That's a bummer, but given the cost of body repairs on average these days I can see why they would comp the stay. The wife and I took the Z to Fort Walton for the long weekend. Had a good crowd of 65 family members this year!! I have to say I was pleased by how well the Z traveled on a 4 1/2 hour trip. Gonna step it up a bit and shoot for a 14 hour drive to northern Illinois in the spring! Hope everyone has enjoyed the Holliday!

I was already comp'd the stay BEFORE they dinged the Z.... That's why I'm hesitant to accept whatever settlement they come up with. Also, the casino manager is a good friend.

Mad: Did yo get much rain? It poured in Gulfport and the Z handled well. Rained so hard, it powered off the love bugs!

Personally, I'd be pissed.

If the casino manager is a good friend, he should understand the issue and not have a problem resolving said issue for you on his/their dime.

We drove down last Thursday morning and returned last night late to avoid the mobile Alabama traffic jam today. Didn't see much rain while we were on the road. Managed to time it just right to miss the small storms last night. So now I have to scrape off the love bugs the old fashioned way... Hahaha

I'm about to wash the Z once I destroy some bacon and eggs.

He offered to fix it. I guarantee you the $ amount of what he comp'd me far exceed the $ amount to PDR the ding out...

That sucks. I would never valet my Z (or any other car) at any casino in MS. Just observe how those guys drive "fun" cars on any weekend night when they are out of sight of the entrance.

If he offered to fix it, graciously accept his offer. Thank him and let him know how much that means and that you are now much more inclined to continue to give his casino your business because of it. Those guys are pretty competitive, and if you drop a line like "I know such-and-such down the street" would never do that, it will go a long way in your relationship with the casino.

Here's the deal --- I or my GF do not gamble. Just friends taking care of friends.

OK. That puts it in a little different light. I would base my decision on whether accepting would influence the subsequent relationship at all. In other words--just do what feels right.

Of course, my first mental picture when I read this was of the scene in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" when the parking attendants took out the Ferrari.
