Get a $1700 CF exhaust. Then be lucky enough to have a valet tard curb one of your cans.

See if you "don't think about it" lols.

I was valet for about a year after college, and I'm not sure where some of you guys are going with these terrible experiences because with all the cameras and management out there with us, we were too afraid to even consider abusing anyone's car. Our garage was set up in a way that minimzed the chance of accidents and we only parked SUVs on spots with curbs in front of them. Valet was my first time driving a 370 actually, I knew I wanted one already, but that cemented it for me. Maybe I feel better about it since I used to be one, but I don't have much of an issue valeting if I have to. I do typically park myself though because I'm cheap and don't feel like paying for something like that unless it's my only choice.

Your Z maybe just a car, so you can treat your Z as just a car.

Mine is not. It is my Pride and Joy, My Investment, My Asset, My Baby.

Stop telling me to act like you do with your car.
I gotta say, a car is a pretty shitty investment. You will never see a return on it.

But I do agree with the rest.

I used to be insane over my 350 no one drove it. I did everything possible to prevent even a scratch! Now with my 370z im still careful but i have no problem with mechanics and valets driving it. I love my car put alot of time and money into it but in the end its a toy not an investment.People should DD their z's enjoy it !

I have an '05 Titan, immaculate shape, all paid for, worth $10K (Edmunds/Kelly Blue Book)

How's that for a return on MY investment?

Sounds like you need to take care of YOUR investments a little better...

A titan you most likely paid over 20k on that sounds like a 10 thousand dollar lose ...


Also my 370 is in immaculate condition drive it everyday had it valeted !

Just watched the valet stall the car, and then lay down rubber trying not to stall again. I told him the aftermarket clutch was tricky. Can't decide if I should be amused or irritated.
