If you don't trust the valet parking, then don't do it. It's not like it's a necessity.

I think the need for a valet key was realized the very first time a car was valet parked. Need I say more?

Most of the places that my wife and I would go here in Houston that have valet parking, it's kind of a joke. The parking spot is no more than 5-10 spots from where you are standing. It's like, dude-I'll park it myself and just give you the money!

My thoughts exactly. In LA it's hard to go to an event or function and not have to deal with valet. I valet only when I really have to, or I'll ask to park it myself. Some valet parkers are really insistent to get in my truck, I just tell them to #$%^off and park it elsewhere.

You've got to worry not only about door dings and idiots going for joyrides in your Titan, but also roof height. I can't tell you how many times I've parked in a garage and saw paint and indications of roof racks on the undersides of pipes and structures. Can you say H2?

I'm with you on that one..

Even if I had a Pinto I wouldn't let them valet park it. It's a car-guy thing... don't trust anyone you don't know behind the wheel.

I can do it with one finger.

Number one, I'm pretty darn picky about who I let drive any of my vehicles.
The last time I had my car Valet parked it took the idiots over 30 min. to find my keys.
Secondly, I'm a Redneck and darn proud of it but if i'm going to a function that requires Valet parking I sure as heck won't be driving a pickup truck. That's what God invented the SUV for...................

I let them park my 7 series, no reason not to let them park my truck.

Of course, there's two versions to all sotries. If you were wearing a tux standing on a corner at Westheimer and some snooty asshat tosses you his keys and says "Park that, boy." What would you do??? ROFL!!!

Jeostang · 08-28-2005, 02:56 PM

I don't let them park my mustangs since there supercharged and there just a joy ride waiting to happen. My truck is used for work, hauling, and to carry more then 3 people so I don't mind them parking my truck. Every place I've been they alway park it by itself because of its size and most places that have valet parking have a much nicer selection of cars to joy ride in then a big pickup truck. Now with that said I only do valet parking if its required.
