Do You Valet

happytheman · 06-23-2011, 02:26 PM

When faced with the choice of using the Valet, or parking in some remote region and huffing it back to the venue of the evening....

What do you do??

(Keep in mind...sometimes the alternative is to park in crappy areas that are not monitored by security)

no way!, go home and take a cab!! or get in the car with the valet and take the keys from him when parked!!

I never valet, even in my beater. I knew valets in high school. They told me all about the performance limits of various cars they'd driven.

yah, i would grab a cab instead. or have a buddy drop me off.

No,no,no,no! No Valet. I usually park out in the woods anyway, so walk will always do me good.

I don't let anyone drive my car w/o me in it so no valet for me

Never. I have told them "get in and tell me where to park". Never had them argue.

im surprised that no one mentioned putting the car (with uprev) into valet mode.... i was kinda look forward to them trying to get on it... no soup for you!

I'm very tempted to do just that.. Never valet my car before but seeing their reaction when they hit the rev limiter at 2500 may just be worth it.

i was thinking i might try it on one of my friends first

The fact that there's a valet mode should be all you need to know about to valet or not.
