Just goes to show the arts ARE elitist, yes? If you don’t drive a Lexus, you aren’t good enough for the performing arts.

In one of the garages there will be only one level… to be shared with Booker T. students.

This was done at the Galleria/Westin a few years ago during the Christmas season.

Don’t know if it is still in effect.

They are probably doing this because Lexus thinks it is great marketing. They hope that as peons like yours truly drive on down past all the Lexi that we will look at them longingly and at some point in the future, buy one. I can promise it will have the opposite effect on me–obnoxious marketing tactics that divide arts patrons into “us” and “them”, even if they help the arts, will only make me resentful towards Lexus and less likely to purhcase even a used one.

Shoot, just chip in with three or four friends on something like this little creampuff in Denton:

Voila! Frontline parking at all Lexus-sponsored cultural and sporting events!

This would be soooo awesome… if I owned a Lexus.

Since I don’t, I hate this idea.

Yeah, the Rangers do this too, I never get to take advantage of because when I get dragged to the Rangers stadium the only way I find it bearable is to get sloshed in the Gold Club. I have the Lexus convertible so we always end up taking someone else’s car.

They did this awhile back at Victory too, after paying the absurdly overpriced valet to go to the absurdly overpriced and overrated ghostbar my valet fee was refunded because I have a Lexus.

I also seem to remember that Audi sponsor(ed?) the valet for Dallas Symphony and I believe it’s either free or discounted for Audi owners.

I thought that was your car, Scott. Given how poorly you’ve treated me lately, it seemed like the right thing to do. Go Batfaces!

The Rangers still have that and several weeks ago I drove my BMW there and the valet charged me $30 (cuz it wasn’t a Lexus) and when they returned my car to me it had been spray painted with a huge silver star on the entire passenger side of the car. Thank you whoever you are. Bright side is the Rangers insurance company rejected the claim and I am getting to put the repair on the Rangers credit card…best money Hicks has spent in years at the Ballpark as far as I can tell.
