Back in the early 1990s when millennials were still in grade school I stupidly banked downtown. I can't even remember what made me do something stupid like that.

Anyway, I needed to talk to my banker about something that I don't even remember. So off on a trip to downtown OKC. The bank had no parking except a parking garage they owned, and it was valet parking only. I had a choice of finding a space 1/2 mile or more away or the parking garage.

I was in my daily driver 74 914 2.0 and pulled up reluctantly at the valet spot. As always I put the emergency brake on. I get out and ask the guy, can you drive this? Of course he said I can drive anything. He fired it up, and put it 2nd gear and killed it. He fired it up, and put it in 3rd and killed it. He fired it up again and I said it would help a lot if you used first gear. He rowed around and tried 4th with predictable results. So I walked over and while he had it started and the clutch in I put it in first. Of course most of you know that is against the spring and to the back left. He moved an inch and killed it because the parking brake was still on. I suggest it would help a lot if he took the parking brake off. Of course he looked all around in the center, and felt under the dash, and popped the front trunk. I walked over and closed the front trunk, and reached in and turned the parking brake off which is on the left of the driver.

He pulled it forward and put it in the spot reserved for the bank president about 10 feet away. When I returned he said I could just back it out and go.

Shortly after all that I moved all my accounts to a local credit union in the suburbs near me.
