You guys are going to hate me...

The first time in an s2000 was when I was hanging out with my friend at his valet job. We took it for a spin around the block, even launched it a few times to see what it was made of. I felt pretty bad about it. You could totally smell the clutch burning.

My same friend use to always tell me about how he would take a viper, or so and so car, on the bridge and get it upto 100mph....

Needless to say because of him I no longer valet my car unless its a must.

(btw, this was back in 2001)

I've driven on when it was valet only. Just will not do it.

Lynch the valet dude?

 

This is a post coming from someone who has "Whiskey" in their screen name.
...That makes me even more frightened.

No drinking and driving, especially for the valet guy.

 

My first S2000 experience happened at an auto auction when I used to work for this dealer.... I couldn't start the damn thing... I felt like an idiot!

 

There is a problem with that, the few places I have had to valet, the parking was down the block. If the street is 30mph, I want them having the ability to do 30mph. If a car you don't care about won't do over 10mph, most would just mash the gas harder. Possibly causing damage (damage from bucking to drivetrain parts), or another car to rear end it. I could see it happening, based on the places I have been and the drivers on the streets I have driven on.

 

And here I thought I was the only one! Went out to Sunday brunch with some friends of mine, and although the lot at the restaurant is tiny, they insist on valet parking all the cars. Not a big deal, I was able to watch the guy park the car as we waited for our table. When we went to leave, I handed the valet my slip, and it took him a good ten minutes. I walked the (10 yards) over to where my car was parked and pointed at the big red "Engine Start" button on the left-hand side. The valet gave me a sheepish look and asked me if I just wanted to drive off since I was already there.

 

this thread has turned into "piss me off and i hate valet now"
