If you want to see a truly bizarre, segregated valet lot, pass by Mastro´s Ocean club in Newport Coast some evening. As usual, the Bentleys and Ferraris are parked right out front. However, the Mastro´s valets have another area for the S500s, next to the BMW 7 series, across from the porsches...literally they SEGREGATE THE CARS IN THE LOT BY MAKE AND MODEL. I still haven´t figured out where the Ford Tauruses and Honda Civics are parked. Even more ridiculous, there is an enormous self parking lot within a 1 minute walk of the front door of this place yet there are 100 cars valet parked. And there is a fee ($3 I think.)

The restaurant is terrible and horribly overpriced, but this is a great place for tourists to see OC and all of its ostentation in full force.
