I usually give the valet a $20 and tell him I would like to park it myself.

NO - Park myself. Most Valets understand

NO! Never will again. Hard and expensive lesson learned. New clutch, new flywheel....the $2000 plus bill is not worth the salt the guy puts on his In and Out burger... I have zero respect for these kids.

No way. They scratched my doorsill once and I didn't notice until a few days later. Had I seen it at the time, they just would have denied it anyhow. I'd rather walk a few blocks.

I take my tt everywhere. At the health club, they've had the same guys for 5 years, and I have them park it. At restaurants, I give them 20 bucks, and ask them to leave it right in front. That way, they put it in place, but don't nail it once they are out of sight. AS

I have to meet clients at various locations and time frame, which doesn't always permit me to park my Black Beauty, Thus far I have not had a problem, 99% of the time, Normally the valet park it right in Front, also I normally turn on the speed limit to 15mph and check it when I return. In all my year I have yet to experince anything negative.

I know how to turn on the beep when a speed is exceeded. Are you saying that you can check to see whether it triggered? If so I would like to know how to do that.

Thanks!

At One-Eyed Jack's, I would personally park your car...

No, unless I can tip the valet and park car where I want and take keys.

how do you make it beep at a certain speed?

houldsworth1

If you have the computer do-dads installed there is an option called something like 'LIMIT' - set that to the speed you are interested in knowing about and when you to past that it will beep, show a speed limit sign on the dash with the text Speed Limit Exceeded (or something like that).

I have mine set at about 78 which I find useful to keep me from attracting too much attention without being aware of it - far to easy to do silly speeds on these and not really be aware of it.

I park mine in two different parking garages in the city, I've been going to them for so long they know me pretty well and take care of my car. If I'm going out in the city I'll park at either one of them and take a cab to wherever I'm going.

I wouldn't valet my car just anywhere.

If you don't know them and they don't know you... NO NO NO absolutely not!!!

True story from a very good friend of mine: 4 months into the ownership of his brand new 330 BMW, he took his wife to Las Vegas, stayed at The Venetian Hotel, had his car valet parked. And on their way back home (to LA), they waited forever to get his car back. It just so happens that the valet crashed into a wall while retrieving the car. Whole front was crushed. Took him several trips back to Vegas to get this settled with the hotel's insurance and have his car repaired in Vegas. 3 months later he had his car back, but handling never felt as good as new. During his ordeal he found out that this is a common occurence at all types of hotels in Vegas (even the best). The worst incident(at the time 3 years ago) was a classic Shelby Cobra totalled by the valet at The Ceasar's Palace Hotel!

Pay some money and figure how to park it yourself upfront and keep the keys! Not worth to chance it.

That's my deal..it's the only way and they understand when they see the car. And they love putting the cash in their pocket! Everyone's happy.

i nearly always valet when i can and i've never had a problem. a while ago a valet at the ritz carlton in o.c. totaled a 360 modena within 5-mins of getting the keys so, you take your chances.
