Just recently lowered the z quite low, took it to vegas this past weekend ill start with this vegas sucks for lowered cars i dont really understand cause of the amount of nice lowered cars that people bring to vegas, i parked my car at mandalay valet after scraping on like five speedbumbs i told them to be easy on speedbumps and what not and gave them a little extra cash. i recieved the car yesterday and imediatly i saw my bumper sagging by the head light so i was like what the eff happened and the valet guy was half a tard and was like i dont know, so i looked all around and both sides under the headlight are broke and hanging and the support brakets are cracked. They did a report and said call back in ten days, it didnt seem like they gave a ****. all in all i should get a free bumper out of it and maybe a comp weekend but ill never bring my z to vegas or park with valet again. Thanks for letting me rant.

 

sucks to hear man. i'm going to vegas end of april. i like staying at planet for that reason. no speed bumps coming in. i usually tip the the valet guys a little extra to keep my car out front and next to the exit. vegas has way too many dips and random speed bumps.

 

Seriously, if you were the valet guy parking cars would you care? Using a valet is like gambling, only give them what you can afford to lose.

 

why not lift it slightly so you don't have to go 2mph and slanted over speed bumps? I know it looks sexy and all, but seems like it makes it too easy for stuff like this to happen. either way though it sucks
good luck with getting a new bumper though!

 

Did you ever see the movie "Ferris Bulers Day off"...?

reasons why i park my own car.

 

No bailment occurs when a valet takes our cars.

Truly a gamble.

Sorry to hear.

 

was valet your only option? if i knew my car wasnt clearing these speed bumps.. i dont think i would have allowed.. the very educated valet parking guy.. to drive my ish over them... oh well sorry to hear man.. lesson learned

 

well it kinda was the parking garage had a s#!tload of bumps so i figured i would go with a couple of bumps and park valet, plus i love when i get my car out of valet and everyone just stops and stares. def lesson learned.

 

what does you're Z look like that everyone stops and stares in Vegas?

 

I have yet to Valet my car, then again i hardly ever go on the strip.

 

your car looks 4x4 status in your profile. post pics

 

Insurance?

 

Valet FTMFL...My job requires me to valet everyday...doesn't bother me much because it's a short drive to the parking garage but I hate leaving work. They always start my baby up and drive her up to me without warming her up.Im **** when it comes to warming up my Z to full operating temperature before even tapping on the gas pedal...and even after she's warmed up i like to take it slow for the first few shifts.This reminds me must invest in a kill switch!!!!!!

 

osiris ftw.. map 3 cant pass 3500 rpm.. so no joy riding my btch

 

Here are some examples of valet parking...............

those are old pics ill post new ones asap.

 

First of all, i think this city is total ****, but driving a lowered car here isnt that bad. man up.

you should have never given your car to the valet in the first place, self parking is where it's at. anytime i go to the strip (which is rare) i park my own car. Some of the ramps to the parking garages have treacherous ramps though. Lesson learned i guess. I hope you get your bumper fixed but i highly doubt they are going to compensate you for the damage done.

 

hate to say it, but your car does not look that low in the pro. stock body no less. Post the pix!!!

 

sorry its a crappy cam. ill take more during the day tomorrow. and im not a "body kit" type guy i think the z looks clean stock body.

 

Ouch to those pics. I had that happen to my buddy who had an evo with a lip and they totally just hit the parking block. Good thing that he looked before we left the place. Bad news though that he didn't get any compensation from it because the valet guy wasn't picking up his phone for insurance purposes after we left.

Lesson learned: not to valet car ever again. You never know what they do with the cars e.g: the video...
