really? First, in most situations, the valet is going about 500 to 1000ft at most. 2nd, most valets don't abuse cars...the ones that do tend to get caught and people make a big deal out of it.
I quite frankly don't care....If I'm at a decent restaurant, I'll let them valet either the s500 or the 993. Never been let down.
I have insurance.

Good point. I keep forgetting the stupid things they can do.

Personally, I probably care too much and the damage that they are likely to do such as a ding or scrape isn't covered by insurance !

Mines $750 I think.
Does it suck? sure. Am I gonna spend time worrying about it instead of enjoying a lovely dinner? not for a minute.

I had a valet parker admit to me that they would drive the car 100 feet into the parking garage out of site, then out the back of the garage into a grass field and do donuts at redline.

Depending on how much wine I had at dinner I would probably notice if my car came back cover with grass like a riding mower...

When I see a Porsche in a lot, I usually park my beater to the right side of them (at max distance the space allows) to "guard" against dings.
