Valet trashes my GT/CS tonight
Was at a club in town tonight, used the valet because it is not in a better part of town. Went to get the car... watched the valet get into it a half block away... gunned it... right into the back of an SUV and pushed that into a cab. This all happened a few feet infront of me. Driver clames the brakes failed, said he heard a pop just before he hit the SUV. I say BS.
Took out the front end, bumper, grill, hood, and poss both fenders. Poped the drivers side airbag, and tranney fluid was all over the street. Its being towed to the dealer this evening. Will have a better look at it in the day time and assess the damage then. will post photos.

Did you tip him? (sorry, I had too). I hope he lost his job. Hope you get a quick fix.
sorry to hear about that. I hope it works out for you in the end.

Sorry to hear that ! I hope he has a DL's thats the same thing that happened to Bill Cosby when Carroll Shelby built him a Cobra Vallet killed it, do you have a write off insurance ? and just get the whole car replaced perhaps? I hope he did not get a tip but rather a good flogging perhaps.
but rather a good flogging perhaps.

Lead's to a lot of thought when you drop a car off for service ! I want it stated who will drive and are they licenced on so on. like that kinda jerk on Ferris Buller's day of when he parked the Ferrari geesus murphy, should also be a PAIN & SUFFERING clause in our insurance !!!

I am very sorry to hear about that. It'd be awful hard for me to see that happen.
It does remind me that would would be cool is to have a 'valet tune' that keeps the car below 1500 rpms or something like that. Something so that these things can't happen.

HOW COULD HE BE SO STUPID!
And what a ridiculous lie... "the brakes failed"... in a NEW CAR??
Sorry about your Pony, Doug!!! I feel your pain. Hope this turns out ok for you.
