That's because you're an OG!:bowrofl:

i always valet












...my wifes car:excited:

when i go to my country club i valet, and they park her right up front.

Most of you guys are pretty uptight. I've used the valet numerous times and never had an issue with it. Downtown Charleston isn't exactly a good place to go speeding around anyway. Plus, the place I usually eat at that has valet, also has a hotel that is several hundred a night and up, so I figure those guys drive many nicer cars than a 370z.

Valet!
 

I have been a Valet for over a year now and can tell you no matter how safe and responsible I may be with customers cars not every valet treats them with the same respect if you know what I mean.......... and just cause it's a Z and not a $3,4 or 5 some odd Hundred thousand dollar Scuderia, Murcielago SV, SLS AMG etc, etc means nothing(in fact they're the ones that have $10,000 paddle shift dual clutch systems which make them way less fun to drive than any standard Z anyway in my opinion). those cars never get ragged on cause they're the ones who tip $20-$100+ for it to be up front. as for $5 to be parked up front that just does not happen (and i've valeted in many different areas). my advise is pay the $20 to keep your car up front weather you park it or not & they hold the key yes but just lock your glove box w/ any valuables and give them just the fob and your set. S*** just pay em $50 and who cares if you've got enough for dinner, your car's SAFE!!!!
Also sorry for taking up the whole page with one post, hope it's helpful.

:iagree:

Valet? No we call a cab instead.

I usually attempt to "size up" the valet and decide whether to valet or not on the spot.

i watched a guy talking with the valet one night. He kept saying "i own a green Jaguar but thats not my green Jaguar" then another green Jaguar pulled up, an old couple got out and told the valet " i dont think this is my car" The old peoplegot in the wrong car and didnt realize it till they were on the highway.

One time I got to a hotel late at night and decided to valet. I checked in, got my bags and gave the keys to the attendant. I came back out the next morning and my car hadn't moved. They ran out of valet spots so they just left it there. Needless to say I didnt tip.

Screw that!

After spending many years in the golf business, I hope you don't like your car(s) if that's the case. Country club valets are some of the worst.

I always ask to put my car right up front so I can watch it from the restaurant. I give them $5 and it works every time. No would mean I self park. I still hate the whole valet thing.

Install a GPS tracking module or hidden video camera to catch shenanigans red handed.

I've never used valet on my WRX or Z. I've have used valet on my Frontier in the past.
