Valet Parking- Turf War
As soon as I pulled the M3 into the Marriot on Ft Lauderdale beach- the parking attendant was all eyes. As I headed into the lobby to inquire about a room, he demanded the key. I explained that it would be there only 2 minutes and he said he would have it towed. So I exercised my freedom of choice and went next door to the Yankee Clipper where they were glad for me to leave my car out front for a few minutes.
I really don't let anybody drive my M3 especially a teenager. Anyone else fussy about Valet parking?

oh yeah, ever since i had my e46, which was a 6mt, i pulled up to a restaurant who only had valet parking in the city, and the guy told me he can not drive manual..... so im like ok then I will just park myself up front. When I was walking to my car after he tried to come help me open the front door and half expecting a tip, yeah right. Since then I try to avoid giving my car to valet as much as possible.

Typically a $10 works. This has worked all the time with my M3 and they leave it alone up front. This has even worked with my FJ Cruiser after doing an off-road trail run in Vegas. Pulled up to the valet at the Bellagio in my lifted FJ Cruiser full of dirt and mud. I tipped the valet guy and he left it up front backed in on display next to Lamborghini's, Ferrari's, Porsches, etc. Tip up front and tip based on how well you want them to take care of your car. |

One time I told valet that I would park the beater. told me I had to park it on the upper level of the parking lot, I said okay. On the walk down 5 levels I obsverd one kids "valet" race an Challenger SRT8 around the ramps and do a burn out into a parking space. It was like watching F and F Tokyo Drift . As I walked down the each level, the tire screaching did not stop as they drove these cars into to parking deck.
