I work with a guy who used to valet in college. What do you think happens when you hand over the keys to a Murcielago to a college kid?

Yeah, talking to him makes me terrified of ever using valet again.

Wow! Looks like he got pretty good at drifting inside the parking lot... lots of practice... and he did not care what car it was, abused all of them. What a @#$%@$^$%

I worked as a valet at a high-end residential building when I was in college. I regularly parked Porsches, Rolls Royces, etc. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I never did any of that crap! I just parked the car!

I always avoid valet and things like this make me glad to have done so.... People have no respect.

I guess besides drive it like you stole it, it's also drive it like you're valet parking.

I virtually always valet my car. And I actually valet parked at the Adam's Mark hotel here in Dallas in the last couple years as well! [not sure if they used the same company] Good news is that 9 times out of 10 the car stays up front by the entrance of the mall/restaurant/shop whatever.

And honestly, life is too short to worry about people peeling out in my car. It probably happened to me, but c'est la vie.

Gee, I'm so surprised.
