Valet parking, do you?
Went out with a lady friend tonight, it was her company's Christmas dinner.
It turned out to be valet parking, I would not allow the kid to drive my FRC,
she thinks I love my car.
I'm curious to know, does anyone here allow their vette into the hands of some valet?
Save da wave

No chance , No how. Slip the kid a 5 and ask for a good spot.
I used to work valet in college. I learned to drive stick shift at that job. Need I say more!??????????

Yes, but only if they are parking it where I can see it. If they have to drive somewhere to park it it's a big fat negative. Plus I always check the miles first. Don't want any Ferris Bueller shiite going on.

With 550bhp and big $$$ invested in your baby, you are giving it to ???? to drive?
Plus the thought of someone else driving my car... well, let's just say that I break out in hives.
No, No, No, a thousand times NO.

No, I park the car myself. I agree - slip the kid some cash and ask for a nice spot.

Just a taste
How's a kid going to find out what he want's in life,if he doesn't get a taste of it once in a while.Thats how new vette owners are made.Pay it forward and it might come back to you one day.

If my wife doesn't get a key, neither does the pimply faced kid with the lead foot.
Edit: In college I worked as vallet for special events on weekends. I was the oldest one working there, so I was trusted with the expensive cars. Those 911s had a funky pedal function, but sure were fun.
