Valet?
No way, not in the 911, rarely in the Lexus (stupid expensive in LA anyway + I'm supposed to tip? BS)
Mechanic?
OK, not a prob but it's still nerve wracking leaving the cars with anyone else.
Family/Inlaws? Prob OK with Lexus (necessary evil when traveling to family - car-less and need to "get out"? Better chance of them lending us their car if we have extended the keys to them previously). Porsche? Not happening in the 911, not b/c it's irreplaceable or a holy relic - it's just that few know how to properly shift/drive older 911s and fewer can relate to my freakish love for these cars and my intolerance to the ignorant is well known among my family...
For me, my 911 isn't just another car (I understand that position) it's the object of my affection that I have spent countless hours and dollars developing to my liking, not going to turn that over to someone with out the required skill and who can't appreciate or relate to that...
ymmv
