your door!!!

i've had my s2k for 2.5 years but i can only remember ONCE when the valet parking attendant brought my car, open the door and let me in.

EVERY SINGLE OTHER TIMES, they couldnt find the door handle. IF they did, it will be locked becuz when the car starts, my alarm locks the doors. so it takes them another 30 secods to unlock the door.

so now, i usually just expect to wait about 45 secods outside my car before i can get in. and i'd try to communicate with the guy so i can tell them where the things are, usually they panic becuz they can't open the car so they don even pay attention to what i'm trying to communicate. couple times they find the power window button and opens the window but most of the times they can't even find that.

this one time, this guy, out of all the buttons, pressed the engine start button to grind my starter moter gears.

i guess its just tooo dark inside the car at night. so i went to pepboys and bought myself blue LED lights and installed them near the door handles. it sorta looks cool too.

anybody have similiar experiencecs?

 

I'd never take my car to a valet when I'm not required to.

This one time I was driving through a parking garage, a car behind me was driving fairly aggressively. I found out it was a valet driver when he turned into the floor for valet cars only. Gives me the shivers what those people COULD do to any car in that small amount of time.

I feel ya about the door handle thing. Whenever I drop off passengers at night I usually have to open up one of the cabin lights so they can see where the handle is at.

 

tip on the way in....and i thought the start button only would work if the clutch was in?

 

Some people have the habit of holding the clutch in when the car isn't in motion.

 

i used to valet cars and i tell ya,i'd never ever valet my car. especially if the valets are younger guys. just imagine young bored kid+your car+bad day at work. you get the point. most of those horror stories are true

 

im with you on that its hilarious watching people that have no idea where the handle is on the inside just look around trying to find it

i personally wont let anyone i cant trust completly drive my S. other than my family i can name only a handful of people ive trusted to drive it. Fish22 being one of them

 

Ditto, self park your car. You never know which valet your car will goto, and if your car is nice chances are a valet that wants to beat on it will get to.

 

i used to be a valet also. won't matter how much tip you give em on your way in. they MIGHT be a little less careless if you're a regular that tips well.

 

45 seconds... man, you must be in hurry to get home.

 

I used to valet park cars, and let me tell you, your MUCH better of parking the car yourself. some of the people i worked with didnt even really know how to drive stick, but they acted like they did. I would NEVER valet my S!

but yah, people can never find the door handles in my car either
