2001 QuadCab vs. Valet

[Scooby]

I'm one of those guys who doesn't like to valet park my vehicles (ever see Ferris Bueller's Day Off?). Why do we trust our pride-and-joy to some lot monkey just because he's wearing a red vest?!



So Saturday I'm infront of the restaurant dropping off my wife and a cake, and Paco (I'm not being politically incorrect here... that was his name!) tries to hop in to park my rig. "No thanks," I say, "I'll park it myself. " Then he runs to the minivan behind me, hops in the drivers seat and rear-ends me with the damn minivan! WHAT THE !@#$ !



The "funny" part is that the person who owned the minivan was standing right next to it also... . the valet guy's partner, Juan, pops over and rubs the bumpers with his hands and motions Paco to drive on - and he does - quickly!



Net result: Don't know about the minivan, but I got her paint and rubber off my bumper and there is no damage to my truck..... dang valets!

Valet parking is the worst moneymaking scheme ever thought up. I won't even say who i think probably thought it up.

I have to say the worst valets are here in vegas. Most of them are dropouts and cant drive sh%#! Then after Racing your vehicle around like a Go Kart the want a TIP! I learned not to valet park after my 99 truck got a mysterious dent in it! NO THANKS!

Just today i had to pick something up in an office building that of course had a garage WAY too low for my Ram, so i drove to the front Valet desk and paid them to watch my truck while it was parked right in front of the building. It was either that or park like literally 20 blocks away!.

I saw on tv a couple of weeks ago where these guys actually take vehicles for a joy ride and help themselves to anything in the vehicle they want. It was on a hidden camera and actually showed these jerks and all the stuff they do.

Flew down to Vancouver and rented a Chrysler LHS that converted me to leather (nice stuff). Drove up to Whistler and stayed at one of the swankier hotels while SHE attended a weekend conference. It was valet parked. When I got it back the next morning, it had an additional 110 km on the odometer. It wasn't until I drove it back to the rental agency that I discovered the additional milage. Disgusting creeps! Not even SHE with the 5. 0 Mustang has driven the Turbosaurus yet!

I won't let the lot monkeys anywhere get behind the wheel of my truck. If they won't let me drive it in due to their "insurance" I just say "See ya. " I don't let friends drive on trips, that way I get to do all the driving and they are so grateful they buy the beer.
