I *never* valet my car...are you kidding? I don't care if my date complains about walking too far in her heels, hell, I'll carry her to/back the whole way. Had a valet tear up the leather in my Audi A4 once in the past so I swore, I'm never going to valet again. Those guys are punk kids and have no respect for these cars...why should they? They didn't pay for them. You have to thoroughly inspect your car inside and out because once you drive away, they become absolved of all liability. How many people do that? Most give them a tip and drive off. So the chances of them being caught if they abused your car are low.

Bottom line, the valet key is a nice feature but one that you should never use.

Or... refer to the previous thread about the wife that ripped the bumper off...

I always insist on driving the wife's vehicle for valeted events. She knows why and doesn't resist.

My out is that "No kids nowadays know how to drive a stick, and they ain't gonna learn on my tranny"

Done.
