Personally, for me - I'd pull out the stops and take the ZL. Turn on the a/c low, crank on some Sinatra tunes, pull up front (or as close as you can get), open the door for her, get back in the car and park it myself where I know I'm comfortable with it. Enjoy dinner.

Bam-done. (Er, at least until you get back home!)

If are going to spend your time worrying about your car, don't take it so you can enjoy your evening worry free.

YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD!!

THE ZL IS A CAR AND THE WIFE IS SOMEONE TO BE TREASURED. TIP THE VALET $20 and park it yourself!!!

Valet is fine. I just asked if they can drive anything that has a clutch first. The wife and I went out for her birthday to a great restaurant and they don't have to really drive the car anywhere far so I wasn't worried. 15 minutes later they parked a red Gallardo convertible next to my car.

It was a Jazz game night...gave them a good tip.

Ok some asked to see how the night went. Well here it goes. I bounced back and forth to the last minute. Thought Mother Nature would decide but all of sudden the sun came out and I said let's take her. Pulled up to the resturant at the valet spot and they had two cones sitting out on a spot right out front. I asked if my car can be put there and the guy said why not. I told him I am very picky about my car so he put a cone in front and behind. Once he opened the door for my wife he came to me for the keys. I handed him a 20 and said I will keep the keys. He said yes sir. So as for the car I never thought of it again. Night was such a success and had a great time plus got to show my lovely wife off in a ZL1. What could be better.
