so i had my little cousins sweet 16 this weekend. it was at a fancy catering hall and what not, so i get there and pull up and i see the vaelt kids mouth water as he gets in my car so i watch him because i live in the city and no one drives manual or should i say the few enthusiasts drive manual...anyway he pulls away ok so i go inside to say hello so,, of course i get that leem go chek my car feeling..i go outside and theyre pushing my car backwards becuase he couldnt get it into reverse i was like wtf!!! get out ! parked it took my keys and stared those ba5tards down the rest of the nite when i went outside to smoke... why not just say listen can you park it im not familiar with manual... o i was so pi55ed

 

How the hell did they land that job if they can't drive a stick?! LOL I never use valet... The girlfriend doesn't like that... I've seen a valet driver scrap the side of a car of a pillar inside of a garage. Worst sound ever.......

hahahahahaha i hate valet parking so much. I wouldnt even let my girlfriend of 5 years shift when she was in the passenger seat never mind have some stupid jabroni drive my car alone

 

i live on brooklyn new york no one drives manual ...but its cool cuz i romp on cars from stoplights with a good launch

 

are Zs the only car with pushing down shift and reverse? maybe thats why he didnt know

oh and the sales guy at dealer told me never to valet cuz they dont know how to drive and know the lowness of the car. he pays $5 to valet to park his own Z

 

NEVER EVER give your keys to valet people.
I know the Z's not a Ferrari, but those guys treat
your cars like sh*t.
Trust me...I work at a restaurant with mandatory valet parking, and
I've seen them rear end a Camry with G35 while double parking, and
they didn't give a sh*t.

 

I hate valet parking! Scariest thing ever. Never want to give my keys to a stranger.

 

hahaha.. valet couldn't drive manual..

I actually want to be a valet.. you get to drive all the nice, cool cars and get paid for it..

 

I hate valet parking, I always try to avoid it. Id rather pay more and park it myself and keep the damn keys. Whenever I have to valet (if its the only choice), I am paranoid the whole damn time untill I see my car again, it kills my mood sometimes because of all the horror stories Ive heard!!!

 

i'd use valet service to park a rental car only.

 

Are there certain requirements to be a valet? If there are all these retards out there trying to drive manual and even f*cking up the auto tranny cars, I'm pretty damn sure I can do a hell of a better job. I need some money and it sounds fun anyway.

 

ive seen some cars where they will put their car in "valet" mode, in that mode the driver of the car cant exceed 30 mph. good way of knowing that valet guys wont be taking a joyride in your ride.

 

^ Zr1 corvettes had that, it used a valey key that cuts power to about 200hp, and limited speed and rpm I think. Its a great idea, wish the Z had it.

 

+1.. i dont even have the valet key for my Z.. not sure if they come with it though..

 

Lol my friends ar evelets and they try to race to the top of the parking deck. They've hit other cars a few times and nvr said anything, and no one found out. Its a crazy thing. Also, manual experience isnt required for valeting

 

they don't require manual experience? thas a crock of ****.. so many cars and people could get hurt that way

 

ooh. i think i'll stop using valets now. Just imagine them shaving your clutch in 6th gear over and over again until they give up trying to get the car in reverse.

 

nah, my budddys 99 jetta has that, he said that most newer VW's come with that and also my cuzins 02 miata has it as well.

and its funny how he'll even pay to have someone not drive his car

 

I valet on the weekends, it's pretty good money. But I will never valet my car, regardless of what it is...

 

When I bought my car I couldn't get it out of the dealers lot. Embarrassed, I had to ask a salesperson How do you get this thing in reverse?
