My Ride: 2005 545i with everything

I have no problem valet parking my car. It is transportation first and foremost. I refuse to baby or coddle it like it's some china doll. I'm not married to it-- it's going to be gone in 3 years anyways, and the moment it becomes too 'precious' to actually use without being worried about it, it stops being enjoyable to me.

My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.

At work, in the garage, I just have to let a carwasher drive my car.

We are talking about 100 feet or so at the time.

Once he bumped my old E60 so that the front lisence plate got hit.
After that he waxed and washed my car for free a couple of times...

It costed my ?5 to repalce the plate.

My Ride: 530i Mystic Blue (2006) premium package 330i Mystic Blue (2004) premium package, sport package

If there is a choice, I definitely won't choose valet parking. I guess not only the valet parkers that you have to worry about sometimes; I've seen people at the dealership (when I took my car for service), the "teenager" (whom the dealer hired and he seems like he has just got his driver license) drove the car to get it washed after the service; when he was trying to park the car between two cars, he was driving too fast and smashed three cars in a row (including the one he was driving!!) :'( Is this scary enough for you??
