nice day to take some pics of my car-b2.jpg




damn valet bastard

nice day to take some pics of my car-b3.jpg



went to a friends place to visit for an hour, and all they had was valet parking.
instead of parking in the normal spots inside(no curb blocks there), they put my car on the boat dock on the side of the building.

i usually avoid valet, but got stuck in this instance.

Sorry to see what happened to you.
I don't have enough experience with valet, and damages they caused, did they offer anything?

Valet is not very popular down here in Australia. Mainly becasue minimum wage is so high!
But what is the point of having those wheel stoppers soooo dam high!
If you don't know when to stop the car, you deserve to go over the edge.

With this photo eveidence, i hope you take it to the valet company and demand Compensation!
Sorry to hear that sh#t

And that is why you always back in the car... I've gotten into the habit regardless of the car I'm driving, be it a small Civic or a minivan.

always, and i mean always, tip the valet first and tell him you want to park the car yourself. all they care about is getting tipped.
