Saw valet driver jump in this AW C7 at Woodlands Mall and zoom up to Mi Cocina
At the Woodlands Mail, The Woodlands, Texas, and I saw valet driver run to get AW C 7 vert (with adrenaline red interior and red calipers) and jumped in car parked down by Flemings and zoomed up to park in front of Mi Cocina. The valet driver then either placed black parking cone in front of C7 and on front bumper area or hit it..by the time I walked from the parking lot to the valet parking station area, the C7 was already parked so not sure if valet driver hit the cone or placed the cone against the bumper...I wouldn't be happy if I saw them drive my Vette like that then park it like that.So note to self....never ever let Valet drivers at this mall drive or park my C7.

Its a $70000 corvette. Not a Ferrari. Hell, SUV's and Mercedes cost more..........
Besides a cone wont hurt it. Hit several at speed when I use to autox.
The car will be fine. Get a grip

.........um, and what exactly is your point, sir? $70k isn't such a disposable amount of money to everyone. Who cares what costs more. The point is the valet was negligent with the person's car and the OP is attempting to look out for his fellow man.

Or Texas 
A lot of the malls also have car washing/detailing services in the parking ramps; so do many office building parking ramps.
Speaking of the title, Mi Cocina sounds really good right now, I could go for their brisket tacos and cilantro rice. Maybe I'll surprise the lady with a "date night" when she gets home from work.

You valet it's your gamble. That person apparently assumes their car will be "better" taken care of OR doesn't give a shi$. We don't valet any of our cars regardless of its cost or our location in town.
Brother in law had his car stolen by a dude in a fake valet outfit. Unfortunately they found the car......trashed.

I think you missed my point but you are entitled to your opinion of what you think..saw the guy drive this car recklessly in the mall parking lot after he got in it to drive it to the valet station..don't know if he hit the cone or not but if it were my car, I still wouldn't want a valet hitting anything with my car....whatever car I had been driving!!

I saw valet driver get in the car and drive like a bat out of u know where to the valet station. When I got there , the c7 was already parked and saw the valet guy hand the fob to another valet guy and they put it in the box where customers keys/ fob kept......so I am sure it was NOT his car.

If the OP was "attempting to look out for his fellow man" he would have attempted to contact the car's owner, left a note on it, or something to let him know. Posting a pic here isn't helping the owner or looking out for him. He doesn't even know if the car hit the cone or if it was put there after it was parked.

Seriously ..you write that about me and you don't think what I was doing was trying to notify the guy( or gal)???In fact, I waited 30 minutes after the car was driven to the valet station hoping to see the owner show up so I could talk to him or her. Think what you want I don't care as I know my motivation for posting the picture! Also I know a lot of corvette people in Texas are on this forum. I was hoping the owner would see my post and contact me.By the way, I am a she not a he....
