OK, what about this: I fly in, go to the pick-your-own-car type setup, toss luggage into a car, and go back inside the terminal to wait for travel companions on another flight? Uncool? Assume there is no overall shortage of cars and I'm selecting an unremarkable car - a Camry or something. It obviously implies an airport where the cars are walking distance from the terminal.
I've done this a few times simply for convenience and to slightly expedite our eventual departure from the terminal. I can't recall a time when I've done it with an unusual or highly-desirable car.
