Worst fear came true. Valet wrecked it, huge dent in back bumper (they backed it into the car in the spot next to where they were trying to park). Now my brand new Z is at the body shop getting a new bumper.

So I'm never letting a valet park my car again. Am I overreacting?

No :shakes head: :mad:

No. I don't/won't allow anyone, but me to drive my car.

mrthomr 12-04-2012 08:52 PM

Im a snob so that = No Valet. lol

Seriously though, if I have to valet I also take another vehicle as well.

I agree with this. I hate turning my keys over, but I generally only vallet at respectable places. Deep down I worry a little, but I am more worried about the every day A-hole whacking my door with their pos. At least with the vallet, there is a designated lot, and only a handful of workers. The sheer number of random people in a normal parking lot, unattended must increase the probability of something happening. Backpack zipper keying your car, someone backing into you, someone opening their door on you...... makes me sick thinking of it.

I explain to them how I dont let anyone drive my car, then ask if I can tip what I would if they did park, if I can park it myself. Most places tell me where Valet parking is then I go park it myself. Very few will be hesistant, but then I tell them they can walk me to the lot and I will park in a spot away from anyone so the chances of them filling the lot and having to park near me are slim. I have had only one turn me away. At which point my evening plans change and I go elsewhere.

I think we've earned the right to be a "snob" as some people say. This isn't a cheap car.

really, Camrys??? ummm...how's about no. you'd have to get a fully loaded camry just to equal the cost as a base 370Z:tiphat:

Never. Last time I had valet is when they scraped the crap out of my g37's lip. Went to the same hotel with the Z and I parked it in front in the front where it wall not be moved.

thanks for confirming. is a base Z still not a Z? The Z is a great looking car and one of the best looking out there under $50,000, just that some people are treating it as god's gift to mankind, when in the end, it's just a car.
