that often but I am going to probably take note of the mileage whenever I leave my car with a valet....if mileage is noticeably different..... ....then.........

yup, the mall, the club, work etc... it's just a car after all - and will be my only car by the fall. that said, I don't ever let valets touch my cars if I don't have to. In Minneapolis there simply aren't that many places where this is an issue.

I'd never have my evo valet-ed!! I wouldn't want to have to start a new thread called "The valet guy rolled my 2 day old evo!!"

All you can do is try to keep it in good areas.. Get the club, valet it whenever possible, but threaten the lives of the valet drivers prior to handing the keys over.. Know your miles!! If there's more, than file a complaint.. I know of a case that someone received about 20,000 for compensation for the drivers putting miles on his turbo Porsche...

As nice as the Evo is it is still just a Mitsubishi. Check out this 1.5 million dollar Mclaren F1 GTR parked (badly) at a local restaurant. The owner wasn't concerned about leaving his car there for 2 hours.

$20,000 would be a nice chunk to put towards what would be owed on the car.

Not everyone has $1.1 million lying around for a car. I could buy 35 evos for that price!! Or one of pretty much every car I want under $100k.
