Default Top 10 reasons not to leave your car with the Valet on New Years (pics)

Ok screw the other nine reasons...

Apparently they forgot I had two inches of ground clearance on the front end of the car. I'm calling my third RM Chin Spoiler officially Kaput! Incidentally, this was the work of a valet at the Summerfield Suites by Windham in downtown Seattle next to the Convention Center. Here are some captures off my Camcorder.

Damn, are they cool with reimbursing you, or are they putting up a fight? Hope everything turns out well.

I cant see very well in the pics, but PLEASE tell me that's just black plastic! (although I can't imagine anyone using CF on a chin spoiler)

Are your seats black and white or is it just the reflections? I went to your website but had no luck looking at your pictures got an error message.

Oh My that sucks!!!!!!

Valets suck, I know my best friend used to be one!!! HE would tell me horror stories on how they would mistreat peoples cars all the time!

This and Ferris Bueller are in a nutshell why I will NEVER valet my car! If you insist hard enough they WILL let you park it somewhere by yourself!

I hope they are making good on it.

Unbelievable, Jerry. Are those idiots at least going to pay for the damages? I can't picture a situation that would allow me to let someone valet my S2K. Your incident just furthers my paranoia (New Years or not).
