I've had valets **** up every car in some way or another. There are Valet Programs now that limit speed to 30MPH. I think imagineauto.com has it.

I've delayed purchasing a new car until May ... unfortunately I sold everything off the car and one night I noticed how stock my car was ... so to hold me over I've ordered rims again and looking at body kits ... maybe I'll still keep her with the new car ... good memory

For all you never valet people ... most of the places I go that have valet are busy and you must park your car in a public place next to Texas sized trucks/suvs/haters ... I valet my car in a heartbeat at these places and make sure I pay a premium to have my car parked right up front where they only drive a max of 20-30 feet ... eventually I become a regular (until the club/bar isn't hot anymore) to where they know I'm always dropping a 20 and just move a cone for me when I pull up and do it myself ...

I'm interested : where do you "never valet" guys park your cars say at a busy bar, restaurant, club, show, etc ... ?

Dude valeting is fine and paying extra for a vip spot is all good and dandy too. However, valeting upfront in Hollywood and Beverly Hills is not a $20 dollar deal anymore. If you want an upfront spot u gotta cough up 50 to 100 bucks depending on how upfront u want it. And then u of course gotta take care of the door guy so you dont have to wait 30 min to get in or to get a nice table. Hell by the time you're ready to sit down or order a drink, ure already assed out 200 bucks. Thats a months lease on a honda accord lol. Nowadays if I go out with a chick I never have less than 500 bucks in my pocket (plus plastic just in case). My only consolation is that these valet and doormen ****ers get my crumbs. Oh btw in Hollywood its practically impossible to find parking on a fri or sat nite. On top of that no hot chick will ever walk the two or three blocks, where u might find parking, to the joint that ure going to, if shes gonna give it up that night. Thats LA fuya!!!!!hilarious

Unfortunately, this is very true. It's impossible to come across as suave after parking a few hundred yards from the restaurant/club/etc. Sometimes you just have to pony up the cash and pray nothing happens to your baby if you want to impress the ladies.

i forget how expensive it is in other cities ... here in Dallas $20 and you're considered rich ... actually I valeted cars for three years and my more expensive cars were my cheapest tippers ... the MB S500 drivers were the worst ... my new Chevy truck owners, Porsche, and any car with aftermarket nice rims were the bigger tips ... I always went out of my way for nice cars to give the best service: opened ladies doors first, commented on how nice the car was, refused a ticket to make him appear important, put it up front, had the car running and ready as they put one foot out the door, etc ... mostly got $5 ... Dallas has a status that is starting to be embedded as it's reputation as the city of "$60,000 millionaires" ... seriously it's all I find when I go out and it's really what all the crap women are looking for ... so the equation is right ... I try make them my entertainment, hence the nice car and small tip ... $20 would be like 10% of their car payment?

Do what the wealthy Moroccan Expats do in Paris, bring your own valets when you go to town
Their valets come in their own E55s.

Just hire a limo (and anything but one of those common fugly towncars) and save yourself the trouble driving for important dates...that should impress them sufficiently haha


On the otherhand, unless its a really special evening dress and shoes occasion I wouldnt be able to stand any chick who can't walk her lazy *** a short distance from the location we're going. A little exercise walking to the car after a nice meal never hurt anyone.
