Valet Parking - Do you do it?

How picky are you about letting others drive your car?

Heck, I was hesitant to let the Tint people drive it all of 10 yards.

But as far as Valet Parking goes, I don't think I could do it. Not yet, anyway. I don't mind making an entrance - but something about putting my RS in someone else's hands makes me feel all funny inside...

Well did it for the first time this saturday. Went to manhattan for a night for anniversary. Stayed at Marriott Marques which has valet parking in their own parking lot. (by the way this is manhattan its safer in parking lot then street) I was nervous the whole night. Afraid of a scratch. Told him I was leaving really early if he could leave in the front. Figure be safer. Was older gentlemen so made me feel safer. Checked car no scratches and didnt add even a mile to the speedometer.

I drive up to the valet spot, drop off whoever I'm with, laugh at the joy on the face of the parking guy running up to my door, but tell him im just dropping someone off.

I would NEVER valet my Camaro.

I use to valet and we wouldn't mind if people would do that. What really pissed us off was when someone parked in the valet lot with tipping or asking. That was going to get you blocked in.

I used the valet at the hotel we stayed at in New Orleans. No issues at all, but I won't make a habit of it after hearing a couple of horror stories from the other guys in my caravan that stayed at a different hotel in NO!

Hmmm lets see .... After many work related trips and having rentals (nice ones at that) being Valet parked.... and after seeing the people shooting pass the bar window of the hotel I was staying at with the top down of the rental car cruising the streets.... IMO .... Valet Parking with the Camaro =

Thats all I got to say about that
