This is why I park my own car!!

I refuse to use valets for many reasons...burned clutches, door dings, bumper scuffs, etc... This really puts a nice finish on why I avoid places that are valet only. I showed this to my girlfriend and asked her to remember this the next time I tell the valet I will park it my own damn car....

OMG - Yes - no valet parking for me. I also try & find a spot where no one can park next to me. Not so paranoid I guess!

Man I shudder to think how many times I've had my car valet parked for me. Crap maybe I'll have to re-think it.

Just sent this to my wife. If the clutch on my car is to be burnt, it is by my foot and my foot alone.

There are times when the only option is to use valet but I always tell them I want to park the car myself and keep the keys. That or they can move it right upfront where I can see the car.
