Valet Parking
 

I am driving out of town today. I just wanted to know if anyone lets valet park their car. I am thinking of insisting on parking my own Nismo. I worry about the front fender being low and them trying to pull all the way into a space and smacking it. Or park too close to another car just so the door will hit it. I know eventually it will get door dings, but at least I can try to avoid it.

I dont. if I know its valet only I will take another car or find a ride with someone

edit: If my car was stock I would probably let them park it and make sure to inspect the car afterwards.

:iagree:

Is there such a thing as a stock Nismo?

I would treat the nismo the same way IMO... it is still considered stock as you can buy it from the dealer that way.. this is just my :twocents:

I understand what you mean.. I dont think a Nismo is stock. I think a regular 370z is stock. The Nismo has the upgrades.

I hear you on this as well... If i wasnt a mod addict I would probably agree! As I said before, if I could avoid valet I would however I know some places that will either make you valet or :gtfo2:

i dont ever let the valet drive my car. i just tell them, ill pay for the valet fee, park my car and take the keys with me.

never. i dont care if i pulled up in a lawnmower

I only valet at our mall since they know to leave my car there right in front without driving it. Plus I tip them well and know them.....and they are experienced in driving/parking exotics.

random d-bag drive my car? hell no

I think he meant if he had a regular 370z and not a NISMO. Don't quote me on this though.:tup:

The Nismo is no different than a base 370Z in terms of "stock" or not. Can you order the car that way from the factory? Yes. Can you order replacement parts from a Nissan dealer? Yep. Therefore, it's stock. It's just a trim level.

To answer your question, no. I've seen way too many awful things from valets. Unless you slip the dude a $20 and tell him you want your car left up front.


The last time I valet'd a car, the lip got cracked and they definitely watched part of the movie I had paused in the DVD player.

:eek: :facepalm:

i was a valet at one point in my long list of job choices as a college student and while valets do have fun driving cars. i have let valets valet mine. just slip the driver a 5 and he usually parks it in front next to other nice cars.
