Many years ago, for some stupid reason I banked downtown and the only parking even close to the bank was their valet parking. I was driving my 914 back then. I get out and I ask the kid if he can drive one of these. He instantly replies that he can drive anything. I hand him my keys and he promptly puts it in 2nd gear and stalls it. He then tried third with another stall.
The roof was off so I leaned over and suggested first gear would be the best choice. He rows around some more and tries second again. Then he looked up at me so I leaned in and put it in first which as anyone familiar with a 901 transmission is against the spring and back. He killed it again. I then suggested it would be best to release the parking brake. Of course he starts looking in the center for the lever, under the dash and everywhere except to the left of the driver's seat. He held up his hands palms up and asked where the parking brake is. I reached in and released the parking brake. He put it in the very first spot that said reserved for bank president.
When I returned he let me back it out and drive off myself.
I finally realized they was no valid reason whatsoever to bank downtown and I changed to a bank close to my office.
