The two schools of economics, buy it because you like it, buy it because it may/will go up in value. You have 50/50 shot unless your grabbing something that has seen a 7-9% increase every year if cared for .
914, find somebody that likes them and your good, but your up against 1000 sellers and buyers that say not a porche...
If your dad bought a Rolex submariner or sea dweller 30 yrs ago your golden, it went from $879.00 to 15K for a clean one . But hope dad didn't buy an Rolex president .
My dad ripped a Submariner 1689 off one of his employee's wrists about 35 years ago, it's been in it's original box since. The watch was 1 hour old, bought for $1000 at MGM Grand in Vegas after a good night at the tables.

Dad took it off his wrist because they both worked for a watch manufacturer that wasn't Rolex.
 
In 2011 for a few weeks, I worked part time as a car jockey at Park n Fly and it was the most fun minimum wage job I ever had. Racing around in other peoples cars in the winter!
I would drive about 30 cars a night and go from an Audi, to a Lexus, then a Tempo to a Jag and so on. Some of the car jockeys there were very talented drivers, but severely broke due to their addiction to customizing their own Civics and Subaru’s.

Not quite driving Ferrari’s and Porsche’s, but it did give me spending money to go backpacking in the Middle East!
valet is the perfect 2nd job imo.

cash + tips and zero thinking required. I stress and think all day, just get in, park it and walk back. Rinse and repeat.

Restaurant perks and nice rides are a bonus!

I was at Casinorama a few years ago (not a gambler, it was a food stop for a day-ride) and the valet guy was trying to back a Lamborghini into a parking spot. Apparently it's really difficult to see out the tiny back window, because he had to back up with the driver's side scissor door open and looking backwards through the door.

So sketchy.

Driven a Huracan a few times, its a nightmare to reverse park. rear window is useless and the flared side haunches are just :rolleyes:

So hear i am thinking, damn let's just use the backup camera. Yeah right, the video quality was so bad, like 480p bad. And the size of the screen on the TFT dash was laughable.

Was watching a documentary on Lamborghini recently....one of the reasons for the door is to allow you to backup easier. Basically ass out the seat and just back it up while hanging out the car.

@Evoex thats some fun job you got there part time. Might look into something like that when things settle back in.
 
Plus you meet some really great people doing valet. On New Years '19 i was stuck with a bunch of Greeks for 20 minutes trying to drive out of the parking garage. We were chatting about real estate in the city. He and his buddy in the back bought up swathes of Yonge St when they arrived back in the 70s. They were selling off parcels for 35mil+ I have an open invitation to their restaurants, good thing i love Greek food!

we may be looking for a few people whenever it gets going again, if you can be downtown for 4.30/5pm start we can chat.

cheers
 
why is Ontario pausing the vaccinations over the holidays? are they not taking the pandemic as serious as they are saying
 
Dude, TF? This is a car thread.
Ya what a buzzkill @ToSlow is! LoL

j/k...serious...wtf why would they stop? I can only imagine that it's to give the hard working / non-stopping workers a break for Christmas. Not sure how it's even administered...hospitals? long term care homes first I believe is the process.

And what does lockdown look like where you are? Here it KW it doesn't look like anything has changed except for some stores with curbside pickup.Most of the downtown shops are closed tho.Dollarama and Dollartree are busy as usual.Stupid!
A lot of maskless gatherings outside Tims and Pizza places.

what are the hrs of a hard working non stopping worker?

lockdown is basically non existent here, drove by the favorite tobogganing hill yesterday lots of adults and kids probably over a hundred. didn't see any masks or social distancing at all
