After many bad experiences with valets, I try not to use them. If I know I have to valet park, I take the other car instead. I'd never let the valets park the S2K. In fact, I usually ask them if I can park my own car, but still pay them. Most valets let you do that.

 

Yeah same problem here, and also some have trouble finding reverse too.

 

yep! They can't seem to find the reverse gear. I once watch this guy trying to reverse in 6th for 5 mins. NOT MY S though.

 

i never valet the car. when i was in college a valet at pierview in malibu backed one of my girl friend's brand new vw cabriolet into a big pos ford pickup. all the while we're screaming at this idiot to stop.

i offer to tip the valet well and then park it myself.

i like the idea of the kill switch. i will be using that.

 

I don't think there are many restaraunt in Salt lake city that have Valet parking & the ones that do you can also park yourself.. So no I don't have a problem with valets like you big city folks

 

I used to valet park cars as a kid. Needless to say, I will not be handing the keys to my S2000 to a valet any time soon.

 

Ah, yes... I can hear the them from "Star Wars" now... Gabella!

 

Personally I have had friends that have been valets and let me tell you...never ever give your stook to a valet...most of them get in a fast or sporty car and either go for a quick drive when you ain't looking or just thrash it. (Hell one of my friends could barely drive stick when he was a valet...Man I will never forget when I saw him kill a ferrari three times while trying to park it ...man just pitiful)

 

I could never let a valet touch my car, especially after watching "Ferris Buellers Day Off" . Those guys in that movie popped that sweet Ferrari's cherry . Anyone know what model that was?

 

Yeah, that's the mental image I have of valets as well. My car flying into the air after a hill, while the theme to Star Wars is playing.
