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.

 

OMG!!! That sucks...

Did you tip him? (sorry, I had too). I hope he lost his job. Hope you get a quick fix.

 

Sorry for your loss. Make them total it!

 

Brakes failed my a$$ maybe hes a ricer sorry to hear about that. I hope it works out for you in the end.

 

****, I'm glad that didn't happen to me...I'm afraid I would loose it and break his legs. What bites is the fact that it's not a regular Mustang since it's a special edition and it will show in the record that it has been in an accident...In other words, it will loose value. If you can't get the insurance company to total it, you might as well sue the club for your losses. They are responsible for your vehicle up until the point were they give the keys back to you. Keep us updated!!!

 

Doug - Ouch, that does not sound good. Sorry to hear it!

 

I can't write down what I'm thinking @#$%^&*&^

 

Geez, that really is a terrible story.

Hope you get it resolved to your satisfaction, I know I would be VERY, VERY angry.

 

How the hell would tranny fluid be out?

Are you sure it wasn't power steering fluid and coolant?

 

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.

 

Very sorry to hear, I will NEVER let a Valet near my car............ever!!

 

I agree, it'll be like letting someone ride your wife...no freagin' way.

 

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 sorry to hear this happened. hopefully everything will be worked out ok.

i think i would be more mad that the stupid valet tried to cover his butt. just be honest. and yes try to get it totaled, that bad of damage... never going to be the smae again

 

Might be tranny fluid if its an automatic.

the tranny cooler?

 

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.

 

Yeah, I'm sure his radiator is busted and that's where the tranny fluid gets cooled

 

on that!

 

Holy mother of God!! I am angry just reading this!! I applaud your restraint... it's not even my car and I'm fantasizing about pulling that stupid azz moron out of the wreck and smashing is lying freaking face into the asphalt and then repeatedly kicking him in the nuts for good measure.

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.

 

I'm very sorry to hear this! I hope it all works out for you!
