or better yet, just go to a drive-through, but then park and make her eat outside the car.

someone else already had this issue

Solution: throw around the money, write down the mileage, lecture the valets, and intimidate people!

A member on another forum Valet parked his Ferrari Scuderia and the valet scraped his rim.

I was a valet before I was in the Air Force. Believe me, you DON'T want to leave your Camaro with a valet...

Agreed! You will come across as a gentleman and someone that takes pride in his things at the same time. She should understand. If she says one thing about it, don't take her out again....she's too materialistic and self-centered.

Oh Hell no!!!!

Drop her off next to the Valet dude then get your walking shoes on and hope he doesn't take off with her before you get back...

...or marry the girl then you rule.

I've only Valet 2 of my cars...G8...never.

94 Camaro - went to a wedding with mandatory valet. Luckily you could see where they park your car. I watched the guy park it myself. Still uncomfortable though.

96 Accord - MGM hotel in Vegas. There was no way I could park in the self park and take all our luggage by hand. When we picked up the car the next morning...valet had left the lights on. Battery died. Waited till they jumped it. Was late to my dinner reservation X(

The wife and I agreed that was the last time we ever valet a car.

Around here the places that do valet let you leave it parked right there if you pay just a little extra.. Then you can look like a high roller or something lol..
