Valet Parking

Haboob

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

um... there are hyundais, camrys, and accords out there that cost more than a Z. I'm not snobby, i just don't let people i don't know drive my car. so only family and friends touch my cars

SoCalBoy

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

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.

SoCalBoy

so you're saying a Z is Just a Z, like any other car out there???

It's God's Gift to ME, Period. I worked very hard and am paying thru the nose for my Z. It's not only my baby, but it is an investment and an asset as well.

You can trash your z and treat it like Dog Poo if you want, just post that somewhere other than this forum.

Oh, I almost forgot: It's a matter of Pride and Joy... That trumps all...

I bought a Camry SE (midrange camry V6) in 2002 for $27k. It's believable.

So, some more detail on my experience. This was an upscale place in downtown Austin. To their credit, they did inform me of the damage, and they are going to cover it 100% + rental car. I've taken it to my favorite body shop (they did amazing work on my Lexus awhile back) and they said that replacing the bumper should be able to make it look new without damaging resale since there will be no change in paint depth. Also, the driver has been fired.

Understand about difficulty with the low visibility out the rear of our cars, but my car was a touring -- has wide angle backup camera with guide lines showing you exactly where the car is going to go.

But, I will not feel bad about being a snob from here on out.

I'm curious about the place and body shop you are using.

I've let the valet at Chuy's take my car once. Nothing happened.

Of course. And there are Ferrari's, etc. that are more expensive too.

Still doesn't mean that this isn't an expensive car. And, because it's mine, it's my choice whether I want someone to drive it or not.

Selfish? Maybe, but I'm the one paying for it.

I don't see why anyone would argue against it. You can do what you want with yours, but expect to get a crowbar to the kneecap if you touch my car, friend or not. I've already had friends ruin my current car after just a few weeks of owning it, it's not happening again.
