One of my good friends owns a valet company. After talking to him, i will NEVER let a valet drive my evo. They beat the hell out of cars and can not be trusted ever!

Some places you'll go to don't have anything but valet parking. Diamonds in Illinois comes to mind as one of these places, there's nowhere near there that you can park.

I just tip the valets and park myself.

3. just asking for something to happen to their car and will probably whine about a negative outcome
4. simply ignorant, geeky, old to the point their joints ache

Does anyone else concur with my sentiments?

But hey, that's just my opinion.

Yep I never let anyone valet my car. I woulc completely avoid taking my car to a place if valet was the only choice. Sounds ****, but I love my car THAT much.

Yeah like 600 rpms! lol

I remember i valeted my car at one of my fathers parties with my Audi, I loved the car so i went up to the kid who was prolly my age. And just said, "Listen, this is my baby, where you gonna park her?" To my surprise he was hella mature he said im parking it right up front (about 50 feet away) and he said, stay here, watch and i'll give you the keys back wen im done. All went smoth and i threw him 5 bucks and went on my way...

It's not them parking it you have to worry about, it's them parking it, watching you have a few drinks inside, then realize your not coming out for a little and taking it for a joy ride...

Anyway i agree...NO VALETS!

Every girl I ever dated post Evo purchase has gotten used to me parking far *** away from whenever we go anywhere. It's just a given in my opinion. And if we ever did valet we'd be usin her car not mine!
