I was recently in Palm Beach and had occasion to drive my rental car to one of the local restaurants. It was "valet only" parking. As I stepped out of the car, I asked the valet for the ticket, and he said, "No need. It is the only Chevy in the lot."After dinner, a new attendant was on duty. He asked for the ticket. I said, "It's the Chevy." He said, "I'll get it right away."
I think they were happy to have it off their lot.

It's not only Palm Beach. Some years ago, I drove my rental to an "exclusive" restaurant in Hollywood and gave it to the valet. It, too, stood alone amongst a sea of opulence. When I returned for the car, he took a quick look and said, "Ahh, the silver one." His tact earned a Bentley-size tip.
