Driving home from helping out at the Church this evening I found myself in a very good mood:dblthumb2::dblthumb2:
I drive past a local restaurant with valet parking a notice a sik white Dodge Challenger parked in the "special" high tipping spot in front. Sounds right. Then I watch the valet go over to the

car and proceed to lean/sit on the hood. I was driving or would of taken a pic. It was all I could do to not turn around and tell the owner of the restaurant. Then I realized "hey, this

guys stealing my happiness and its not even my car"
Still very frustrating to see!
 
Sadly, valets don't have any respect for people's cars, even though they are paid to take care of them. If I'm going somewhere with valet service, I find my own place to park before I go in, even if it's out of my way to do so. I know whichever of my cars I would leave would most likely show back up with a lot less gas, and no rear tire tread left :laughing:
 
Last time I used valet (at a hotel) they burned up my clutch, smelled so bad by the time the manager came about 10-15 mins later the smell still lingered. I was seeing red. Their insurance company directed me to get it inspected at a transmission shop, and of course the clutch still worked fine but I was contemplating how many miles this guy burned off the life of my clutch. Car was sold recently, but I'll never use a valet again as long as I have MT.
 
I valet for a restaurant and I must say a lot of the guys i work with do that :/ it hurts to see them do that but I can't really say much to them, they'll think I'm nuts or something lol. A lot of bad valet guys give us good guys a bad repuation :(

As far as manual transmissions, I know how to drive stick correctly, as far as others well I can say haha
