Reminds me of the time a friend and I met at the Four Seasons in Boston, arriving in different cars. There was a U2 concert that day and the band was staying at the hotel, so the place was a madhouse with press and fans. My friend pulls up in some non-descript Japanese car, and asks the doorman where to park. The doorman says, sorry the lot is full, so out in the street for you.

I pull up in my Audi S4, ask the same question, and the guy says "there, behind the [S-series AMG V12] Benz." They had a gaggle of cars parked in the driveway and on the sidewalk, all exotics, so I was happy to be considered part of the beautiful people...
