Well, my 05GT was almost damaged by a valet parker today.
God they make me nervous.
He almost scraped the bottom side of the car on the curb - came within millimeters i think.
Why don't they take more care !!
And who knows what happens when you're not there to watch!!
Thoughts of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" float through my mind as I eat my dinner at the restaurant.
Unfortuntely this was Beverly Hills. Yea, try to find parking your self - good luck and be prepared to hike.

I won't even park in the mall parking lot.
At the grocery store I apoligize to baggers who carry out for the long walk to the end of the parking lot, but hey, 7 mos and not a scratch.

In general I don't do it, but there is this one club in Rotterdam where I go sometimes and all the valet does is park it in front of the entrance. I know the owner and he asked me this as a favor to him, he seems to like having the car there for the public to see it. And I have to admit, I like coming out of the club and seeing it parked between a couple of Ferraris

If you guys recall my thread on the Lot Boys at dealerships and how they treat performance cars in for service or waiting for pick-up, you'll know I am not surprised by this at all.
Immaturity + not their property + fast car = abuse of power.
Anyone else telling themselves any different is just too lazy about their own car and could care less about what really happens to it. That's why most wealthjy people allow valets to park their cars - they could buy 100 Ferraris tomorrow if they wanted. What do they care if some kid barks the tires?

I avoid valets like the plague. I don't want some stranger going through my glove box and other sh**stuff or beating up my car driving it incorrectly. There have been many exposes showing these guys ripping off everything in sight. I'm sure there are plenty of honest ones, but I'm not taking those chances. I'll walk a couple blocks if I have to.

In some places finding your own parking is close to impossible. I live in Los Angeles and in some parts it's close to impossible to find parking. You almost have no choice but to use valets.

Try finding parking in Beverly Hills on a Friday evening.
At many restaurants, there is NO self parking lot at all - just valet. Unless you want to spend an hour circling like a shark for a parking space, you're forced to valet.
